Terms of use

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using Pragmatic Archive (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Site.

These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Site's operators regarding your use of the Site and supersede any prior agreements.

2. Nature of the site

Pragmatic Archive is an independent, informational website covering the iGaming content provider Pragmatic Play. The Site provides reviews, historical information, mathematical explanations, interactive educational tools (simulator, calculator), and editorial commentary.

The Site does not:

• Operate a casino or accept wagers of any kind
• Offer gambling services, real-money games, or financial transactions
• Receive commission or affiliate revenue from any operator or game provider
• Hold any affiliation, sponsorship, or commercial relationship with Pragmatic Play Limited

3. Eligibility

The Site is intended for adult audiences only. You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to use this Site. By using the Site you represent that you meet this age requirement.

If you believe that a person under 18 has accessed the Site in a way that warrants action, please contact us.

4. Permitted use

You may use the Site for personal, non-commercial, informational purposes. You may share individual pages on social media, link to us from other websites, and quote short excerpts with attribution.

Educators, journalists, and researchers may reproduce small portions of the Site in academic work, news coverage, or research papers with appropriate citation.

5. Prohibited use

When using the Site, you agree not to:

• Copy, scrape, or republish substantial portions of the Site's content without written permission
• Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, crawlers) other than standard search-engine crawlers that respect robots.txt
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site's infrastructure, probe for vulnerabilities, or interfere with normal operation
• Use the Site in any way that violates applicable law, including gambling laws in your jurisdiction
• Frame, mirror, or otherwise reproduce the Site in a way that misrepresents authorship
• Use the Site, or any information from it, to promote gambling to minors or vulnerable persons

6. Intellectual property

All original content on this Site — including text, editorial commentary, tool implementations, layout, typography, design, and source code — is copyright of the Site's operators unless otherwise noted.

You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our original content without express written permission, except as allowed by fair-use / fair-dealing provisions of the copyright law applicable to you.

7. Trademarks

"Pragmatic Play" and all associated slot titles, logos, brand elements, and product names referenced on this Site — including but not limited to Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Wolf Gold, Big Bass Bonanza, and Megaways™ — are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective owners.

We reference these trademarks for the purposes of identification and editorial commentary only, under the principle of nominative fair use. No endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation with the trademark owners is claimed or implied.

8. Content accuracy

We make reasonable efforts to ensure the information on this Site is accurate and up to date. However, the iGaming industry moves quickly — RTP values, licence jurisdictions, available features, release dates, and regulatory status change frequently. We make no warranty that any specific fact is current at the moment you read it.

Before making any decision based on information from this Site, verify critical details directly with the relevant operator, the studio, or the applicable regulator. See our editorial policy for how we source and review content.

9. No professional advice

Content on this Site is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It is not, and should not be treated as:

• Financial advice — RTP, variance, and expected-value figures describe long-run averages across millions of spins, not what will happen in your session. Do not use this Site as the basis for financial decisions.
• Legal advice — references to gambling regulation in the UK, EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere are general descriptions, not legal opinions. If the legality of a specific activity matters to you, consult a qualified lawyer in your jurisdiction.
• Medical or mental-health advice — our responsible gambling page offers general, plain-language information about gambling harm. It is not a substitute for professional diagnosis or treatment. If you are struggling, please contact a qualified clinician or one of the helplines we list.

10. Third-party links

The Site contains links to external websites, including helplines, regulator websites, and the official Pragmatic Play website. We do not control these sites and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or availability.

A link from this Site does not constitute endorsement of the linked site. Use third-party sites at your own risk, and review their own terms and privacy policies.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, reliability, non-infringement, and uninterrupted availability.

We do not warrant that the Site will be error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the Site or its servers are free of viruses or other harmful components.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Site's operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to gambling losses, loss of profits, loss of data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with your use of — or inability to use — the Site.

This includes any losses you may incur from gambling on third-party platforms, whether or not you discovered those platforms through information on this Site. Gambling losses are your own responsibility. The Site is informational and does not accept, process, or facilitate wagers.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so portions of this limitation may not apply to you. In such cases our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Site's operators from any claims, damages, losses, costs, or expenses arising out of your breach of these terms or your misuse of the Site.

14. Changes to terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time to reflect changes in the Site's functionality or applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when the most recent change was made. Material changes will be flagged on the home page. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

15. Termination

We reserve the right to block access to the Site, at our sole discretion and without notice, to any user or automated agent that breaches these terms or whose traffic patterns suggest abuse, scraping, or threat to the Site's availability.

16. Governing law

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Site's operators are established, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or your use of the Site shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation and, if necessary, in the competent courts of that jurisdiction.

Nothing in these terms affects consumer-protection rights you may have under the mandatory law of your country of residence, including rights under UK-GDPR, EU GDPR, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (UK), the Consumer Rights Directive (EU), or equivalent legislation in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

17. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found by a competent court to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision in these terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
