Responsible presentation review

A statistical observatory, not a casino.

The interface exposes assumptions and distributions. It cannot accept money, create value, or let a visitor influence any wager.

ZERO

Money or value

No deposits, withdrawals, purchases, prizes, credits, coupons, tokens, crypto-assets, or transferable balances.

ZERO

Visitor wagering

No bet, spin, deal, cash-out, game-choice, policy-change, or account-creation path. Public interfaces are read-only.

ZERO

Promotion

No affiliate links, operator advertising, bonuses, odds comparison, inducements, tips, or claims that a system beats the house.

Presentation safeguards

Context travels with the result.

  • Winner profiles include the full distribution and the same policy across 1,000 worlds.
  • Total allocated capital appears beside current bankroll.
  • Actual and theoretical RTP are labelled separately.
  • Colour is never the only chart encoding; tables and text summaries remain available.
  • No autoplay audio, urgent countdown, near-miss effect, flashing celebration, or reward loop.

Research ethics

Synthetic is not human evidence.

  • Policies are simplified state machines, not identifiable people.
  • No clinical or diagnostic claim follows from a synthetic cohort.
  • The six-month horizon is not a universal gambling trajectory.
  • Bankroll replenishment is an experimental device, not a statement about income cycles.
  • Any future human-participant or visitor-data study requires separate consent, privacy, and ethics review.
