Terms and Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Southern Spin Club ("Southern Spin Club", "we", "us", "our") and the free‑play social casino platform available at SouthernSpinClub.com (the "Website").

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the Website.

2. Nature of the Service – Free-Play Only

Southern Spin Club is a social casino entertainment platform that offers free‑play slot and card games with interactive challenges, social leaderboards and achievement rewards.

• All gameplay uses virtual points that have no real‑world monetary value.
• We do not offer real‑money gambling, betting or wagering of any kind.
• You cannot win or withdraw real money, cash prizes or any item of monetary value.
• All experiences are recreational and are not intended to simulate real‑money outcomes.
• Achievements, rewards and leaderboard positions are purely virtual and non‑transferable.

The Website is designed for entertainment and does not constitute gambling or a gambling service under New Zealand law.

3. Eligibility and Age Restrictions

• You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Website or create an account.
• By using the Website, you confirm that you meet this age requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms in your jurisdiction.

We may request proof of age or identity and may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe that a user does not meet these requirements.

4. Accounts and Security

4.1 Account Creation

Certain features, such as social leaderboards and challenges, may require you to create an account. When you register, you agree to:

• provide accurate and up‑to‑date information;
• keep your login credentials secure and confidential;
• update your information promptly if it changes.

4.2 Responsibility for Your Account

• You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
• You must notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access or misuse.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that we reasonably believe are compromised, inactive for a long period, or used in breach of these Terms.

5. Virtual Points and Rewards

The Website may use virtual points, tokens or similar in‑game indicators of progress ("Virtual Points").

• Virtual Points are for entertainment only and have no cash or property value.
• Virtual Points cannot be exchanged or redeemed for money, goods or services.
• You do not own Virtual Points and may not sell, trade or transfer them.

We may adjust, reset or remove Virtual Points or achievements (for example, to correct errors or prevent abuse), consistent with the free‑play nature of the Website.

6. Responsible Play

Although Southern Spin Club does not provide real‑money gambling, we support safe and responsible gameplay. You agree to:

• use the Website only for personal, non‑commercial entertainment;
• take regular breaks and avoid excessive play sessions;

If you are concerned about your own or someone else’s gaming behaviour, we encourage you to seek guidance from appropriate support services in New Zealand.

We aim to keep the Website available and enjoyable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error‑free access.

• The Website may be unavailable from time to time due to maintenance, updates or technical issues.
• We may add, remove or modify games, features or Virtual Points at any time, as long as the service remains free‑play and entertainment‑focused.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from such interruptions or changes.

11. Disclaimers

The Website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties or representations, express or implied, about the Website, including that it will be uninterrupted, secure or free of errors.
