Games & Playing

Is it really free?
Yes, completely. All three games are free to play with no hidden costs, no in-app purchases and no subscription. You will never be asked for payment details.
Can I win real money?
No. All coins, points and rewards in our games are virtual and have zero monetary value. You cannot deposit money, withdraw winnings or exchange virtual coins for anything of value.
Do I need to register or download?

What devices can I play on?
Any modern web browser on a smartphone, tablet or desktop computer. Games are mobile-first and responsive. Tested on Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge.
Are the games fair?

What happens when I run out of coins?
In Ocean Slots and Treasure Wheel, you can refresh the page to reset your virtual coin balance. Since coins have no real value, there is no cost to starting fresh.
