Personal limits and breaks

You can decide on a time limit or virtual-coin budget before playing and leave when it is reached. No enforced timer or account-level self-exclusion is implemented. In this Mines game, cells advance only when you select them; you can stop making selections and collect after a safe reveal. Leaving an unfinished round does not refund its stake.

The captured stake is deducted once at the start and stays fixed. After a safe reveal, gross collection = 0.96 × captured stake × initial legal-board count ÷ remaining compatible-board count. Gross includes any returned stake. A mine pays zero. The 96% figure is expected gross across the pricing law, not the amount returned on every successful collection, winning frequency or a profit guarantee.

The demo starts at 1,000 virtual coins with no cash value. While idle with an integer wallet below 10, the restoration button sets that integer balance to 1,000. It does not replenish automatically or add another 1,000 to the balance. Saved fractional carry is preserved, and no deposit, withdrawal or real account flow is provided.

Settlement credits whole coins and saves the fractional remainder for later settlements. The wallet, including zero, and saved fraction persist locally across ordinary reloads. Reloading an unfinished round ends it without a refund or resume: its deducted stake stays lost.

The game uses browser localStorage for the wallet and fractional carry. The page also loads Google Fonts and a Statinside counter. Local storage and absence of a demo login do not establish anonymity or exclude network, counter or server processing. This is not an exhaustive inventory of processing.

We publish for an 18+ audience. That is this guide’s policy, not a universal legal age or an implemented age-verification gate. If play becomes hard to stop or affects your routine, step away and seek appropriate qualified support in your locality. The demo provides no clinical benefit or outside-service safety assessment.
