Guide

Responsible Gaming in the Demo

This guide targets adults 18+ as an audience policy. It is not a universal legal age, an enforced age gate, or a statement of local legality. The following section explains practical pauses and voluntary limits using the Ticket Coin Workshop virtual wallet.

Practical Breaks

You can pause between complete draws. Unlike real-money play, there are no timer-based account restrictions or self-exclusion tools enforced by the interface.

  • Manual Pause: You may choose not to start another draw. Settings and refill are locked while drawing, but you can stop between draws.
  • Unfinished Rounds: If you reload the page during an active round, the round ends without refund or resume. Your settled balance persists locally, but the unfinished stake is lost.
  • No Automatic Recovery: The demo does not automatically replenish your balance. You must manually restore it if idle.

Voluntary Limits

You can set your own limits for time or virtual coin usage. The demo does not enforce these limits automatically.

  • Wallet Restoration: If your balance drops below 10 coins while idle, you can manually restore it to exactly 1000. This is a manual action, not an automatic refill.
  • Fractional Carry: Fractional values persist through settlement, manual refill, and reload. The whole-coin balance and the fractional carry are separate stored values; these are not a session history or a spending-limit tool.
  • No Cash Value: The virtual coins in this demo do not have real-world cash value. They are for demonstration purposes only.

Understanding the Wallet

The demo uses a local virtual wallet. It does not have an account login flow or payment gateway.

Game Mechanics & Control

The Ticket Coin Workshop uses specific rules that affect how you manage your play.

  • Stake: One captured whole stake (10/20/50/100) per draw. No Auto/Stop/Cash-out.
  • Scoring: Two independent 00–99 tickets give four digits. Add them, then find the minimum number of coins (1/3/4) forming that sum.
  • Payout: Gross 0.96 divided by exact probability, giving 96% expected gross return.
  • Controls: Settings and refill are locked while drawing. Sound remains available.

Privacy & Data

The demo uses localStorage for settled balance and fractional carry. This does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing.

  • No Account: There is no account login flow or payment flow in the demo.
  • Third Parties: The published page requests Google Fonts and Statinside44 site-counter resources.
  • Data Retention: No specific server retention policy is established by the demo.

Responsible Use

This demo does not clinically train behaviour or make losses safe. It is a demonstration of mechanics.

  • Voluntary Limits: Set your own time or coin limits. The demo does not enforce them.
  • Local Progress: Progress is local. Reloading may lose unfinished rounds.
  • Help: For appropriate local qualified help, find resources in your region.

Frequently asked questions

Does the demo enforce an 18+ age gate?

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.

What happens if I reload the page during a draw?

An unfinished round ends without refund or resume. Your settled balance persists locally, but the unfinished stake is lost.

How do I restore my balance?

If your balance is below 10 coins while idle, you can manually restore it to exactly 1000. This preserves fractional change. It is not an automatic refill.
