Frequently asked questions
The questions people ask us most, answered as plainly as we can manage. If yours is missing, write to hello@luckyfigclub.com and we will add it.
The club and Fig Coins
What exactly is Lucky Fig Club?
A free social casino for adults in the UK. We have five casino games of our own, from a three-reel slot to video poker, all played with Fig Coins, a free virtual currency. It is there to be enjoyed for its own sake; nothing you do here earns or costs real money.
Is it really free?
Yes, completely. You start with 5,000 Fig Coins and can refill to 5,000 whenever your balance dips. There is no subscription, no trial period and nothing waiting behind a paywall.
Can I buy Fig Coins or anything else?
No. There are no in-app purchases, no shop and no paid extras. We never ask for card or bank details, and if you ever see a page claiming to sell Fig Coins, it isn’t us.
Can Fig Coins ever be cashed in?
No. Fig Coins have no cash value and cannot be exchanged, withdrawn or swapped for goods, vouchers or anything else. Lucky Fig Club does not offer real-money gambling and there are no prizes of any kind.
Can I send Fig Coins to a friend?
No. Your balance lives only in your own browser and can’t be transferred to anybody, but your friend gets their own 5,000 the moment they arrive.
What happens when I run out?
Press “Refill to 5,000 free” at the top of any game. Your balance goes straight back to 5,000, as many times as you like.
Age, safety and your data
Who is allowed to play?
Adults aged 18 and over who live in the UK. The first time you play, the game asks you to confirm your age. If you are under 18, please don’t use the site; the games stay closed for that visit if you tell us so.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no registration, no email address and no password. Everything the games need is kept in your browser’s local storage on your own device.
What do you know about me?
Very little. Your balance and settings never leave your device. Our hosting provider keeps short-lived technical logs, such as IP addresses, to keep the site running and secure, and if you email us we keep that conversation. Our privacy notice has the detail.
How do I take a break?
Visit the responsible play page and choose one hour, 24 hours or seven days. Every game on this device stays closed until the break ends. You can also set a reality-check reminder there.
I’m worried about my gambling elsewhere. Who can help?
The National Gambling Helpline, run by GamCare for BeGambleAware, is free and open day and night on 0808 8020 133. GamStop lets you block yourself from UK gambling sites, and Gambling Therapy offers online support. Links to all of them are at the bottom of every page.
The games
Are the games fair?
Every outcome is decided at random by your browser at the moment you play, using its built-in random number generator. We do not tilt results to keep you playing, and nothing that happened earlier changes what happens next.
Is there a strategy that beats the games?
No. Like their real-world cousins, our games keep a small built-in edge, and no system changes that over time. Choices matter in Potting Shed Poker, but only for the hand in front of you. Play for the fun of it.
Why did my balance reset?
Your balance is stored in your browser. Clearing site data or cookies, using a private window or switching to another device or browser will start you again at 5,000. Nothing is lost, because nothing of value was ever there.
Do the games work on my phone?
Yes. Every game is built to fit a phone screen, and the roulette table turns on its side so the numbers are easy to tap. Any up-to-date browser will do; there is nothing to download.
Is Lucky Fig Club licensed by the Gambling Commission?
No, because it doesn’t need to be. Nothing of value is staked or paid out here, so Lucky Fig Club is not a gambling service; real-money gambling in Britain is regulated by the Gambling Commission.
