Play for Free and Play for Real: Important Information
2.1 What is the difference between Play for Free and Play for Real?
The main difference between these two ways of playing is that when you Play for Free you will play with ‘pretend’ money, which cannot be cashed in or redeemed for money. You also do not need to deposit any money before you can play. You will be given 1,000 play chips when you first open an Account and these will be yours to play with as you wish.
If you Play for Real then you need to deposit money into your account through the Cashier. You will play then using your own money and any losses or winnings that you make will either be taken out of your account, or winnings paid in. Any funds you have in your account may be withdrawn at any point. You must be over 18 to Play for Real.
2.2 Can I switch from Play for Free and Play for Real with the one PartyAccount?
Yes, you can only have one PartyAccount, so that can be used for either Play for Free or Play for Real and you can change between them at any point. All you have to do is open a PartyAccount and you can then choose whether to Play for Free or for Real. Every time that you start a game, you can choose whether you play for Free or for Real.
When you are playing for Real and you want to change to for Free, then all you have to do is close the game, then re-open it, choosing the Play for Free option. Or you can just open another game window.
2.3 Is the same software used for Play for Free and Play for Real?
Yes the technology and software behind both these options are the same. They both use the same rules and random number generator. This means that they will both produce the same odds and the same probabilities of winning, so there is no difference between them, apart from not winning real money.
In the Play for Free mode, you will not have access to all the games, but for a detailed guide as to which games are available, please check out our Game Instructions & Rules chart.
2.4 What happens when my Play for Free chips run out?
When you have used all your Play for Free chips, it is possible to have some more deposited to your account. When your chips run out, a pop up will come up on the window which will tell you that you are out of chips. If you click on ‘Add Play Money’ then more chips will be placed in your account. So you can carry on having fun!
