Terms of Use
Who these terms are with
These terms of use are an agreement between you (the visitor) and Walker Media Limited, 143 Queen Street, Auckland 1010, New Zealand — the operator of RataPlay (rata-play.com). Where these terms say "we", "us" or "our", we mean Walker Media Limited.
When you use RataPlay, you agree to these terms of use. Read them carefully before continuing. If you don't accept them, please don't use the site.
1. Purpose of the site
RataPlay offers free social casino gaming with four browser-based titles using virtual chips. No real money is involved, and you cannot win or lose actual funds. The platform exists purely for entertainment and relaxation, not as a gambling service.
2. Age requirement
Site access is limited to people aged 18 or over. By using RataPlay, you confirm you meet this age requirement. If a parent or guardian discovers a minor accessing the site, please intervene and contact us.
3. Virtual chips
I need to see the original paragraph to rewrite it. You've provided instructions but the text after "ORIGINAL:" appears incomplete. Could you please paste the full paragraph you'd like me to rewrite? Once I have it, I'll deliver a 19–26 word version in en-NZ English, preserving all facts and proper nouns, with only word choice and sentence structure varied.
- exchange chips for money, gift cards, goods or services;
- transfer chips to another person;
- make a claim based on chips or virtual wins.
Chip balances automatically reset to one thousand at the start of each session; progress does not carry between sessions.
4. Intellectual property
RataPlay and its licensors retain ownership of all site content, including text, images, code, game simulators and associated materials. Copyright and intellectual property protections apply throughout. Unauthorised copying, modification, commercial use or distribution is prohibited.
You may view content for personal, non-commercial use and share links to the site’s public pages.
5. Your obligations
When using the site you agree to:
- comply with New Zealand law and these terms of use;
- not use the site for fraudulent or unlawful purposes;
- not attempt to penetrate or disrupt the site’s systems;
- not use automated tools (bots, scrapers) on the site without our permission.
6. Changes to the content
We may alter, supplement, or delete site content at any point without advance notification. These terms apply likewise: modifications take effect once published here. The current revision date appears on every page.
7. Availability
We strive to keep RataPlay accessible around the clock, though uninterrupted service cannot be guaranteed. Maintenance, technical problems or unforeseen events may cause temporary unavailability. We accept no liability for losses arising from any service interruption.
8. Limitation of liability
RataPlay offers this site as-is, without guaranteeing error-free or uninterrupted service. Your use occurs at your own risk. We disclaim liability for indirect, incidental or consequential damages from site use — including data loss or business interruption.
This limitation does not restrict mandatory rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986.
9. Privacy
Your personal information is managed according to our separate privacy policy. By using this site, you accept those privacy terms.
10. Cookies
The site uses cookies to operate. Read more on the cookie policy page.
11. External links
RataPlay provides links to third-party resources including Gambling Helpline NZ and Safer Gambling Aotearoa, but accepts no liability for their content, practices or availability. These sites operate independently under their own terms.
12. Governing law and disputes
New Zealand law applies to these terms and your use of RataPlay. Disputes are first resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, the matter goes to the District Court of New Zealand.
Consumers may bring disputes before the Disputes Tribunal (disputestribunal.govt.nz). For consumer advice, contact Consumer Protection at the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (consumerprotection.govt.nz).
13. Responsible play
Although no real money is played on the site, we encourage responsible play in every situation. Read more on the responsible play page. If you or someone close to you has concerns about gambling, contact Gambling Helpline NZ on 0800 654 655 (free, 24/7).
