Four fields, perhaps twenty seconds, and 100,000 coins tucked into the tag.
Creasewater Wharf is a social casino that costs nothing: three original slot-style workshops on a paper canal, played with virtual coins, and Bowfold Regatta races without any sign-up. The wharf has no real-money gambling, no win of real-world value and no in-app purchases. The account holds your coins, level and daily missions in one bundle, tied with your nickname.
| Field on the tag | What Ottoline uses it for |
|---|---|
| Nickname | The name the wharf will use for you. Any you please; it need not be your own. |
| Email address | Lets the wharf recognise your tag when you come back. It is never used for marketing mail. |
| Password | Folded into a one-way hash before it is kept, so nobody at the wharf can read it. |
| 18+ tick | Our workshops have the look and sound of gambling, so the wharf admits adults only. |
Neither your real name nor your date of birth, address, telephone number or any payment detail is requested. The wharf has no payment page on which they could be used.

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.
