Will there be an official app?
That's the plan. We're working on it. For now, the home screen shortcut is the real deal: it plays exactly like an app, and when a proper App Store release lands, you'll hear about it here first.

27-0 is a free browser game available at castgames.com.au/27-0/, made by The Cast Patrol. We collect very little personal data, accounts are optional, and we do not sell your data.
Analytics We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how the game is played, including pages viewed, device and browser type, approximate location, and in-game interactions (for example games started, seasons completed, share card opens). This data is collected automatically when you use the site. You can opt out at any time using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising Our games don’t show ads. If that ever changes, we’ll update this policy first.
Playing as a Guest If you play without an account, we do not collect your name, email or any personally identifiable information. Your game history is saved in your own browser only. If you send us a message, see Contact Us and Bug Reports below. The one exception: after your first finished game, that game’s score and team (with no name or account) are sent once so we can show where it would rank on today’s leaderboard. We don’t keep it.
CAST Games Accounts (Optional) You can create a free CAST Games account to back up your game history and see your stats across 27-0 and other Cast games. Accounts are optional and are for people aged 13 and over. You sign in with Google or Apple, and we never see or store your password.
What We Store Your email address and a unique account ID from your sign-in provider (your email is held by our sign-in service, not stored with your game data, and only shared with our email provider if you opt in to emails; with Apple you can hide your real email). Your date of birth, used to confirm you are 13 or over and to keep betting advertising and partner offers away from anyone under 18. It is private to you and never shown publicly. Your email choice and when you made it. One opt-in covers CAST Games news and offers from our partners and sponsors (which can include betting partners); partner offers are only ever sent to adults 18+, so under-18s who opt in get CAST Games news only. Your favourite NRL team (or no team), your country, and your state if you are in Australia, which you give when you sign up and which place you on the club, country and state leaderboards. Your optional fan profile answers (gender, and whether you listen to The Cast Patrol podcast). Your game history and stats for each Cast game you play while signed in (for example mode, score, result and the players you picked), including games played on the same device before signing in.
Where It Is Stored and Who Can See It Accounts use Google Firebase (Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore), with game data stored in Google’s Sydney, Australia region. Google processes this data on our behalf. Only you can see your data, apart from the leaderboard details below: our database rules only allow each account to read its own data. We never show your email publicly and we do not sell or share your personal data. We use combined, anonymous figures (for example the share of players who support each club) to understand our audience and show sponsors who plays; these never identify you. Your favourite team, location and podcast answer are sent to Google Analytics for reporting; your date of birth, gender, name and email are not. Your first name (from Google or Apple, or typed in by you) is kept by our sign-in service, shown only to you, and not stored with your game data.
Leaderboards Every CAST Games account picks a username. It appears on the public CAST Games leaderboards next to your best scores and your favourite team's badge. Anyone viewing a leaderboard can tap your row to see the team behind that score: the players you picked and the result, nothing else. Nothing else about you is shown next to your name: never your real name, email, age or location. Your favourite team, country and (in Australia) state also place you on club, country and state leaderboards, so other players can see which of those boards you appear on. Usernames are checked for offensive words, and we may remove any that are offensive or impersonate someone. Scores are checked by our server before they are ranked. You can hide yourself from every leaderboard, or change your username, in your CAST Profile at any time. Deleting your account removes you, and those teams, from every leaderboard.
Friends and Challenges If you add friends, they can see your username, team badge, ticks, your stats totals and most-picked players, your best leaderboard rankings and your last few games (with the teams you picked). They never see your email, date of birth or location. A challenge shares your result with the friend you send it to. Players can find you by searching your username, unless you hide yourself from the leaderboards. You can remove a friend at any time, and deleting your account removes you from every friends list.
Emails and Your Choices We only email you if you tick the opt-in box. The same opt-in covers offers from our partners and sponsors, for adults 18+ only, sent by us: we never pass your email to partners. Every email has an unsubscribe link. We send emails with Kit (kit.com), our email provider. If you opt in, we send Kit your email address, first name, favourite team, state, country and podcast answer, plus which of our games you play, so we can send you relevant emails. Kit stores this in the United States and handles it on our behalf only. We never send Kit your date of birth, gender or game history. If you switch every email option off, we unsubscribe you in Kit straight away. If you delete your account we also unsubscribe you; email us if you want your record removed from Kit entirely. In your CAST Profile you can switch emails off, download a copy of your data, sign out, or permanently delete your account, game history and stats. We keep account data until you delete your account or ask us to.
CAST Pass Payments If you buy CAST Pass, the payment is handled by Stripe (stripe.com), which receives your card details, your email address (for receipts) and your billing country under its own privacy policy. We never see or store your card number. We keep a small record with your account: whether you have a Pass, your plan, when it renews or ends, and the Stripe customer and subscription numbers that link it to your account. If you delete your account, we cancel the subscription and delete that record. Stripe keeps its own payment records as the law requires.
Contact Us and Bug Reports When you send us a message with the Contact Us or Report a Bug form, we receive what you write, the topic you pick and your email address so we can reply. If you are signed in, we use the email on your CAST Profile and also see your account ID and username. To help us fix problems, the form also sends which game and page you were on, the game’s version, your browser and device type, your screen size and the last few error messages from that page. The form shows you this before you send. It never sends your game data, passwords or payment details. Messages are stored in Cloud Firestore in Google’s Sydney, Australia region. Only The Cast Patrol’s admins can read them, and we only use them to answer you and fix what you tell us about. To stop the form being flooded, we keep a scrambled code made from your internet connection’s address with the times of your last few messages; the address itself is never stored. We keep messages until we have dealt with them and no longer need them, and you can ask us to delete yours at any time.
Hosting 27-0 is a static website. Standard technical information (IP addresses, browser info, request logs) may be processed by our hosting and CDN provider for security and performance purposes.
Changes We may update this policy from time to time. The date above reflects the latest update.

Terms of Use
Last updated: 17 October 2026
Fan-Made Game 27-0 is an independent, fan-made browser game created by The Cast Patrol. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with the NRL, any NRL club, competition, league, governing body, organisation, game publisher, or ratings provider. All trademarks and intellectual property belong to their respective owners.
Player Ratings All player ratings in 27-0 are editorial opinions created by The Cast Patrol. They do not represent official NRL ratings, club assessments, or any other third-party view.
No Wagering 27-0 is free to play and involves no wagering or gambling. Purchases are optional: the CAST Pass supporter subscription and the in-game items below.
CAST Games Accounts Accounts are optional, free and for people aged 13 and over. Do not use accounts to cheat, tamper with scores or interfere with the games. We may remove accounts that do, and remove leaderboard scores that look tampered with. Leaderboard usernames must not be offensive or impersonate anyone; we may change or remove any that are. You can delete your account at any time in your CAST Profile.
CAST Pass CAST Pass is an optional supporter subscription for CAST Games accounts, sold by The Cast Patrol. It costs A$5.99 a month or A$49.99 a year for members who join from 18 October 2026 (A$4.99 a month or A$39.99 a year before then), in Australian dollars. Members keep the price they joined at for as long as their subscription continues. The Cast Patrol is not registered for GST, so no GST is charged. It renews automatically at the end of each month or year until you cancel. A monthly Pass can switch to yearly from the CAST Pass page: you pay the yearly price that goes with your monthly price then, less the days left in your current month, and your year starts that day. You can cancel at any time in your CAST Profile (Manage or Cancel), and you keep your Pass until the end of the time you have paid for. We do not refund part-used months or years, but nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. The perks are listed on the CAST Pass page. Perks marked Coming Soon are planned, without a fixed date. The custom video comes with the yearly plan. It is made by The Cast Patrol when you ask for it (by Instagram message or email, as shown on the CAST Pass page once you have it), while your Pass is active, and can take a few weeks. We may decline a request that is offensive, involves betting, or features someone without their consent. CAST Pass holders can add their own profile photo. Only use a photo you have the right to share: nothing offensive, explicit or about betting, and nobody else without their okay. We can remove any photo, and it shows only while your Pass is active. We will not take away a perk you have paid for during your current month or year, and we will tell you before a price change applies to you. CAST Pass never buys prize entries. Payments are processed by Stripe, and we never see your card details. If you delete your account, your CAST Pass is cancelled at the same time and no more payments are taken. If you are under 18, ask a parent or guardian before you buy. Questions or refund requests: email cast@thecastpatrol.com.au or send us a message with Contact Us (pick Payment or Purchase).
Extra Rerolls players 15 and over can buy extra rerolls for 27-0 Classic and 1000TRIES, $0.99 each, 5 for $2.99 or 12 for $5.99 (Australian dollars; The Cast Patrol is not registered for GST, so no GST is charged). They are a one-off purchase through Stripe, not a subscription. They stay on your CAST Games account until you use them, in either game. They have no cash value and can't be moved to another account. Nothing here limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Vault Keys players 15 and over can also buy Legend Keys (1000TRIES 1000+) or Superstar Keys (27-0 Classic and Pack), $1.99 each or 3 for $4.99; CAST Pass holders get 4 keys in a 3-key pack for the same price. Your daily CAST Pass key is always used before a bought one. Keys follow the same rules as extra rerolls.
Remove Player Packs players 15 and over can also buy extra Remove Players for 27-0 Classic and 1000TRIES, $0.99 each, 5 for $2.99 or 12 for $6.99. One is only used once your free Remove Player for that game is gone. They follow the same rules as extra rerolls.
Reveals players 15 and over can also buy extra Reveals (Reveal Tries in 1000TRIES, Reveal Ratings in 27-0 Classic), $0.99 each or 5 for $2.99. One is only used once your free Reveal for that game is gone. They follow the same rules as extra rerolls.
Run It Back players 15 and over can buy Run It Backs for 27-0 Classic, $0.99 each or 3 for $1.99. One runs a finished season back with one loss turned into a win: a lost Grand Final first, otherwise the closest regular-season loss. It can be used once a season. A season run back shows a boost mark on the leaderboards, and a run-back 27-0 counts as a Perfect Season. They follow the same rules as extra rerolls.
Team of the Year Picks during the 2026 Dally M promotion (until 8 am Saturday 3 October 2026, Sydney time), players 15 and over can buy Team of the Year Picks for 27-0, $3.99 each or 3 for $8.99. One puts a 2026 Dally M Team of the Year player you choose from three into your 13 in Classic, Hard or Packs, rated 95 (the Dally M Medal winner 99). CAST Pass holders get one free. Picks not used by the end of the promotion become 3 Superstar Keys each. A game that uses one shows a boost mark on the leaderboards and can’t be sent as a challenge. They follow the same rules as extra rerolls.
Hard Mode Wildcards In Hard Mode (Exactly 1000 in 1000TRIES, Hard in 27-0) there are no free wildcards for anyone, including CAST Pass holders. You can use one of each wildcard (Reroll, Reveal and Remove Player) per game, from your Vault or bought on the spot at the prices above.
The GOAT players 15 and over can buy the GOAT for 1000TRIES, $9.99. It makes your next offer Alex Johnston (240 NRL tries) in a 1000+ or Exactly 1000 game: once per game, never in the Daily Challenge or a friend’s challenge, and only if he fits an open spot. A game that uses it shows a boost mark on the leaderboards. It follows the same rules as extra rerolls.
Streak Freezes Streak Freezes are no longer sold. You can earn them from Daily Challenges and streak prizes, and you can hold one at a time. If you miss a day, it is used automatically overnight so your CAST streak carries on. CAST Pass holders also get one free each month, on top of the one they hold and used before it. A Streak Freeze won from a reward while you already hold one comes as a Reroll instead. Streak Freezes already bought stay on your account and keep working.
Streak Restore if your CAST streak of 3 days or more ends because you missed a day without a Streak Freeze, players 15 and over are offered a Streak Restore for $4.99 once, on your next visit. It brings your streak back as if the missed days were covered. The offer ends if you decline it, close it or play a game first. It follows the same rules as extra rerolls.
Immortal Picks when they are on sale, players 15 and over can buy Immortal Picks, $4.99 each or 3 for $11.99. One puts an Immortal you choose from three into your 13: in 27-0 Classic, Hard or Packs he is rated 99, and in 1000TRIES 1000+, Exactly 1000 or Team Spin he brings his career tries. They are never used in a Daily Challenge or a friend’s challenge. A game that uses one shows a boost mark on the leaderboards and can’t be sent as a challenge. They follow the same rules as extra rerolls.
88+ Picks players 15 and over can buy 88+ Picks for 27-0, $3.99 each or 3 for $8.99. One puts a player rated 88 or more from the 2026 World Cup squads, chosen from three, into your 13 in World Cup 8-0, at his own rating. CAST Pass holders get one free, once. A game that uses one shows a boost mark on the leaderboards. They follow the same rules as extra rerolls.
World Legend Picks players 15 and over can buy World Legend Picks, $4.99 each or 3 for $11.99, used in 27-0 World Cup 8-0 and 1000TRIES World Cup 200+. One puts a World Legend you choose from three into your 13: at his World Cup rating in 27-0, with his Test tries in 1000TRIES. CAST Pass holders get one free, once. A game that uses one shows a boost mark on the leaderboards. They follow the same rules as extra rerolls.
Gameday Bag Players 15 and over can put several Shop items in one Gameday Bag and pay for them once, through Stripe. Each item is priced at its own pack prices, then the bag gets 5% off from A$10 and 10% off from A$20 (Australian dollars). CAST Pass members get another 5% off a bag once one of those discounts applies. Promotional Picks can only go in a bag while their promotion runs, and a Streak Restore can’t go in a bag. The discount shows on the Stripe checkout and on your receipt. If a bag is refunded or reversed by your bank, everything in it is removed from your account. Everything in a bag follows the same rules as extra rerolls.
Daily Challenge and Streak Rewards Completing a Daily Challenge, or every 10 days of a CAST streak, can earn free in-game items such as keys, Reveals, Run It Backs, Streak Freezes or rerolls. Joining our emails for the first time earns one free Reveal, once per CAST Profile. They go into the Vault on your CAST Games account, have no cash value, can't be moved to another account, and are only given for games played fairly. We may change or end rewards at any time without taking back items already given.
Invite Rewards Your invite link (from Friends, and the links in your share cards while you’re signed in) works for every CAST game. A new player who signs up with it gets 3 free rerolls after their first game. Their invite counts for you once they have played 3 games in any CAST game (Quick Draft games don’t count). For each mate who counts you get 3 free rerolls (up to 10 mates a month), and as more mates count you also get: a Legend Key at 3 mates; 3 Legend Keys at 5 mates; and The GOAT plus the Recruiter trophy in 27-0 and 1000TRIES at 10 mates. Each of these is given once per account. New Game Boost: a mate who joins a new CAST game in its first 14 days after launch earns you that game’s bonus item once they count (shown on your Invite a Mate screen while it runs).
Invites only count for genuine new players with a finished CAST Profile (a leaderboard name and date of birth), and invite rewards are for players 15 and over. Inviting yourself, or accounts that invite each other, doesn’t count. Sign-ups from a creator’s link are counted for that creator and don’t earn invite rewards. Invite rewards, like all items, have no cash value, can’t be sold, traded or moved to another account, and can’t be swapped for money. We may hold back or remove rewards from invites that aren’t genuine, and we may change or end invite rewards at any time without taking back items already given.
Items and Rewards Everything you buy, win or are given in CAST Games (items, rewards and Gameday Bags) has no cash value and can’t be sold, traded, swapped for money or moved to another account. In-game items are refunded only when a bug or fault stopped them working as described, or where the Australian Consumer Law requires it. We don’t refund items because a Pick, Reroll or other item didn’t give the result you hoped for, or because they’ve been used. If a purchase is refunded or reversed by your bank, everything it gave is removed from your account. Nothing here limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Use of the Site Use of 27-0 is at your own risk. The Cast Patrol makes no warranties about the accuracy or completeness of content. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the game at any time.
