Who we are
Arcade Marigold (“Arcade Marigold”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is a free-to-play social casino website operated by arcademarigold.com, hello@arcademarigold.com. You can contact us at hello@arcademarigold.com.
Arcade Marigold is not a gambling service. It does not offer real-money gambling or the chance to win real money or prizes, and it does not hold, or need, a licence from the Gambling Commission.
These terms
These terms of use apply whenever you visit Arcade Marigold or play any of its games. By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. Our Privacy policy and Cookies & storage page explain how information is handled and form part of these terms.
Who can play
Arcade Marigold is intended for adults aged 18 or over who live in the United Kingdom. By playing, you confirm that you meet both conditions. Every game asks you to confirm your age before your first play on a device; if you tell us you are under 18, the games will not open.
If you are a parent or carer, please see our responsible play page for practical steps to keep games like these away from children on shared devices.
Free to play
Everything on Arcade Marigold is free. You do not need to register, create an account, provide payment details or pay a subscription to play any game. We do not charge for refills, extra features or anything else.
Marigold Tokens
The games use a virtual currency called Marigold Tokens (“MT”). When you first play, you receive a balance of 5,000 MT, and you can refill your balance to 5,000 MT at any time at no cost. Marigold Tokens:
- are free and are provided for entertainment only;
- have no monetary or real-world value of any kind;
- cannot be bought, sold, traded, transferred to another person or exchanged for money, goods, services or prizes;
- cannot be withdrawn or cashed out in any form;
- are stored only in your browser on your device, and may be lost if you clear your browser data, change device or use the “Forget my settings” tool;
- may be reset, adjusted or removed by us at any time, for example when a game is updated. Because tokens have no value, this does not cause you any loss.
Collecting Marigold Tokens in a game is not a win of anything of value. No result on Arcade Marigold entitles you to any payment, prize or reward.
No in-app purchases
There are no in-app purchases on Arcade Marigold. You cannot purchase Marigold Tokens, game features, extra plays or any other item, and we will never ask you for card or bank details. If anyone contacts you claiming to sell Marigold Tokens or anything connected with Arcade Marigold, it is not us.
The games and random outcomes
Our games simulate casino-style play (reels, a money wheel, a scratch card and video poker) for entertainment. Outcomes are generated at random by your browser using its built-in random number generator. Each result is independent of previous results. The rules and pay tables for each game are shown inside the game itself and on its page, and they apply as displayed.
Practice or success at social casino games does not imply future success at real-money gambling. Please do not treat anything on this site as advice or training for gambling with money.
Responsible play
We provide reality-check reminders, a break tool that locks the games for 1 hour, 24 hours or 7 days, and a balance reset on our responsible play page. We ask you to play in moderation and to use these tools if play stops being fun. Free, confidential support is listed on that page and at the foot of every page.
Acceptable use
You agree to use Arcade Marigold only for lawful, personal and non-commercial purposes. You must not:
- use the site if you are under 18 or outside the United Kingdom;
- try to interfere with, overload, disrupt or gain unauthorised access to the site, its servers or the networks behind it;
- copy, scrape, frame or redistribute the site or its content by automated means;
- use the site to offer, promote or arrange any form of gambling, betting or trading in Marigold Tokens;
- misrepresent your age or identity, or help anyone else do so.
Intellectual property
The Arcade Marigold name, logo, games, symbols, illustrations, text and the design of the site belong to the operator or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights. You may view and play the site for your own personal entertainment. You may not reproduce, adapt or distribute any part of it without our written permission.
Availability and changes to the games
We aim to keep Arcade Marigold available, but we do not promise that it will always be online, uninterrupted or free from errors. We may change, suspend or withdraw any game or feature, update rules or pay tables, or close the site, at any time and without notice. If we change a game’s rules, the new rules apply from the moment they appear in the game.
Our liability to you
Arcade Marigold is provided free of charge for entertainment. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
Subject to that, we are not responsible for any loss of Marigold Tokens or game progress, or for losses that were not foreseeable. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights, including those under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, are not affected by these terms.
Links to other websites
We link to independent support organisations, such as BeGambleAware, GamCare, GamStop and Gambling Therapy, because they offer genuine help. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content. We never link to gambling websites.
Ending or limiting access
We may block access from a device or network if we reasonably believe these terms are being broken, for example by automated scraping or attempts to disrupt the site. Because there are no accounts, this usually means filtering traffic through our hosting provider. You can stop using Arcade Marigold whenever you like; clearing your browser data removes everything the games stored on your device.
General
If any part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest stays in force. If we do not enforce a term straight away, we can still enforce it later. These terms are the whole agreement between you and us about using Arcade Marigold, and no one else has rights under them. We may pass our rights and obligations to another organisation that takes over running the site, and if that happens we will say so here.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes to the games or to the law. The date at the top of this page shows when they last changed. If you keep using the site after a change, the updated terms apply.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Any dispute will be dealt with by the courts of England and Wales, except that if you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in your local courts.

Questions about these terms, and complaints of any kind, are welcome at hello@arcademarigold.com, or by post to arcademarigold.com, hello@arcademarigold.com. Please give us as much detail as you can, and we will respond within 14 days.
