Terms of Use
Last updated: 17 October 2026
Fan-Made Game
4000 GOALS is an independent, fan-made browser game created by The Cast Patrol. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with the AFL, any AFL club, competition, league, governing body, organisation or game publisher. All trademarks and intellectual property belong to their respective owners. Club and player names are used for informational and descriptive purposes only.
Goal Counts
Goal counts in 4000 GOALS are compiled by The Cast Patrol from publicly available records and cover AFL premiership games from 1990 onwards and AFLW premiership games from 2017 onwards (Legends count their whole VFL and AFL careers). We work to keep them accurate, but they may differ from other sources and are provided without warranty. If you think a number is wrong, let us know.
No Wagering
4000 GOALS 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. You are responsible for the Google or Apple account you sign in with. 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. See our Privacy Policy for how account data is handled.
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).
In-Game Items
Players 15 and over can buy the in-game items below. Prices are in Australian dollars; The Cast Patrol is not registered for GST, so no GST is charged. Each is a one-off purchase through Stripe, not a subscription. Items go into the Vault on your CAST Games account, the same Vault in every CAST game, and stay there until you use them. They have no cash value and can’t be moved to another account. Nothing here limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Rerolls: A$0.99 each, 5 for A$2.99 or 12 for A$5.99. A Reroll gives you a fresh offer (a Respin in Team Spin). In a draft, one is only used once your free Rerolls for that game are gone. They work in every CAST game.
Remove Players: A$0.99 each, 5 for A$2.99 or 12 for A$6.99. One takes a player out of your 18 so you can draft that spot again, and is only used once your free Remove Player for that game is gone. They work in every CAST draft game.
Reveals: A$0.99 each or 5 for A$2.99. In 4000 GOALS a Reveal is Reveal Goals: it shows the goals for everyone on the current offer. One is only used once your free Reveal for that game is gone. They work in every CAST draft game.
Legend Keys: A$1.99 each or 3 for A$4.99; CAST Pass holders get 4 keys in a 3-key pack for the same price. A key swaps an offer in 4000+ for a Legends Pick: three greats to choose from. Your daily CAST Pass key is always used before a bought one. They work in the main mode of every CAST draft game.
Hard Mode Wildcards: Exactly 4000 is Hard Mode. There are no free wildcards for anyone, including CAST Pass holders. You can use one of each wildcard (Reroll, Reveal Goals and Remove Player) per game, from your Vault or bought on the spot at the prices above.
The GOAT: A$9.99. It makes your next offer in 4000+ or Exactly 4000 this game’s GOAT, Tony Lockett (1360 VFL and AFL goals). 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. In another CAST draft game it brings that game’s own GOAT.
Run It Back: A$0.99 each or 3 for A$1.99. Run It Backs are sold in the CAST Shop on every game. In a HIGHER OR LOWER game, one lets you play on after a wrong call or a call out of time, keeping your streak.
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, you are offered a Streak Restore for A$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.
AFL Bingo and Wild Tiles: in AFL Bingo there are no free skips. A Reroll skips the player on your card, a Reveal lights up the open tiles he played for, and a Run It Back gives you one more life after your last one; each uses one from your Vault or is bought as above. A player who fits none of your open tiles costs a life unless you use a Reroll on him. Players 15 and over can also buy Wild Tiles, A$2.99 each or 3 for A$6.99 (Australian dollars). A Wild Tile fills one open tile of your choice on any CAST Bingo card, and a card with one in it shows a boost mark on the leaderboards. Wild Tiles are a one-off purchase through Stripe and 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.
Local prices: on a phone or computer set to New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom or Papua New Guinea, the Shop, the Gameday Bag and CAST Pass for new members show and charge our own prices in New Zealand dollars, US dollars, pounds or kina. We set them from the Australian dollar prices in these terms, and a Gameday Bag’s discounts start at round amounts of about the same value in that currency. Everywhere else, prices are in Australian dollars. The Shop says which currency it is using, and you can change it there. The Stripe checkout always shows the currency and amount before you pay, and your bank may charge a fee for a payment in a currency other than your own. CAST Pass members keep the price and currency they joined at.
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 your Vault, 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.
