No Account or Sign-In Required
The demo does not collect personal credentials for access. You do not need to create an account, verify an email address, or log in with a username and password. The interface presents a direct play environment where the virtual wallet is initialized and managed locally.
The absence of a sign-in interface does not imply that the underlying game logic or data processing is anonymous. It simply means that this specific demo instance does not enforce an authentication layer. Clearing cached files alone may leave localStorage intact. Clearing this site’s localStorage removes its saved wallet data.
Local Wallet Persistence and Restoration
Your virtual coin balance is stored in the browser's localStorage. This data persists through page reloads and browser restarts, provided the storage is not manually cleared by the user.
- Initial Balance: The demo starts with a balance of 1000 virtual coins.
- Manual Restoration: If the balance falls below 10 coins while the game is idle, you can manually restore the balance. This action sets the balance exactly to 1000. It does not add 1000 coins to your current total; it resets the value.
- Fractional Carry: Any fractional changes to the balance persist through settlement, manual refill, and reload. This means precise decimal values are preserved in local storage.
Unfinished Rounds and Reload Behavior
Because there is no server-side account to sync game state, the handling of interruptions is local.
- Reload During Play: If you reload the page or close the tab while a round is in progress (e.g., after staking but before the result is fully settled or displayed), the round ends without refund. The stake is lost, and the round does not resume upon return.
- Settled Balance: Once a round is settled, the resulting balance (including any winnings or losses) is saved to local storage. This settled balance persists until the next manual restoration or clear.
Note that this persistence is limited to the specific browser and device where the demo is loaded. There is no cross-device sync.
Controls and Game State
During active play, the interface locks certain controls to prevent conflicting inputs:
- Locked Controls: The stake selection, mode selection, and manual refill buttons are disabled. Sound controls remain available.
- No Auto/Stop/Cash-out: The demo uses a simple structure with one whole stake per complete draw. There is no automatic queue or early cash-out feature.
Data Storage and Privacy Observations
Local Storage: The game source uses localStorage to store the settled balance and fractional carry data. This data remains on your device until explicitly cleared.
Third-Party Requests: The template declares a Google Fonts stylesheet. While this is a standard web design element, it represents a network request to a third party. The full network capture of other potential tracking or data processing is not verified in this demo view.
Anonymity: The lack of a sign-in field does not guarantee anonymity. The browser's local storage is tied to your device, and other data processing may occur without your direct visibility in this demo interface.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to create an account to play Eight Unit Bins in this demo?
No. This browser demo has no account system. You do not need to sign in, verify an email, or provide personal details to access the game or the virtual wallet.
What happens to my balance if I reload the page during a game?
If you reload or close the tab while a round is unfinished, the round ends immediately without a refund. The balance saved after deducting the active stake is preserved; that stake is not refunded and the interrupted draw cannot resume.
How do I restore my virtual coins if I run out?
When your balance falls below 10 coins and you are idle, you can manually trigger a restoration. This action sets your balance to exactly 1000 coins. It does not add to your current balance; it resets it to the base amount.
