Last updated: June 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using ArcadeSkill at arcadeskill.com (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use this Service, create an account, or enter any competition. By using the Service you confirm that you meet this requirement.
The Service is intended for users in the United Kingdom. Users outside the UK may access the Service but competitions and prizes are currently only available to UK residents.
3. Accounts
You may create an account using Google Sign-In. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account. You must not share your account with others or use another person's account.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, engage in cheating or fraudulent behaviour, or attempt to manipulate leaderboards or competitions.
4. Games and Scoring
All games on ArcadeSkill are skill-based. Scores are determined entirely by player performance — there is no element of chance in determining game outcomes or winners.
We implement anti-cheat measures to ensure fair play. Any attempt to manipulate scores, use automated tools, or otherwise cheat will result in immediate account termination and disqualification from all competitions.
We reserve the right to remove scores that we believe are fraudulent or obtained through illegitimate means.
5. Competitions and Prizes
ArcadeSkill operates free-to-enter weekly competitions. These are skill-based prize competitions and do not constitute gambling under the Gambling Act 2005, as winners are determined entirely by skill with no element of chance.
The following rules apply to all competitions:
- Entry is free — no purchase is necessary to enter or win
- The winner is the player with the highest (or lowest, for time-based games) verified score during the competition period
- In the event of a tie, the prize will be awarded to the player who achieved the score first
- Winners will be contacted by email within 7 days of the competition ending
- Prizes must be claimed within 28 days of notification or will be forfeited
- Prizes are non-transferable and no cash alternative is available
- Employees of ArcadeSkill and their immediate family members are not eligible to win
- We reserve the right to cancel or modify competitions at any time
- Our decisions regarding competition outcomes are final
Prize values and descriptions will be clearly stated on the competition page before the competition begins. Prizes are funded by advertising revenue and are subject to availability.
