Welcome to the Luxodd Games Arcade platform. These Terms and Conditions govern all use of our arcade cabinets, including standard Pay-to-Play ("P2P") games and the Strategic Betting™ feature. By tapping a card, scanning a QR code, or creating a Player Profile, you agree to these Terms.
I. General Terms of Use (Pay-to-Play and All Games)
1. Acceptance of Terms and Player Profile
Agreement: Your use of the Luxodd Games platform constitutes a full and binding agreement to these Terms.
Player Profile: A Player Profile is required to access any game or feature. This profile tracks your game progress, virtual currency, and play history. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your profile (including your PIN and login credentials).
Age Restriction: All users must adhere to the age restrictions set by the venue and applicable law. Players under the age of 18 may be restricted from certain features, including Strategic Betting™ as detailed below.
2. Fees and Payments
Payment Method: All payments are processed through the integrated POS system (Cardknox/Sola) and may involve credit/debit card transactions.
Play Fee: All games, including those featuring Strategic Betting™, require a base Pay-to-Play (P2P) fee to start a session.
Billing: By initiating a play session, you authorize the charge of the P2P fee and any subsequent purchases (e.g., in-game marketplace items or Strategic Wagers).
Refunds for Failure: In the event of a Technical Failure (e.g., connection drop, server timeout, or unrecoverable error) that ends your game session prematurely, your session fee and any active wagers will be automatically returned to your Player Profile balance. No refunds will be issued for losses incurred through normal gameplay, non-technical player errors, or voluntary end of a session.
3. Game Content and Updates
Game Library: Luxodd arcades feature a dynamic library of games that can be downloaded and updated instantly. The game selection may change at any time without prior notice.
Developer Content: Games are provided by both Luxodd and third-party developers. Luxodd is not responsible for the content, quality, or functional integrity of any third-party game.
IP Rights: All intellectual property rights for the games remain with the respective developers and/or Luxodd Games. You are granted a limited license to play the games as provided on the cabinet.
II. Strategic Betting™ Addendum (Skill-Based Wagers)
The Strategic Betting™ system is a skill-based, competitive feature, not a game of chance. By participating, you acknowledge and agree to the following unique conditions:
1. Skill vs. Chance
Skill-Based Only: All outcomes in Strategic Betting™ are determined exclusively by the player's skill, strategy, timing, and execution. There is no Random Number Generation (RNG) or element of luck that determines the outcome of a wager.
No House Edge on Wagers: The system operates without a traditional "house edge" on the game mechanics. Your ability to win a payout is based purely on successfully meeting the stated, quantifiable in-game objectives.
Defined Objectives: Bets are placed on the ability to complete a specific, pre-defined Primary Objective or selected Alternative Objectives (e.g., "Defeat the level boss without dying" or "Kill 5 enemies in 5 seconds").
2. Wager Mechanics and Payouts
Placing a Wager: A wager is a dedicated stake you place on your ability to complete one or more mission objectives. The amount of the wager and the potential Payout Ratio are displayed before you confirm your bet.
Prizing Pool Management: All wagers are held in a secure, time-based financial system (Active Pool, Reserve Pool) to ensure the sustainable management of payouts. Payouts for successful wagers are instantly credited to the player's digital balance.
Forfeiture: If you fail to meet the objective(s) you wagered on, the staked credits for those specific objectives are forfeited.
Adjustable Hardness: Luxodd and the Merchant may dynamically or statically adjust the game's Hardness. This affects the difficulty of the challenge and, consequently, the potential Payout Ratio. You accept that game difficulty is subject to change at the operator's discretion for balancing purposes.
3. Safeguards and Limits
No "Chasing Losses": The system prohibits in-game retry wagering or adding additional wagers within a single, active Strategic Betting™ session.
Operator Limits (Guardrails): The Merchant/Luxodd maintains the right to set configurable limits on:
- Maximum wager size.
- Wager frequency/cooldowns.
- Overall account spending.
Minors/Parental Controls: Merchants may implement Parental Control features that prevent minors from accessing the Strategic Betting™ feature or restrict their total spend.
III. Merchant and Game Developer Release
By playing on this cabinet, you acknowledge that the Venue Operator (Merchant) is an independent business entity and is not a subsidiary or agent of Luxodd Games. You release Luxodd Games from any liability for actions taken by the Merchant, including, but not limited to, the management of in-venue promotions, the setting of prices, or the operational status of the cabinet.
