If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, do not use this website.

Save where otherwise stated, Station Casinos shall be referred to as “Station Casinos”, “us”, “we” or “our” and you are referred to as “you” or “your”.

This website, the games available on it (the “Game” or “Games”) and the underlying software and hardware platform is wholly hosted in a secure data center in Nevada.

2.1          Free Play

This website and the Games offered herein, are made available to eligible customers on a free-to-play basis and customers may elect to purchase additional virtual credits for their convenience and at their discretion.   There is no distinction made in any game between freely issued virtual credits and those purchased for convenience.

2.2          No Prizes

The Games offer no monetary prizes or anything else that has independent marketable value.

2.3          Other Compliance

You may be awarded amounts of virtual currency or virtual goods (together referred to in these Terms and Conditions as “Virtual Credits”) which can be used in order to access and play the Games. You may elect to pay real money to acquire additional amounts of Virtual Credit in order to continue playing or commence playing one or more of the Games. Virtual Credits awarded to or purchased by you cannot be withdrawn, transferred, refunded or shared in any way. Furthermore, Virtual Credits cannot be translated into money and such Virtual Credits have no cash value.

You cannot win money or money’s worth from your use of the Games in any manner whatsoever and accordingly this website is not enabled for Internet gaming nor does this website offer real money Internet gaming in any form or format whatsoever.

Other than a limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Virtual Credits on the website, you hereby accept that you have no right or title in or to any such Virtual Credits and that we have the absolute right to manage, regulate, remove, control, modify and/or eliminate such Virtual Credits as we see fit and neither Station Casinos nor GAN shall have any liability to you and anyone for the exercise of such rights, except as may be required by any applicable law or regulation.

This website is not licensed or approved by or registered with the Nevada Gaming Commission for “real money” Online Gaming and is offered to you for amusement purposes only.

3.1          This website and participation in the activities on this website is restricted in certain circumstances. Participation in the activities and games is open only to residents of those jurisdictions where such participation is legal and not prohibited by law, including by way of age. Any Games that are made available to play online are additionally only open to individuals of legal age of majority only, in the jurisdiction in which you reside. You cannot play under any circumstances if you are not at least twenty one (21) years of age; minors may not play.   The website is for use within the United States by those 21 years old or older.  Any use by anyone else is prohibited and may result in (1) suspension of the account, (2) deletion of the account, or (3) voiding of any award of any Virtual Credits.

3.2          In order to avoid minors playing on this website, we reserve the right to carry out verification checks to verify the information provided by you. We may undertake a search with a third party for the purpose of verifying that you are 21 years or over. Where we are unable to verify that you are 21 years of age or over, we reserve the right to ask you for proof of age, satisfactory to Station Casinos in our sole discretion. If we are unable to confirm that you are aged 21 or over, then we will not be able to open an account for you until satisfactory proof of your age is provided.

3.3          With respect to players who reside outside the United States, you may not seek to register and/or open an account within this website and in the event you circumvent the technical blocking systems employed by Station Casinos, or its designees, to prevent access by residents of countries outside the United States your account will be subject to immediate closure and you will forfeit any and all Virtual Credits contained therein.

3.4          Station Casinos and its designees reserve the right to carry out local research and to check with local authorities if you fail to produce evidence of your identity within 30 days of a request by Station Casinos and in the event you fail to produce evidence of your identity we reserve the right to close your Account and cancel or expire or confiscate all Virtual Credits in your Account.

4.1          The Games found on this website are a mixture of:

    > Person-to-person or multi-player games; and

    > Single-player games.

4.2          You accept and recognize that the Games are provided for entertainment purposes only and do not afford opportunities to win prizes, money or other form of real currency or goods for any particular game outcome.

4.3         The Games offered on this website do not replicate the odds of winning or the payouts of similar games found in casinos or on licensed online gaming websites.  Therefore, any success with the Games does not imply further success in real money gambling.

5.1          After a one player Game begins, it will continue until:

    > you win;

    > you lose;

    > you resign; or

    > your connection is terminated for any reason or the game window is closed.

5.2          In the event of a multi-stage single-player game where there is still active play of Virtual Credits on the table, the Game state may be stored and resumed at a later date.

After a person-to-person Game begins, it will continue until:

    > you win;

    > you lose;

    > you resign; or

    > your connection is terminated for any reason in which case you will be deemed to have lost the Game if you cannot reconnect to the Game while it is still in progress (please see the terms of our disconnection policy as set out below). If you lose your connection certain Games will allow your session to resume and you will be able to login to the website, re-launch the Game and continue playing. If you do not re-connect to continue an interrupted Game within thirty (30) days your Virtual Credits for such interrupted Game will be deducted or forfeited to Station Casinos.

5.3          In the event that:

    > a disconnection occurs; or

    > you close the Game-lobby window (which closes all Game tables); or

    > you close the Game-table window,

your Game will be paused and your opponent notified of your disconnection. If you log back in and re-enter the Game lobby within two (2) minutes you will be given the opportunity to rejoin your Game table (the “Disconnect Protection”). If you do not reconnect within the two minute period your opponent will be deemed the winner and your Virtual Credits or Virtual Credit-liability will be deducted or forfeited.

5.4          Our software will attempt to detect whether there has been a genuine disconnection. If you try to claim Disconnect Protection by simply getting 'timed out', you will be deemed to have resigned from the Game. Disconnect Protection is not to be used for any purpose other than a genuine disconnection. Any intentional disconnections from the virtual Game lobby or virtual Game table may result in forfeiture or deductions of Virtual Credit winnings, or expulsion from the website.

5.5          In the unlikely event a real Game in progress is cancelled solely due to technical issues of our website, both players will be automatically refunded their Virtual Credit buy-ins, regardless of the players’ standing when the Game was stopped. We reserve the right to render final decisions on all matters concerning Game terminations or stoppages or other Game determination issues, at our sole discretion subject to any applicable laws and regulations. Refunds may be communicated via electronic mail or via the website.

We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion and without liability, to cancel or suspend a Game should a virus, bug, worm, communication or server failure occur or for any other reason we deem necessary.
