Terms of Service

1. Terms of Service Overview

Aussie Bucks ("Aussie Bucks", "we", "our", or "us") operates a free-to-play social entertainment platform located at https://aussiebucks.com/. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Aussie Bucks website, features, and experiences (collectively, the "Platform").

This Platform is designed for Australian adults aged 18 and over who are seeking casual, virtual-only, casino-style social entertainment. All activities are for enjoyment only, and no part of the Platform involves real-money gambling, financial products, or the opportunity to obtain real-world rewards.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as any additional policies referenced in these Terms, including our Guidelines, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Responsible Gaming information.

If you do not agree with these Terms or any applicable policies, you must not access or use the Platform.

3. 18+ Age Requirement

Participation on Aussie Bucks is strictly limited to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. The Platform is intended for adults only and is not directed at children or minors.

You may be asked to confirm that you are 18+ when first accessing the Platform. By using the Platform, you warrant that you are at least 18 years old and legally permitted to engage with social casino-style entertainment products in your jurisdiction. If you are under 18, you must leave the Platform immediately and must not return until you meet the age requirement.

4. Nature of the Platform

Aussie Bucks is a digital social entertainment hub that offers virtual-only, free-play, casino-style games and related social features. The Platform is provided exclusively for recreational and entertainment purposes.

No part of the Platform enables or permits you to participate in real-money gambling, betting, or financial speculation. The Platform does not offer, support, or advertise opportunities to obtain cash, monetary payouts, or any other real-world financial benefit.

5. Virtual Coins / Virtual Bucks

All gameplay on Aussie Bucks is conducted using virtual coins, called "virtual bucks" or similar in-game values (collectively, "Virtual Coins"). These Virtual Coins are solely a mechanic to enable in-Platform entertainment and progression-style experiences.

• Virtual Coins are not legal tender, do not represent a balance of real money, and have no monetary value.
• Virtual Coins cannot be purchased, sold, withdrawn, transferred, exchanged, traded, or redeemed for cash, digital currency, prizes, goods, services, vouchers, gift cards, or any other real-world benefit.
• Any virtual balances, levels, or milestones are purely symbolic of your activity within the Platform and do not entitle you to any form of real-world compensation.

6. No Real-Money Gambling, Purchases, or Prizes

Aussie Bucks does not participate in or promote any real-money gambling activities. Specifically:

• There are no deposits or paid top-ups of Virtual Coins.
• There are no payouts, real-money rewards, or tangible prizes of any kind.
• The Platform does not provide an opportunity to recover any form of financial loss or to gain financial profit.

Any references to coins, chips, or similar game elements are strictly virtual-only and for entertainment.

7. No Accounts or Payments

Use of Aussie Bucks does not require you to create a personal account, register a profile, or supply payment details. The Platform does not process or request credit card information, bank details, or any other real-money payment method.

Progress, preferences, and Virtual Coin balances may be stored locally on your device via browser technologies such as localStorage. This means that:

• Your experience is generally tied to the specific browser and device you use.
• Clearing your browser storage, switching devices, or using private browsing modes may reset or remove stored progress and virtual balances.

8. Permitted Use

You agree to use the Platform solely for lawful, personal, entertainment purposes and in accordance with these Terms and all applicable laws and regulations. You must also follow any community standards or guidelines published on the Platform, including the Guidelines and information available on the Responsible Gaming page.

If you breach these Terms or use the Platform in a way that we reasonably consider inappropriate, unsafe, or unlawful, we may take steps such as limiting or blocking your access to the Platform, without prior notice and at our sole discretion.

9. Prohibited Conduct

When using the Platform, you must not engage in any conduct that could harm other users, interfere with the operation of the Platform, or breach applicable law. Prohibited conduct includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Attempting to circumvent, avoid, or falsify age restrictions or age confirmation mechanisms.
• Using automated tools, bots, scripts, or exploits to manipulate gameplay, Virtual Coins, or Platform functionality.
• Engaging in harassment, bullying, threats, hate speech, or any behaviour that targets individuals or groups based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, disability, or any other protected characteristic.
• Promoting or linking to real-money gambling, betting services, unlicensed operators, or other financial schemes.
• Attempting to access the Platform in a way that could compromise its security, integrity, or availability, including hacking, introducing malware, or exploiting vulnerabilities.
• Reverse-engineering, decompiling, or otherwise attempting to derive the source code of any part of the Platform, except where permitted by law.

All content and materials on the Platform, including but not limited to games, graphics, logos, branding, text, layouts, interfaces, audio-visual elements, and underlying code, are owned by Aussie Bucks or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws and treaties.

Except as expressly allowed by these Terms or by applicable law, you must not reproduce, distribute, modify, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, or create derivative works based on any part of the Platform without our prior written permission.

11. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis for entertainment purposes only. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no representations or warranties (express or implied) regarding the reliability, availability, security, or suitability of the Platform for any purpose beyond social entertainment.

To the greatest extent permitted by law, Aussie Bucks, its affiliates, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data or interruption of service, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Platform.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any right or remedy, or any guarantee, warranty, or other term, that cannot be lawfully excluded, restricted, or modified under Australian consumer law.

12. Changes and Contact Information

Aussie Bucks may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our Platform, technology, legal obligations, or other relevant factors. When we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to inform users, which may include updating the date at the top of this page, providing a notice on the Platform, or highlighting key updates.

Your continued use of the Platform after any changes to these Terms becomes effective will constitute your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree with the updated Terms, you must stop using the Platform.
