The intended audience for this guide is 18+. This is a policy choice for this specific content and does not represent a universal legal age, an implemented age gate, or a statement of local legality in Brazil or elsewhere.

Understanding Limits and Time

Responsible gaming involves managing your time and virtual coin usage. The Fifo Residence demo allows for optional pauses and self-imposed limits.

  • End a round: While live, click Bank live value to settle the current conditional quote. This ends the round; it is not a pause with a resume function.
  • Auto-Cap: You can preselect an automatic reveal cap of 4, 8, or 12. This acts as a built-in limit on the number of bits revealed before settlement.
  • Personal Limits: Since the demo uses a local virtual wallet, you can set your own limits by deciding when to stop playing and whether to restore the balance when eligible.

There is no timer displayed in the interface, nor is there an account-level blocking or self-exclusion tool implemented in this specific demo.

Wallet Persistence and Refill

The demo uses a local virtual wallet. Understanding how balances persist helps in managing your session responsibly.

  • Initial Balance: The wallet starts with 1000 virtual coins.
  • Refill Rule: If the balance falls below 10 while idle, clicking refill sets the balance to exactly 1000. This is a manual action, not an automatic replenishment.
  • Fractional Carry: Fractional carry persists across settlement, refill, and reload. This means any fractional value remaining in the wallet is preserved.
  • Reload Consequence: If you reload the page during an unfinished trace (a round in progress), the captured debit is lost. The round does not resume, and there is no refund.

Data and Privacy in the Demo

This section describes only the storage and requests observable in the current demo environment. It does not promise anonymity or detail all processing.

  • Local Storage: The demo uses browser localStorage to store the settled demo balance and fractional carry. This storage is local to your browser.
  • No Account: There is no account login flow in this demo. This alone does not show that no personal data are processed by the site.
  • Third Parties: The template declares a Google Fonts stylesheet. Actual browser request capture is pending, so we cannot confirm if other requests are made or processed.

Clearing cached files may leave local storage data if not explicitly cleared. The absence of account controls does not prove that no personal data are processed elsewhere.

Responsible Use Practices

While the demo simulates gaming mechanics, it does not clinically train behaviour or make losses safe. Consider these practices:

  • Virtual Value: The virtual coins used have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn.
  • Stop Rules: Use the Auto-Cap feature (4, 8, or 12) to limit exposure. Alternatively, set a personal virtual coin limit and stop when reached.
  • Find Help: If you find that gaming is affecting your life, seek appropriate local qualified help. This guide does not provide specific clinic names, hotlines, or diagnostic thresholds.

Game Mechanics Overview

Understanding the game helps in making informed decisions. Fifo Residence is based on 12 independent fair bits revealed in order.

  • Score: The score is the sum of elapsed times for served items. Unserved items contribute zero.
  • Powers: You can select raw-score power 1, 2, or 3. Each has a different unconditional mean.
  • Payout: The live gross bank quote is calculated as 0.96 × captured whole stake × conditional mean of the final raw score raised to the selected power / unconditional mean for that power.

Expected Return and Variance

The expected gross return under supported stopping policies is 96%. This is an exact mathematical expectation, not a guarantee of net profit in any single session.

Simulation measurements support this but are not the law. For example, in mode 0 with auto-cap 4, the measured RTP was 96.04981587034612% over 1,000,000 rounds, close to the exact 0.96. Variance means short-term results can differ significantly from the expected value.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 18+ rule a legal requirement?

No. The 18+ label indicates this guide's intended audience policy. It is not a universal legal age, an implemented age gate in the demo, or a statement of local legality in Brazil or other jurisdictions.

Does the demo store my personal data?

The demo uses browser localStorage for balance and carry. It does not use an account login flow. However, the absence of account controls does not prove that no personal data are processed elsewhere or by third parties like Google Fonts.

What happens if I reload during a game?

Reloading an unfinished trace ends the round without refund. The captured debit is lost, and the round does not resume. Only settled balances and fractional carry persist.
