The demo does not clinically train behaviour or make losses safe. It does not promise account-level blocking, a timer, or self-exclusion tools that the interface does not have. Do not claim the demo makes losses safe or guarantees specific outcomes.
Understanding the Audience and Limits
The 18+ label is this guide's own intended audience policy. It does not imply that every jurisdiction requires age 18 for this specific browser demo, nor does it represent an enforced age gate. Users should find appropriate local qualified help if needed.
Responsible play involves setting personal limits. In this demo, you can define your own virtual-coin limits. The wallet balance resets manually if idle funds drop below 10, restoring the balance to exactly 1000. This reset preserves fractional change but does not add new coins automatically. Use this reset as a voluntary limit mechanism if you choose to pause and let the balance drop.
Practical Breaks and Pauses
You can take breaks at any time. Because this is a browser-based demo, pausing is simply closing the tab or refreshing the page. Note that an unfinished round ends without refund or resume when you reload. There is no automatic timer or network-synchronised account tracking your break duration.
Stake, mode, and refill settings are locked while play is active. You can pause by stopping your selection of cells. The game does not force a break; it relies on your voluntary decision to stop picking safe cells or to collect.
Voluntary Virtual-Coin Limits
The demo uses virtual coins that do not have external cash value. You can set a personal limit by deciding how many times you will trigger the manual balance restoration. Since the balance restores to 1000 only when idle funds are below 10, you can control your exposure by monitoring your balance.
- Set a cap: Decide to stop when your balance reaches zero or a specific low number.
- Use the reset: The manual restoration to 1000 can serve as a "new session" marker, helping you track how many sessions you play in a row.
Data and Privacy in the Demo
This demo uses localStorage for settled balance and fractional carry. This does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing. Template declarations may include third-party requests like Google Fonts, but a full-site network capture is pending. Clearing cached files may leave local storage, where that storage is actually used. The absence of account or payment controls does not prove that no personal data are processed.
No Clinical Guarantees
The demo does not provide clinical diagnosis, risk thresholds, or guaranteed safeguards. It is a mathematical game based on exact posterior probabilities. Playing the game does not clinically train behaviour or make losses safe. The 97% expected gross return is a mathematical average over many rounds, not a guarantee for your session.
Finding Help
If you find that gaming is affecting your life, look for appropriate local qualified help. This guide does not invent clinic names, hotlines, opening hours, or diagnostic thresholds. Consult local resources in your region for professional support.
Frequently asked questions
Is this 18+ a legal requirement?
No. The 18+ label is this guide's own intended audience policy. It is not a universal legal age, an implemented age gate, or a statement of local legality.
Can I pause and resume my game?
You can pause by stopping play. However, if you reload the page, an unfinished round ends without refund or resume. There is no automatic queue or account recovery for unfinished rounds.
Does the demo track my personal data?
The demo uses localStorage for balance and carry. It does not have a login flow or payment flow. This does not prove that no personal data are processed elsewhere, nor does it guarantee anonymity.
