Terms of Use
Last updated: 7 November 2026
Who We Are
CAST Games and The Cast Patrol are registered business names, ABN 98 256 982 096. “We”, “us” and “our” on this page mean the business behind those names.
Fan-Made Game
CAST Games (castgames.com.au and the CAST Games app for iPhone and Android) is independent and fan-made by The Cast Patrol, as is every CAST game in it. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with the NRL, any NRL 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.
Try Counts
Try counts in 1000TRIES are compiled by The Cast Patrol from publicly available records and cover NRL premiership games from 1998 onwards (Legends and Immortals count their whole premiership 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
1000TRIES 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 Pass is open to CAST Games account holders of any age, and every other paid item is for players 15 and over. If you are under 18, ask a parent or guardian before you buy.
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. New members whose phone or computer is set to New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom or Papua New Guinea pay our local prices instead: NZ$6.99 a month or NZ$59.99 a year, US$3.99 or US$34.99, £2.99 or £25.99, or K18.99 or K159.99 (see Local prices). 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. 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. CAST Pass is open to CAST Games account holders of any age. 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 every CAST game, $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 any CAST game. They have no cash value and can't be moved to another account. Nothing here limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Star Keys: players 15 and over can also buy Star Keys, one key for the main mode of every CAST draft game (in 27-0 Classic and Pack your next spin includes a player rated 95 or more; in the others, such as 1000+ in 1000TRIES, an offer becomes a Legends Pick), $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. Legend Keys and Superstar Keys bought before 27 October 2026 are Star Keys now. Keys follow the same rules as extra rerolls.
Remove Player Packs: players 15 and over can also buy extra Remove Players for every CAST draft game, $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 for every CAST draft game (such as Reveal Tries in 1000TRIES and 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 and every Undefeated game’s 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. In a HIGHER OR LOWER game, one lets you play on after a wrong call or a call out of time, keeping your streak. They follow the same rules as extra rerolls.
Team of the Year Picks (ended 3 October 2026, kept as a record): 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 Star 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 (27-0 HARD) there are no free wildcards for anyone, including CAST Pass holders. You can use one of each wildcard (Reroll, Reveal Ratings and Remove Player) per season, from your Vault or bought on the spot at the prices above. Items bought for the retired Exactly modes were used under the rules in place at the time.
The GOAT: players 15 and over can buy the GOAT, $9.99. It works in every CAST draft game and makes your next offer that game’s GOAT in its main mode: Alex Johnston (240 NRL tries) in 1000TRIES, Tony Lockett (1360 VFL and AFL goals) in 4000 GOALS, Chris Lynn (4133 Big Bash runs) in 25000 RUNS, Sachin Tendulkar (15921 Test runs) in 60000 RUNS, Jerry Rice (208 NFL TDs) in 777 TDS, Damien Oliver (129 Group 1 wins) in G1 WINNER SPINNER, Alan Shearer (260 EPL goals) in 650 GOALS, LeBron James (43440 NBA points) in 100000 POINTS, Tom Trbojevic’s 2021 season (2149 SC points) in SC POINTS KING and Marcus Bontempelli’s 2023 season (2982 SC points) in SC POINTS KING: AFL. 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: from 27 October 2026 Immortal Picks are not used in 1000TRIES. They are sold for 27-0 ($4.99 each or 3 for $11.99), where one puts an Immortal you choose from three into your 13 in Classic, Hard or Packs, rated 99, and any you hold stay in your Vault for it. 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.
NRL BINGO and Wild Tiles: in NRL 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 in full or reversed by your bank, the full quantity of everything in it is taken back, as for any other purchase (see Items and Rewards). 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, One More Go, the Streak Restore 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.
One More Go: once you have used your free goes at a game’s Daily Challenge for the day, players 15 and over can buy One More Go, $0.99, for another try at that day’s Daily, up to 2 a day at each game’s Daily. Your best score of the day counts, as always. A go you buy is only for that day’s Daily: it doesn’t go into your Vault and isn’t included with CAST Pass.
Daily Challenge and Streak Rewards: completing a Daily Challenge, reaching a CAST streak milestone, or signing in on the CAST Games app for the first time 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 Star Key at 3 mates; 3 Star 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 in full or reversed by your bank, the full quantity it gave is taken back off your account, whether or not you have used any of it (your balance never goes below zero). A part refund takes nothing back, and if your bank’s dispute is decided in our favour, the items are given back. CAST Pass refunds follow the CAST Pass terms above. Nothing here limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
The CAST Games App
CAST Games is also an app for iPhone (from the App Store) and Android phones (from Google Play). It has the same games, CAST Games accounts, leaderboards and Vault as castgames.com.au, and these terms apply to it in the same way.
Buying in the app. Inside the app, CAST Pass and every in-game item are bought through Apple’s App Store on iPhone or Google Play on Android, never by card with us. The store shows the price in your own currency before you confirm, takes the payment and sends your receipt. Your purchase is added to the CAST Games account you are signed in with, and it works on the website too. Items follow the same rules as the items above: they stay on your account until you use them, have no cash value and can’t be moved to another account.
CAST Pass in the app. CAST Pass bought in the app is an automatically renewing subscription: A$5.99 a month or A$49.99 a year in Australia, with your local price shown by the App Store or Google Play before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account or Google Play account when you confirm. It renews automatically unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the end of the current month or year, and the renewal is charged within the 24 hours before that period ends. You can manage or cancel it at any time in your Apple Account settings (Settings, your name, then Subscriptions) or in Google Play (Payments and Subscriptions). Cancelling in your CAST Profile does not stop a subscription bought in the app. You keep your Pass until the end of the time you have paid for.
Refunds. Refunds for purchases made in the app are handled by Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com) or Google Play under their own policies, so we can’t refund them ourselves. If an item didn’t work because of a problem on our side, tell us with Contact Us and we will put it right. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Apple and Google. On iPhone, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. These terms are between you and The Cast Patrol, not Apple or Google: we, not they, are responsible for the app, its content, its support and any claim about it.
Notifications. If you allow them, the app sends notifications about your streak and the Daily Challenge, friends and challenges, and, only if you turn them on, offers and news. You can choose each kind in the app’s menu, or switch them all off in your phone’s settings.
Use of the Site
Use of 1000TRIES 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.
