Nothing here costs money, yet habits of play are real, and this page sets out how the orangery deals with them.
If gambling is harming you tonight, the National Gambling Helpline is free on 0808 8020 133, night or day, and GamCare offers online chat.
Social casino games borrow the look, sound and rhythm of real gambling. Orangery After Dark is therefore intended only for adults over the legal gambling age and is not directed at anyone under 18. Your age is confirmed on two occasions: first by the banner at the door, then by a tick when an account is opened.
Free games are easily tuned to feel kind, and this one refills your balance without charge. Games played for real money do neither. A lucky night in the orangery tells you nothing about playing with money at stake.

Orangery After Dark lets in adults aged 18 or over, and nobody younger. Every glasshouse plays on virtual coins of no monetary value, coins that can never be bought, sold, withdrawn or exchanged. Nowhere in the orangery will you find a counter selling coins or a payment page; no prize of real-world value is offered; and success here does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
