Terms of use

1. Who we are

Carthoryn (carthoryn.co.uk) is a free website of six original casino-style games. In these terms, "we" and "us" mean Carthoryn and "you" means anyone using the site. You can reach us at hello@carthoryn.co.uk.

2. Adults only

Carthoryn is for people aged 18 and over. By using the site you confirm that you are 18 or older. If you are under 18, please leave the site now. We ask your age on your first visit in each browser and keep the site closed after an answer of under 18.

3. Entertainment only, no real money

The games are for entertainment only. There is no real money play on Carthoryn: you cannot stake, deposit or receive money, and there are no prizes of monetary value.

Playing or success in these games does not imply future success at real-money gambling.

4. Ink

The games use ink, a play unit with no cash value. Ink is given free when you first play and topped up for free when it runs low. Ink cannot be bought, sold, exchanged, transferred, redeemed or cashed in for anything, inside or outside Carthoryn.

Your ink and logbook live in your browser. If you clear your browser data, choose Reject in the storage panel or use another device, they will not be there. We cannot restore them, because we never receive them.

5. No purchases

There are no in-app purchases on Carthoryn and nothing is for sale: no ink, no extras, no subscriptions and no advertising placements. If anyone offers to sell you ink or anything connected with Carthoryn, it is not from us.

6. Fair play and the games

Each game's rules and returns are printed in full on its page. Results come from your browser's random number generator and the rules shown. We may change a game, its rules or its returns at any time; the page will always show the version in use.

Please do not try to interfere with the games or the site, for example by altering scripts or stored data to change results, sending automated traffic or attempting to access parts of the site that are not public.

7. Looking after yourself

Base Camp offers check-ins, round caps, pauses and calm mode. These tools work only in the browser where you set them. If gambling or gaming is causing you harm, please contact the free services listed at the foot of every page, such as the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133.

8. Our content

The games, names, words, pictures and code on Carthoryn belong to us. You may play the games and share links to the site. Please do not copy, republish or sell our content without written permission.

9. Availability and liability

We provide Carthoryn free of charge and as it is. We try to keep it running and correct, but we do not promise that it will always be available or free of errors.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under the law of England and Wales, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Otherwise, because the site is free and ink has no value, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of the site.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top of this page shows when they last changed. If you keep using the site after a change, the new terms apply.

11. Law and courts

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in your local courts.
