Terms of Use
Who these terms are with
These terms of use are an agreement between you (the visitor) and Wilson Media Limited, 107 Ponsonby Road, Wellington 6011, New Zealand — the operator of OtagoArcade (otagoarcade.com). Where these terms say "we", "us" or "our", we mean Wilson Media Limited.
Upon accessing OtagoArcade, you agree to these terms of use. Please read them carefully before continuing. If you disagree, do not use this site.
1. Purpose of the site
OtagoArcade offers free social casino entertainment across four browser-based games played with virtual chips. No real money is involved on the platform. Players cannot win or lose actual funds. The site delivers purely recreational gameplay, separate from gambling.
2. Age requirement
Site access is restricted to individuals aged 18 and over. By using this site, you confirm you satisfy this age requirement. If a parent or guardian notices a minor accessing the site, please intervene and contact us directly.
3. Virtual chips
I'm ready to rewrite the paragraph for OtagoArcade. However, I need you to provide the actual original paragraph text that needs rewriting. You've given me instructions for how to rewrite it, but no source text. Please paste the original paragraph (the one starting with "I notice you've asked..." or whatever your actual content is), and I'll deliver a rewritten version in neutral en-NZ editorial English, 56–77 words, preserving all facts and proper nouns.
- exchange chips for money, gift cards, goods or services;
- transfer chips to another person;
- make a claim based on chips or virtual wins.
Chips remain unlimited; your balance resets to one thousand once depleted, though it doesn't transfer across sessions.
4. Intellectual property
OtagoArcade and its licensors own all rights to site design, text, images, code, game simulators and content. Copyright and intellectual property protections apply throughout. Unauthorised copying, modification, commercial use and distribution remain prohibited.
You may view content for personal, non-commercial use and share links to the site’s public pages.
5. Your obligations
When using the site you agree to:

We reserve the right to modify, add or remove website content at any time without prior notice. Terms updates apply immediately upon publication. The most recent modification date appears on each page for your reference.
7. Availability

8. Limitation of liability
The site is provided on an 'as is' basis without warranty of error-free operation or uninterrupted service. You use the site at your own risk. We accept no liability for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from use — including loss of data or business interruption.
