Good to know

Questions, answered

Is the platform free?

Yes. Every game on NZ Play Arcade is free to play. There is nothing to buy, no deposits and no payments of any kind. It is built purely for entertainment.

Can I win real money?

No. There are no cash prizes and no real-money play. The coins, points and scores in our games are virtual only and have no monetary value. They cannot be bought, sold, exchanged or withdrawn.

Why do I need to confirm my age?

Our games are styled as social casino entertainment, so they are intended for adults aged 18 and over. We ask you to confirm you are 18+ before you enter. Your confirmation is kept on your own device only.

How are virtual coins or points saved?

Where it is useful, your progress and virtual totals are stored locally in your own browser on your device. We do not hold any account for you and nothing is sent to a server.
