Four fields, about twenty seconds, and 100,000 canal coins come aboard.
Lockkeeper Canal is a free-to-play social casino: three original slot-style locks on one English canal, played with virtual coins, and Paddlegear Lock is open to play without signing up. No real-money gambling, no wins with real-world value, no in-app purchases. Your licence simply keeps your coins, level and daily missions together, filed under your name.
| Field on the licence | Why the lock cottage asks |
|---|---|
| Nickname | The name Jory chalks on the lock board. Choose any; it need not be your real one. |
| Email address | How we recognise your account at log-in. Never used for marketing. |
| Password | Held only as a one-way hash. Nobody here can read it. |
| 18+ tick | The games look and sound like gambling, so the canal is adults only. |
Real name, date of birth, address, phone number, payment details: none of them, ever. The canal has no payment page that could use them.

18 or over? Then Lockkeeper Canal is for you; younger, it is not. Every game here runs on virtual coins with no monetary value. They cannot be bought, sold, withdrawn or exchanged. No coin shop. No payment page. No prizes of real-world value. And success here does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
