Four boxes, about twenty seconds, and a crate of 100,000 coins on the quay.
Pilchard Quay is a free-to-play social casino: three original slot-style waters played with virtual coins, and Springtide Rockpools needs no sign-up whatsoever. None of it is real-money gambling, nothing won carries real-world value, and nothing is sold in-app. What the account does is keep your coins, your level and your daily missions entered together under your name in Jowan’s harbour book.
| Box on Jowan’s berth form | Needed for |
|---|---|
| Nickname | Think of it as the name painted on your boat. Use any name you fancy; your real one is not required. |
| Email address | How the harbour office finds your account when you log in. No marketing mail is ever sent to it. |
| Password | Filed only as a one-way hash, which nobody in the harbour office can read. |
| 18+ tick | Every water looks and sounds like gambling, so the quay steps are for adults only. |
Your real name, date of birth, address, phone number and payment details are never requested. With no harbour dues to collect, there is nowhere on the quay they could be used.
Already in Jowan’s harbour book? Log in instead.
Only adults of 18 and over come down the quay steps at Pilchard Quay. Every water is played with virtual coins of no monetary value, and those coins are never bought, sold, withdrawn or exchanged. The harbour office keeps no coin counter and no payment page, puts up no prize of real-world value, and success here does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
