Terms of Use

Welcome to Outback Empire (outbackempire.com). These Terms of Use govern your use of this website and the free social game Empire of Gold. By entering the site and playing, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please don't use the site.

1. Age requirement

Empire of Gold is intended for adults aged 18 years or over only, even though it involves no real money. By entering the site you confirm that you are at least 18 years old. We may ask you to confirm your age before you can play.

2. Free-to-play, for entertainment only

Empire of Gold is a free social game provided purely for entertainment. It simulates the look and feel of a slot game but is not gambling and does not offer any opportunity to win money or anything of value.

3. No payments or purchases

There is nothing to buy on this site. We do not accept deposits, process payments, or sell coins, credits or any in-game items. You will never be asked to pay to play.

4. No prizes and no real-money value

Any coins, points, scores or jackpots in Empire of Gold are virtual. They have no monetary value, cannot be redeemed, withdrawn, transferred or exchanged for cash or prizes, and exist only within the game for entertainment.

5. Not real-money gambling

This site does not offer real-money gambling, betting or wagering of any kind. Practising or succeeding at a free social game does not guarantee or improve success at any form of real-money gambling, which always carries risk. If gambling is affecting you, please see our Play Safe page.

6. Browser storage

To make the game work, we store a small amount of information in your browser — for example, your age confirmation, your storage preference and game settings such as sound. You can clear this at any time through your browser. See our Cookies & Storage page for details.

7. Acceptable use

You agree that you will not:

• use the site for any unlawful purpose;
• attempt to interfere with, disrupt or gain unauthorised access to the site or the game;
• copy, modify, distribute or reverse-engineer the site or the game except as permitted by law;
• misrepresent your age or use the site if you are under 18.

8. Intellectual property

The Outback Empire name, logo, artwork, text and the Empire of Gold game are protected by intellectual property rights and remain the property of their respective owners. You may enjoy the game for personal, non-commercial entertainment only.

9. Disclaimer

The site and game are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components, and we may change, suspend or withdraw the game at any time.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Outback Empire will not be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site or the game. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. The current version will always be available on this page, and your continued use of the site means you accept any changes.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Australia, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Australia.
