Keep your feet on the quay

No money is ever at stake. The habits are real enough, though, and this is how the harbour office deals with them.

Why free harbour games are 18+

The look, sound and pace of social casino games are borrowed straight from real gambling. Pilchard Quay is aimed solely at adults over the legal gambling age and never at anyone under 18. Jowan checks age twice: on the banner at the harbour wall when you arrive, and once more with the tick on the account form.

Never on the harbour’s watch

  • Offering or promoting gambling for real money.
  • Handing out any prize with real-world value.
  • Coins for sale, or in-app purchases of any kind.
  • Steering you towards gambling operators or affiliates.
  • Countdowns or streaks meant to pull you back to the water.

Straight from the harbour keeper

A free game can be made to feel generous, and it refills your crate for nothing. Real-money games will do neither. A lucky tide on these waters is no guide at all to how you would fare with money riding on it.

Weather signs to heed

  • Still at the water long after you meant to tie up.
  • Turning tetchy when you stop.
  • Reaching for the reels to shift a mood.
  • Play nibbling into sleep, work or time with people.
  • Starting to look round for a real-money version.

Keeping a steady hand on the tiller

  • Decide your time at the water before the first spin.
  • Leave autoplay switched off, always.
  • Come ashore for regular breaks.
  • To start afresh, clear this site’s data; to stop for good, block the site in your device settings.

A free social casino on a working quay. Nothing tied up here is real-money gambling.

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 Every water is played with virtual coins of no monetary value, and those coins are never bought, sold, withdrawn or exchanged.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.
