Responsible Gaming in the AQ9 Demo

The official website of aq9.

The official website of aq9. This guide explains responsible gaming practices within the AQ9 Column Lex Zigzag demo environment. The demo uses a virtual wallet that does not represent real money. There is no account, login, or payment system; no username or password is requested to play. This does not exclude other processing.

The intended audience for this guide is 18+. This is a policy of the guide, not a claim that you are legally of age in your jurisdiction. Responsible gaming is about managing your own time and virtual coin usage.

Virtual Wallet and Balance

The demo starts with a balance of 1000 virtual coins. This balance is stored in your browser's local storage.

  • Restoration: If your balance drops below 10 while idle, you may manually refill it. This action sets your balance to exactly 1000.
  • Fractional Carry: Fractional coin values persist across settlements, refills, and page reloads.
  • Unfinished Rounds: If you reload the page during an active round, the round ends without refund or resume. Your settled balance remains, but any pending quote is lost.

There is no automatic replenishment, no cash withdrawal, and no network-synchronised account.

Storage and Privacy

The demo stores balance and fractional carry in browser localStorage. It has no account or payment form; this does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing. Pages request Google Fonts and Statinside counter 44. Those requests may convey the IP address and browser request information to those services. Server retention and other processing are not established here. Clearing this site’s localStorage or site data removes balance and carry; clearing only cached files may leave them intact.

Optional Pauses and Limits

Responsible play involves setting your own limits. Since there is no automatic timer or self-exclusion tool in this demo:

  • You may stop using the demo at any time by closing the browser tab or navigating away. An active round is not resumable and its deducted stake is not refunded.
  • You can set a personal limit on how many times you refill the wallet (e.g., stop after three refills).
  • You can monitor your time manually.

The demo does not track your real-world time or enforce breaks.

Understanding the Demo

The board has 4×4 cells and exactly 3, 4 or 5 mines. Read each column from top to bottom as a four-bit integer: mine = 1, safe = 0, weights 8, 4, 2, 1. From left to right, the column values must satisfy c0 ≤ c1 ≥ c2 ≤ c3; equality is allowed. Draws are uniform among boards satisfying both this rule and the selected mine count. Initial support sizes are respectively 150, 464 and 1053. Revealing a safe cell filters the compatible support.

After a safe reveal, gross quote = 0.96 × captured stake × initial support / current compatible support. The stake is deducted when the round starts. A mine returns zero gross. Manual banking is available after at least one safe reveal. Certain mines and cells whose safe quote would exceed 1000× stake are disabled. All safe cells revealed or no eligible cell remaining automatically banks the current quote. A certain-safe cell can remain eligible. With five mines, singleton support would quote 1010.88×, so that above-cap transition is disabled.

When to Seek Help

If you find that virtual gaming affects your mood or time management, consider taking a break. Responsible gaming means playing for enjoyment, not as a solution to stress.

  • Find appropriate local qualified help if you need support.
  • Check your local regulations for gambling age and legality.

No Operator Identity

This is an independent guide. The demo does not certify any outside product.

  • No licence, bonus, or payment method is established.
  • No KYC process exists.
  • No official app or verified package is claimed.

The demo belongs to this guide and is used for demonstration of mechanics.

Frequently asked questions

Does the demo collect my personal data?

The demo uses local storage for balance. It does not require login or payment. However, the absence of an account does not prove no personal data is processed elsewhere. The template declares a Google Fonts request.

Can I win real money in this demo?

No. The virtual coins have no cash value. The demo is for demonstration of mechanics and responsible play limits only.

How do I reset my balance?

If your balance is below 10 and you are idle, you can manually refill. This sets the balance to exactly 1000. Fractional carry is preserved.
