Who We Are

Built for Australian Gamers

Shadow Arcade was founded in 2019 by a group of passionate Australian gaming enthusiasts who believed that entertainment should be accessible, safe, and completely free from financial pressure.

We set out to create a platform where adults could enjoy the excitement of arcade-style games without any of the risks associated with real-money gambling. Our social gaming model means you play with virtual tokens — the fun is real, but there's nothing at stake financially.

Today, Shadow Arcade serves over 50,000 players across Australia, with physical venues in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and the Gold Coast.
