game drawn due to repetition

I just had a game against another player called a draw.  We had made the same move 5 times apiece.  I think daring each other to do something different.  After the 5th move the game was drawn.  Is that an official chess rule or more a "house" rule here at chess.com?  I'm happy with draw (I earned a point!) but my friend was pretty ticked.

It's an offical rule - if the same position occurs three times it is a draw
