Three workshops of our own making, the regatta open to all from the outset, and no catch tucked in any fold.
A social casino without any charge: original slot-style games folded for the wharf and played with virtual coins. Spin, rise through the levels and see missions through by all means; staking money, winning money or buying something is impossible here.
| Creasewater Wharf | Gambling with actual money | |
|---|---|---|
| What you stake | Paper coins, handed out free | Your money |
| What you can win | Paper coins of no value | Cash |
| In-app purchases | None | Deposits |
| Account | Free: a nickname, email and password creased on a tag | Sign-up, then checks on identity and address |
| The price of untying | A single press removes it all | Checks and rules on withdrawing winnings |
Since nothing of any value is ever staked or won, Creasewater Wharf does not offer gambling under the Gambling Act 2005; the 18+ requirement is kept regardless.
On Creasewater Wharf the towpath is for those aged 18 or over. Each regatta, alcove and kiln runs on virtual coins with no monetary value, which nobody can buy, sell, withdraw or exchange. You will not find a cashier’s hatch, a payment page or a prize of real-world value anywhere along the canal, and a fine afternoon at the regatta does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
