How It Works

Sun Thicket is a free-to-play social gaming site made purely for entertainment. Everything on the site runs on virtual coins that have no real-world or cash value and can never be bought, sold, redeemed or withdrawn.

Getting started

There is no sign-up required to play. The first time you visit, you confirm you are 18 or over, and you are given a starting balance of free virtual coins so you can jump straight into the games.

Playing a game

Your coin balance

Your balance is saved in your own browser (local storage), so it is remembered on your device between visits. If your balance ever runs low, it tops up automatically — you will never be asked to pay, deposit, or buy more coins.

Fair play

Game outcomes are generated randomly on each round. Because there is no money and no prize involved, the games are for amusement only.

Important

Sun Thicket does not offer gambling and is not a gambling service. Playing social games here does not involve real money and is not an indicator of any future success in real-money gambling. You must be 18 or over to play. Please play responsibly — see our Responsible Play section for free support in New Zealand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it cost anything to play?

No. Sun Thicket is completely free. There is nothing to buy and no in-app purchases of any kind.

Can I win real money or prizes?

No. There are no prizes, no jackpots with cash value, and no cash-outs. All coins are virtual and have no monetary value.

Do I need to create an account?

No account or registration is needed. You can start playing straight away once you confirm you are 18 or over.

Who is allowed to play?

You must be 18 years or older. The site is intended for an adult audience in New Zealand and is for entertainment only.

What happens when I run out of coins?

Your virtual balance tops up automatically when it gets low, so you can keep playing for free. You are never asked to pay.

Where is my balance stored?

Your coin balance and preferences are stored locally in your browser on your device. Clearing your browser data will reset them.

Which games are available?

Storm Spinner (slots), Kiwi Blackjack and the Fortune Wheel, with more added over time. You can switch between them inside the game window.

Is this gambling?

No. No real money is wagered and nothing of value can be won. Social games are not gambling and are not a path to real-money gambling.

Terms of Use

Last updated: 2026. Please read these Terms of Use carefully. By accessing or using Sun Thicket at sunthicket.com (the “Site”) you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. About the Site

Sun Thicket is a free-to-play social gaming site provided for entertainment only. The Site offers social games that use virtual coins. It is not a gambling product or service.

3. No real money and no prizes

All play uses virtual coins that have no monetary value. No real money is wagered or required, no prizes or winnings of any kind are awarded, and virtual coins cannot be purchased, sold, transferred, exchanged or redeemed for cash or anything of value. Nothing on the Site constitutes gambling, betting or a game of chance for money.

4. Virtual coins

Virtual coins are a feature of the Site licensed to you for personal, non-commercial entertainment use only. You do not own them, they are not your property, and we may adjust, reset or remove balances at any time. They have no cash value and are non-refundable because they are never sold.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sun Thicket is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site. Nothing in these terms limits rights you may have under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 where it applies.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand, and the New Zealand courts have jurisdiction over any dispute.

Responsible Play

Sun Thicket is designed to be fun. There is no real money involved and nothing of value can be won or lost — but social games can still become time-consuming or habit-forming for some people. We want everyone to enjoy the Site in a healthy, balanced way.

Play for the right reasons

Signs to watch for

It may be time to step back if you find yourself spending more time than intended, feeling irritable when not playing, or letting the Site interfere with sleep, work, study or relationships.

Taking a break

You are always free to close the Site and stop. Because no money is involved, there is nothing to settle. Clearing your browser data will reset your balance and progress at any time.

A note on real-money gambling

Social games are not gambling and success here does not imply any future success at real-money gambling. If you choose to gamble for money elsewhere, please do so carefully and within your means.
