1. Acceptance and who we are
These Terms of Use (the "Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you and Slot Possums LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company ("Slot Possums," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the website at play.slotpossums.com, including the Slot Possums Casino games, the Slot Possums Partners page at /partners/, and any related content, features, and services we make available (collectively, the "Service").
By checking the acceptance box at the eligibility gate, clicking "Enter," or otherwise accessing or using any part of the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
We may update these Terms as described in Section 10. The "Effective" date above tells you when the current version took effect.
2. Nature of the Service — no gambling, no prizes
The Service is a free-to-play social casino provided solely for entertainment and amusement. You expressly acknowledge and agree that:
- No consideration. You cannot purchase anything on the Service. There is no store, no payment method, no deposit, and no way to pay money or anything of value to us in connection with play. All Virtual Items (defined below) are provided free of charge.
- No prize. Nothing on the Service can be won. The Service does not award, issue, pay, or facilitate money, prizes, gift cards, merchandise, cryptocurrency, or anything of value. Game outcomes affect only play-money balances stored on your own device.
- No redemption. No Virtual Item, balance, multiplier, streak, code, or result on the Service can be redeemed, cashed out, exchanged, sold, or converted into money or anything of value, whether from us, from any partner, or from any third party.
- Not a sweepstakes, lottery, contest, or promotion. The Service does not offer any sweepstakes, drawing, giveaway, or promotional game of chance. Because nothing of value can be won, no alternative method of entry, official rules, or odds disclosure applies to the Service. Any sweepstakes or promotions Slot Possums runs elsewhere (for example on streaming or social platforms) are governed by their own separate official rules and are not part of the Service.
- Not gambling. Because there is no consideration and no prize, the Service is not gambling under the laws of any U.S. jurisdiction. Game names, terms, and mechanics (such as "spin," "roll," "multiplier," or "win") are used for entertainment and refer only to play-money outcomes.
- Practice only. Games on the Service are illustrative practice versions. They are not the games offered by any third party, do not use any third party's random number generator, and do not guarantee that any third-party game will look, play, or pay out the same way.
3. Virtual Items: Gold Coins and Practice Sweeps Coins
The Service displays two play-money balances: "Gold Coins" (GC) and "Sweeps Coins" (SC) (together with any other in-game credits, "Virtual Items").
Practice Sweeps Coins are not the same as any partner's Sweeps Coins. Sweeps Coins on this Service are practice tokens that exist only in your browser. They have no monetary value, are not promotional entries, cannot be redeemed for prizes, and have no connection to, and cannot be transferred to, any Sweeps Coins or similar currency offered by any third-party partner casino. We use the "Sweeps Coins" label only so the practice games mirror the two-currency layout you will see at licensed partners.
You agree that:
- Virtual Items are licensed, not sold. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable license to use Virtual Items within the Service for entertainment only.
- Virtual Items have no monetary value, are not currency or property of any kind, and are not redeemable, refundable, exchangeable, or transferable for money, goods, services, prizes, or anything of value, from us or anyone else, under any circumstances.
- You may not sell, trade, gift, transfer, or offer Virtual Items to anyone, in or outside the Service, and no real-world or secondary market for Virtual Items is permitted or recognized.
- We may grant, limit, reset, modify, or eliminate Virtual Items and balances at any time, with or without notice, for any or no reason, including when we update the Service or when your device's storage is cleared. We have no liability to you for any such change or loss.
- Balances are stored in your browser's local storage (see Section 6). Clearing browser data, switching devices or browsers, or using private browsing will reset balances. We do not back up, restore, or reconcile balances.
4. Eligibility, age, and location
To use the games on the Service you must be:
- at least twenty-one (21) years of age, and of legal age of majority where you live;
- physically located in the United States, in a state or district where the Service is offered (see below); and
- not prohibited from using the Service by any applicable law or by a prior suspension or ban by us.
Excluded jurisdictions. Out of caution, and although the Service itself involves no purchase and no prize, we do not offer game play to persons located in the following states, which have enacted laws targeting or restricting the dual-currency or sweepstakes-casino model: Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Washington. We may add or remove jurisdictions at any time without notice. Persons in excluded jurisdictions may browse informational pages but must not play.
Restricted jurisdictions. Certain other states (currently Arizona, California, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and West Virginia) may be excluded by some or all partner casinos. Practice play on this Service may be available there, but partner eligibility is determined solely by each partner.
Your representations. Each time you use the Service you represent and warrant that you meet all of the above requirements and that the state you select at the eligibility gate is the state where you are physically located. We rely on your representations. We may, but are not obligated to, use IP-based or other location and age checks, and may block or terminate access based on them.
Minors. The Service is not directed to, and may not be used by, anyone under 21. If we learn that a person under 21 has used the Service, we will block access to the extent we are able. Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising their children's use of the internet.
5. Third-party partner casinos and affiliate disclosure
The Partners page and certain links, buttons, and codes in the Service refer you to third-party social casino operators ("Partners"). You acknowledge and agree that:
- Slot Possums is an independent affiliate marketer, not a casino operator. We do not own, operate, control, license, or manage any Partner. We do not offer Partner games, hold Partner funds, process Partner payments, verify Partner identities, issue Partner coins, or award Partner prizes.
- We are compensated. When you register with a Partner through our link or promo code, the Partner may pay Slot Possums a referral commission or other compensation. This is disclosed by the "#ad" marker on the relevant pages. Compensation does not change your Partner coins, odds, or terms.
- Partner terms control. Your relationship with any Partner is governed solely by that Partner's own terms of service, sweepstakes official rules, privacy policy, and eligibility requirements, which you must read and accept on the Partner's site. Any Sweeps Coins, promotional entries, prizes, redemptions, verification, or disputes relating to a Partner are exclusively between you and that Partner.
- No guarantee. We do not guarantee that any Partner is available in your state, that any offer, bonus, code, or coin amount we describe is current or will be honored, or that any Partner is or will remain lawful, licensed, solvent, or operating. Partner offers change frequently and may be withdrawn without notice. Information on the Partners page is provided "as is" for general informational purposes and is not legal, financial, or professional advice.
- No endorsement or agency. Nothing in the Service creates an agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or fiduciary relationship between Slot Possums and any Partner or between you and Slot Possums with respect to any Partner.
- Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release Slot Possums and its members, managers, contractors, and agents from any and all claims, demands, losses, and damages of every kind arising out of or relating to any Partner, any Partner website, product, promotion, sweepstakes, coin, prize, redemption, verification process, account action, or data practice.
6. No accounts; local device storage
The Service does not create or maintain user accounts on our servers. Any player name you enter, the state you select, your acceptance of these Terms, and your Virtual Item balances are stored only in your browser's local storage on your own device, and are not transmitted to or stored by us. You are solely responsible for your device and browser. We cannot recover, transfer, or restore anything stored locally. See the Privacy Policy for details on the limited data our hosting provider processes.
7. License and acceptable use
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-commercial, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable license to access and use the Service for your own entertainment. You agree that you will not:
- use the Service if you are under 21 or located in an excluded jurisdiction, or misrepresent your age or location;
- use the Service for any commercial purpose, or to offer, advertise, or facilitate gambling, wagering, or any real-money activity;
- attempt to sell, trade, transfer, or assign value to Virtual Items, or represent to anyone that Virtual Items have value or are redeemable;
- copy, modify, distribute, frame, scrape, reverse engineer, decompile, or create derivative works of the Service or any part of it, except as expressly permitted by law;
- use bots, scripts, automation, exploits, or modified clients, or manipulate local storage to alter balances and then present the results as genuine;
- interfere with the security, integrity, or performance of the Service or its hosting;
- use the Service to harass, defame, or infringe the rights of any person, or to violate any applicable law, including the laws of any state regarding gambling, sweepstakes, or consumer protection;
- remove, obscure, or alter any legal, compliance, "#ad," age, or eligibility notice on the Service; or
- use the Slot Possums name, logo, or content to imply sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation without our written permission.
8. Promotional codes and free-coin features
The Service may offer daily, hourly, stream, or other free Virtual Item grants and codes. These are free entertainment features, not promotions, sweepstakes, or contests. No purchase, payment, subscription, follow, or action of value is required to receive them, and they have no monetary value. We may change, limit, or discontinue any free-coin feature or code at any time. Codes are for personal use on the Service only and may not be sold or transferred. Codes or offers for Partners are governed by Section 5 and by the Partner's own terms.
9. Intellectual property
The Service, including all software, code, game designs, graphics, artwork, characters, the Slot Possums name and crown-and-possum marks, text, and audiovisual content, is owned by or licensed to Slot Possums LLC and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved. Third-party names and marks (including those of Partners) belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only.
If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice meeting the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to the contact in Section 18.
10. Changes, suspension, and termination
Changes to the Service. We may modify, add, remove, or discontinue any part of the Service, including any game, feature, Virtual Item, balance, or Partner listing, at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you.
Changes to these Terms. We may revise these Terms at any time by posting the revised version at /terms/ with a new effective date and version number. Material changes will also be presented at the eligibility gate. Your continued use of the Service after a revision takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree, your only remedy is to stop using the Service. Changes to Section 14 (Dispute Resolution) do not apply to any dispute for which you had already given us written notice before the change took effect.
Suspension and termination. We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to all or part of the Service at any time, with or without cause or notice. On termination, your license under Section 7 ends and any Virtual Items are forfeited. Sections 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, and 11 through 18 survive termination.
11. Disclaimers
The Service, all Virtual Items, and all content and information on it (including Partner information) are provided "as is" and "as available," with all faults, and without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Slot Possums disclaims all warranties, express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
Slot Possums does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components; that any game outcome is fair, random, or representative of any third-party game; that any balance will be preserved; that any Partner offer, code, availability, or state eligibility information is accurate or current; or that the use of the Service or any Partner is lawful in your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for determining whether your use of the Service or any Partner complies with the laws that apply to you.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In that case the warranties are limited to the minimum scope and duration required by law.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Slot Possums LLC or its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, or suppliers (the "Slot Possums Parties") be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, Virtual Items, or balances, or for any losses relating to any Partner, arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, however caused and under any theory of liability (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, statute, or otherwise), even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Because the Service is provided free of charge and you pay nothing to use it, to the fullest extent permitted by law the total aggregate liability of the Slot Possums Parties for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100.00).
The limitations in this Section apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of certain damages, so some of these limitations may not apply to you; in that case liability is limited to the fullest extent the law permits.
13. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Slot Possums Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use or misuse of the Service; (b) your breach of these Terms or any representation in them, including any misrepresentation of your age or location; (c) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party; (d) your use of, registration with, or activity at any Partner; or (e) any attempt to assign, sell, or transfer value to Virtual Items. We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate with our defense.
14. Dispute resolution, arbitration, and class action waiver
Please read this Section carefully. It requires you and Slot Possums to resolve disputes through binding individual arbitration instead of in court, and waives jury trials and class, collective, and representative actions. You may opt out within 30 days as described in Section 14.8.
14.1 Scope
This Section applies to any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and any Slot Possums Party arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms, the Service, any Virtual Item, any Partner referral, or any advertising or communication by Slot Possums, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether arising before or after you agreed to these Terms (each, a "Dispute"). "Dispute" includes disputes over the scope, validity, enforceability, or interpretation of this Section, except as stated in Section 14.9.
14.2 Informal resolution first
Before starting arbitration or any other proceeding, the party raising a Dispute must send the other a written Notice of Dispute that includes the claimant's name, mailing address, and email; a description of the Dispute; and the specific relief requested. Notices to us go to the contact in Section 18 with the subject line "Notice of Dispute." Notices to you go to any email you have provided to us. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute for at least sixty (60) days after the Notice is received, including at least one telephone or video conference if either party requests it. Statutes of limitations and filing-fee deadlines are tolled during this period. A court may enjoin the filing or prosecution of an arbitration that does not comply with this Section.
14.3 Binding arbitration
If a Dispute is not resolved informally, it will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect (the "AAA Rules"), as modified by this Section. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. If the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration consistent with this Section, the parties will select an alternative administrator or, failing agreement, a court will appoint one. This Section is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.
The arbitrator will be a single neutral arbitrator who is a retired judge or an attorney with at least ten years of experience. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief that a court could award, must follow these Terms, and must issue a reasoned written decision. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any arbitration hearing will take place in Benton County, Minnesota, or by video conference at either party's election; if your claim is for US $10,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted solely on written submissions.
14.4 Fees
Payment of filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Because the Service is free, if your claim is for US $10,000 or less and is not frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, we will pay all AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees that exceed the amount you would pay to file in small claims court. Each party bears its own attorneys' fees and costs unless the arbitrator awards them under applicable law or finds that a claim or defense was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.
14.5 Class action and jury waiver
You and Slot Possums each agree that any Dispute will be brought solely in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff, class member, or representative in any purported class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding, and may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. You and Slot Possums each knowingly and voluntarily waive any right to a jury trial.
14.6 Mass arbitration
If twenty-five (25) or more similar arbitration demands are filed against Slot Possums by or with the assistance of the same or coordinated counsel within a 90-day period, the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules (or the administrator's equivalent) will apply, and the following applies in addition: the parties will select ten (10) demands per side to proceed as bellwether cases first; all other demands will be held in abeyance, with filing fees deferred and statutes of limitations tolled, until the bellwether cases are resolved; after the bellwether cases are resolved the parties will engage in a global mediation; and if the remaining Disputes are not resolved by mediation, either party may elect to have them proceed in court under Section 15 rather than in arbitration, in which case Section 14.5 continues to apply.
14.7 Small claims and injunctive relief exceptions
Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court in Benton County, Minnesota, or in the county where you reside, if the claim qualifies and remains in that court. Either party may also seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in court to prevent infringement or misuse of intellectual property or to enforce Section 14.2, without first engaging in arbitration and without waiving arbitration of the underlying Dispute.
14.8 30-day right to opt out
You may opt out of the arbitration and class waiver provisions of this Section by sending written notice to the contact in Section 18 with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms. Your notice must include your name, the email address (if any) and player name you use with the Service, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms. If you opt out, Section 15 governs where Disputes will be heard, and the class action and jury waivers in Section 14.5 still apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
14.9 Severability of this Section
If any part of this Section, other than the class action waiver in Section 14.5, is found unenforceable, that part will be severed and the rest of this Section will remain in effect. If the class action waiver in Section 14.5 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), then that claim, and only that claim, will be severed and litigated in court under Section 15, after the arbitration of all remaining arbitrable claims is complete. Whether the class action waiver is enforceable is a question for a court, not the arbitrator.
14.10 Time limit on claims
To the fullest extent permitted by law, any Dispute must be filed within one (1) year after the claim arose, or it is permanently barred.
15. Governing law and venue
These Terms and any Dispute are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota and applicable federal law of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except that Section 14 is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Subject to Section 14, you and Slot Possums agree that any Dispute that is not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in or serving Benton County, Minnesota, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of and venue in those courts and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
16. Responsible play
The Service is designed for casual entertainment. Even though nothing here has value, social casino games can be absorbing. Set time limits, take breaks, and stop if play stops being fun. If you are concerned about your relationship with gaming of any kind, consider speaking with a qualified professional. Slot Possums does not provide counseling or treatment and does not accept responsibility for your play decisions at any Partner.
17. General terms
- Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any notices posted on the Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Slot Possums regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings on that subject.
- Severability. If any provision of these Terms (other than as addressed in Section 14.9) is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.
- No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by us.
- Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them. We may assign these Terms freely, including to any successor or affiliate.
- No third-party beneficiaries. Except for the Slot Possums Parties, who may enforce Sections 11 through 14, these Terms create no rights in any third party, including any Partner.
- Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including hosting or network outages, third-party service changes, or changes in law.
- Electronic agreement. You agree that clicking, checking, or otherwise indicating acceptance electronically has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature, and that notices and records may be provided electronically.
- Headings and interpretation. Headings are for convenience only. "Including" means "including without limitation." No rule of strict construction against the drafter applies.
- Export and sanctions. You represent that you are not located in, and are not a national of, any country subject to U.S. embargo, and are not on any U.S. government restricted-party list.
- California residents. Under Cal. Civ. Code § 1789.3, you may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.
