Welcome to Our Terms
These Terms of Service explain the rules and expectations for using The Hippo Spin. By accessing our platform, you're agreeing to follow these terms. We've tried to write them in plain language so they're actually readable!
If you don't agree with any part of these terms, please don't use The Hippo Spin. We update these terms occasionally, and continued use after updates means you accept the changes.
What The Hippo Spin Actually Is
Let's be crystal clear: The Hippo Spin is a free entertainment website. We provide casino-style games that use virtual credits only. This is not gambling in any legal or practical sense because:
- You never provide us with money or anything of value
- You cannot win money or anything of value
- The virtual credits in our games are meaningless outside the game context
- We don't sell credits, accept deposits, or process withdrawals
Everything on The Hippo Spin is completely free to access and use. Our business model is... well, honestly, we just wanted to create something fun. There's no catch, no hidden monetization, just free games for your enjoyment.
Who Can Use The Hippo Spin
Access to The Hippo Spin is limited to people who are at least 18 years old. This age restriction exists because casino-themed content, even when no money is involved, should be limited to adults who can understand the context.
By using our platform, you're confirming you meet this age requirement. Don't lie about your age—it's not cool, and it violates these terms.
You're also responsible for making sure that using The Hippo Spin is legal in your location. While we don't facilitate gambling, some jurisdictions have restrictions on casino-themed content even when it's purely recreational. We can't provide legal advice for your specific situation.
How to Behave Here
We expect users to act reasonably and respectfully. Specifically, you agree not to:
- Try to hack, exploit, or break our games or platform
- Use bots, scripts, or automation tools without permission
- Attempt to access parts of our system you're not supposed to access
- Use The Hippo Spin for any illegal purposes
- Try to reverse-engineer our game code or steal our content
Basically, use the site as intended: play the games, have fun, and don't be a jerk. It's not complicated.
Our Stuff (Intellectual Property)
Everything you see on The Hippo Spin—the design, the code, the text, the logos, the game implementations—is either owned by us or licensed to us. You're welcome to use The Hippo Spin, but you don't get ownership rights to any of our content.
Don't copy our site, steal our games, or reproduce our content without permission. If you want to use something from The Hippo Spin for a legitimate reason, reach out and ask nicely.
Service Availability (Or Lack Thereof)
We try to keep The Hippo Spin up and running all the time, but we can't guarantee 100% uptime. Servers crash, updates happen, weird internet things occur. We might need to take the site down for maintenance sometimes.
We also reserve the right to change, modify, or discontinue parts of The Hippo Spin at any time. It's a free service, so we can't be held liable if something stops working or changes in a way you don't like.
Disclaimers and Limitations
The Hippo Spin is provided "as is" without any warranties. We don't guarantee that our games will work perfectly on your specific device, that you'll never encounter bugs, or that your experience will be flawless.
We're not liable for any damages arising from your use (or inability to use) The Hippo Spin. Since our service is entirely free and involves no money whatsoever, the potential for damages is essentially zero anyway, but we need to say this for legal reasons.
If something goes wrong while you're using The Hippo Spin, the maximum amount we could possibly owe you is exactly $0, because that's what you paid to access the service.
Your Responsibilities
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold The Hippo Spin harmless from any claims or expenses that result from your use of our platform, especially if you violate these terms or do something illegal.
In simpler terms: if you do something wrong and someone tries to sue us because of it, you're taking responsibility for that mess.
Legal Stuff
These terms are governed by applicable laws. If there's a dispute that can't be resolved amicably, it'll be handled through proper legal channels.
If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest of the terms remain in effect.
Questions?
If something in these terms is unclear, we encourage you to think carefully about whether you're comfortable using The Hippo Spin. By continuing to use our platform, you're indicating that you understand and agree to these terms.
