No Account, No Personal Data
To play the demo, you do not need to sign up or provide an email address. The platform does not collect your name, phone number, or location unless you choose to share it voluntarily. Because there is no user account, there is no central database holding your personal information. This means your privacy is preserved even if you access the game through various links. The experience is designed to be frictionless and private. You are essentially a guest, and your identity remains unknown to the site operators.
Local Storage for Game Data
When you play the Mines game, your settings (like the number of mines or stake size) and your virtual coin balance are stored in your browser’s local storage. This data is saved only on your specific device and browser. It is not synced to any external servers. If you clear the browser’s site data, or switch devices, this data resets. This is different from the real-money experience where game history is synced to your account. It ensures that your gaming preferences remain private to your device, but you lose them if you clear your cache.
Key Points to Remember
- No Sync: Your game state is not saved in the cloud.
- Device Specific: Playing on a phone won’t continue your desktop progress.
- Clear Data: Clearing browser history will erase your virtual balance.
Anonymous Analytics
The site uses a simple analytics counter to track general traffic patterns, such as how many people visit the page or which games are most popular. This counter is anonymous; it does not use persistent cookies that identify you personally or track your behavior across other websites. It simply counts visits to help improve the demo experience. You do not need to accept a complex cookie banner to play, as minimal tracking is used. This approach respects your privacy while allowing the site to function smoothly. Even if you play multiple rounds of the Mines game, the analytics typically only record that a game was played, not your specific win/loss details.
