The Virtual Credit System
Credits are the only currency in the Hollow, and they are made entirely of play. Here is exactly how they work — and why they will never be worth a single franc.
What virtual credits are
Virtual credits are points used to play the games at Silver Hollow Way. They let you spin Frostline Reels and take a seat at the Hollow Blackjack Table without spending anything. They are a scorekeeping device and a source of fun — nothing more. They are not money, not tokens, not a deposit and not a balance you can ever cash out.
Starting with 1,000
Every visitor arrives with 1,000 free credits, loaded automatically the moment you enter. There is no account to create, no card to enter and no form to fill. Your balance lives in your browser's session storage and travels with you across the site, appearing in the header and beside each game.
Spending and winning
When you stake credits on a game, that amount leaves your balance. When a round goes your way, credits are returned to your balance according to the game's ordinary rules. It all happens inside the games — there is no external wallet, no ledger of real value and no transfer of anything beyond points on a screen.
Topping up — always free
Running low is never a problem. The Free top-up button refills your balance at no cost, as often as you like:
- If your balance falls below 100 credits, a top-up resets you to a fresh 1,000.
- Otherwise, a top-up adds 500 credits to whatever you already hold.
Because top-ups are free and unlimited, there is never any reason — or any way — to pay for credits.
What credits can never do
- They cannot be purchased with real money.
- They cannot be withdrawn, redeemed or exchanged for cash.
- They cannot be transferred to another person or platform.
- They carry no monetary value and never represent a prize.
Credits exist to keep score and keep things fun. Their only value is the next round of play — and that is exactly how a social casino should work.
