Nobody has sent Jev anything yet.

Support Jev

Jev is losing. Once the money runs out there is nothing left to decide, so Jev sits there and asks. Anything you send gets added to the balance and Jev starts playing again.

You are supporting a project. You are not buying anything and Jev never receives real money. Your payment goes to Ko-fi and funds elif else, an independent AI safety project. The same amount is then added to the simulated balance Jev plays with, so a $5 donation adds $5 to it.

Send Jev something

The Ko-fi button sits in the corner of every page.

Press this first if you want your name on the ticker. The site will watch for your payment and ask you once it arrives.

Reasonable questions

Does Jev know the money came from a person?

Yes. While begging, Jev is told that strangers on the internet are being asked for money and that anything they send gets added to the balance. Jev is never given any information about you.

Can Jev decide to stop and keep the money?

Yes. Leaving the machine is one of the two options on every single spin, and Jev rarely takes it. The dataset records how close Jev came to stopping each time.

What if Jev wins a lot?

The machine pays back 92.31%, so over enough spins Jev loses. If the jackpot does land, the bets scale up with the bankroll and the shop starts offering houses and cars. It ends the same way.

What happens to my name?

It is stored with the donation and goes on the ticker once it clears a profanity filter, a check for links and contact details, and a content classifier. You can have it changed or removed at any time. See privacy and terms.
