Questions, answered properly
Plain-English answers on how virtual Solstice Shards work, how we verify game fairness, and how to manage your sanctuary profile.
Coins and play
What are Solstice Shards (SHARDS) worth in the real world?
Nothing at all. Solstice Shards (SHARDS) are strictly virtual entertainment tokens used inside Stonehenge Play Hub. They have zero monetary or commercial value and can never be withdrawn, sold, transferred, or exchanged for cash, goods, or services.
How do I earn more Solstice Shards?
Every new visitor starts with 10,000 free SHARDS. You can claim an additional 1,500 SHARDS every 24 hours via the Daily Shard Drop, spin the 8-wedge Daily Solstice Wheel for up to 10,000 SHARDS, scratch instant bonus cards, or finish Daily, Weekly, and Season Quests.
Can I spend real money or buy extra Shards on this site?
No. Stonehenge Play Hub has no cashier, no deposit form, and no in-app purchases. Every feature on the platform is 100% free to play for everyone.
Can I transfer my Solstice Shards or Circle Gems to another player?
No. Virtual balances, Status Gems, and Sanctuary XP are bound to your personal account and cannot be traded, gifted, or sold between players.
What happens if my virtual balance reaches zero?
If your balance drops low, our instant Sanctuary Refill modal lets you claim a free 2,500 SHARDS top-up on the spot, or you can visit the Rewards Hub for your daily drop and wheel spin.
Fairness and games
How do provably fair seeds and certified RNG work?
Each cabinet runs on an independent Random Number Generator (RNG), while platform rewards like the Daily Solstice Wheel and Community Jackpot draws use HMAC-SHA256 cryptographic hashing. You can inspect the current server seed hash and rotate your client seed at any time under Security & fairness.
Where is each game's RTP published?
Every cabinet displays its theoretical Return to Player (RTP) percentage and volatility rating on its lobby card overlay and inside the Game Info sidebar on the All Games and cabinet launch pages.
Do the odds ever change based on my level or Shard balance?
Never. Every spin is an independent mathematical event with identical odds regardless of your virtual balance, login streak, or Stonehenge Status tier.
Account and safety
How does self-exclusion or taking a break work?
You can activate an immediate 15, 30, or 60-minute session cool-off timer on our Responsible Play page, or lock your account for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 6 months, or permanently under Self-exclusion.
How do I reset my password?
Click "Forgot password?" on the Member Log In page to request a reset link, or update your password directly inside Security & fairness while signed in.
Can I open more than one account?
We allow strictly one account per person so that Community Megalith Jackpot draws and referral rewards remain fair for the entire sanctuary.
Who is eligible to join Stonehenge Play Hub?
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction) to register or play on Stonehenge Play Hub.
