Australian Legal & Privacy Information

This page sets out how Spinzy Club works for players in Australia: why it is not a gambling service, the consumer rights you keep regardless of what our Terms say, how we handle personal information, and where to get free help if gaming stops being fun.

1. We are not a gambling service

Spinzy Club is a free-to-play social gaming site. Nothing on it can be staked and nothing can be won. Virtual credits are awarded free, have no monetary value, cannot be purchased, sold, transferred or exchanged, and can never be redeemed for money, goods or any other benefit.

Under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth), a “gambling service” turns on two things: a game played for money or anything else of value, and customers giving consideration in order to play. Neither applies here. You give us nothing to play, nothing of value is ever staked, and nothing of value can be won. On that basis we consider that we do not provide a regulated interactive gambling service, and we hold no gambling licence in any Australian state or territory.

This is our considered position, not legal advice, and it is not an endorsement from any regulator. If you are evaluating the service in a professional capacity, please get in touch.

2. Your Australian Consumer Law rights

Our Terms of Service limit our liability, but those limits stop where Australian law says they must. Nothing in our Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) that cannot lawfully be excluded. Those guarantees sit above our Terms: where the two conflict, the Australian Consumer Law wins.

3. Advertising and the Spam Act

We do not operate a marketing mailing list, and we do not send promotional email. If we ever do, it will be with your consent, it will identify us, and every message will carry a working unsubscribe link — as the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) requires.

We do advertise through Google Ads. Measurement of that advertising only runs if you accept it on our cookie banner; decline and nothing is sent to Google. You can change your choice at any time with the control in the footer.

4. Personal information

We collect very little: server logs, your display name and email if you create a free account (which stays in your own browser, not on our servers), and whatever you put in a message to us. We never sell personal information and we build no profiles of our own. The one overseas disclosure is to Google, for the advertising measurement described above, and only where you have given consent — our privacy notice sets out the detail.

A small business operator with an annual turnover of $3 million or less is generally not an “APP entity” bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), and that exemption may well cover us. We are not relying on it. As a voluntary commitment, we handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles anyway — so you may ask us for access to the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct it, by writing to privacy@spinzyclub.com, and we will respond within 30 days.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal information, tell us first so we can try to put it right. Depending on whether the Act binds us, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) may also be able to consider a complaint; we will not obstruct one, and we will co-operate with any enquiry the OAIC makes.

5. Classification of simulated gambling

Since 22 September 2024, the Guidelines for the Classification of Computer Games 2023 have set a mandatory minimum R 18+ classification for computer games containing simulated gambling, and a minimum M classification for games with paid chance-based purchases. We sell nothing, so the second does not arise.

Whether a free, browser-based site such as this one falls within the classification scheme for computer games is not settled, and we are taking advice on it. In the meantime we have chosen the conservative route: our site-wide 21+ rule is stricter than the R 18+ minimum, we state the age requirement on every page, and we do not market to anyone below it.

6. Eligibility

Spinzy Club is open to adults aged 21 and over who reside in Canada (excluding the provinces of Quebec and Ontario), Germany or Australia. We do not offer the service to residents of any other territory, and access from excluded territories is not permitted.

Australian law generally treats 18 as the adult threshold for gambling-style content. We apply a stricter 21+ rule across the whole site so that one standard covers every territory we serve.

7. If gaming stops being fun

Our games involve no money, but they borrow the look and rhythm of gambling, and that can sit badly with some people. Free, confidential help is available across Australia, 24 hours a day:

National Gambling Helpline — 1800 858 858. Free, confidential and staffed around the clock, for you or for someone you are worried about.
Gambling Help Online — online counselling, self-help programs and forums.

Our Responsible Play page has practical habits for keeping sessions balanced, wherever you are.

8. Who operates this site

Spinzy Club is operated by a sole operator who has not yet incorporated a company. We are not hiding behind that: a registered legal name and address will be published here and on our imprint page as soon as the operating entity exists. Until then the monitored contact points below are the way to reach a real person, and we answer them.
