The token booth
How free Marigold Tokens work
Everyone gets a float of 5,000 Marigold Tokens (MT) the first time they play. That is the only currency on the pier, and it stays free from the first spin to the last.
-
5,000 MT to start
Your float is ready as soon as you confirm you are 18 or over. There is no sign-up and no account to make.
-
Free refills, any time
Running low? Press Refill and you are back to 5,000 MT straight away. There is no waiting and no limit on refills.
-
Nothing to buy
There are no in-app purchases on Arcade Marigold. Tokens cannot be bought, and nobody here will ever ask for card details.
-
No cash value
Marigold Tokens cannot be exchanged, transferred or cashed in, and they are never swapped for money or prizes.
Keep it a day out
The best evenings on the pier end with chips on the sea wall, not with one more spin. Arcade Marigold has a reality-check reminder, a break lock for an hour, a day or a week, and a one-tap balance reset, all on our responsible play page.
If gambling of any kind is starting to worry you or someone close to you, the National Gambling Helpline is free on 0808 8020 133, day and night.
From the pier head
The story behind the lights
Every British pier has a moment, just before the bulbs come on, when the sea turns the colour of marmalade and the whole front glows. Arcade Marigold is built around that hour. We took the bits of a summer evening we liked best: the clunk of a three-reel fruit machine, a wheel ticking round, a striped deckchair and a postcard home. Then we made them into a small social casino you can play from the sofa.
The name comes from the pier itself: the long run of glass-roofed arches at the pier head where the lights were strung, and the marigolds planted in the beds along the prom every June. Everything here is free, everything is for fun, and nothing you collect is worth a penny once you step off the boards.
