By using 8mlia.com (Birth Lottery), you accept the terms below. If you don't accept them, you're free not to use the site. We've kept the text short; if anything is unclear, you can write to liamedia@tik4k.com.
What the site is
Birth Lottery is a game and an educational simulation. The characters, names and events are fiction. The population data used in the background is based on UN and World Bank sources, but the values are approximate and rounded; the model doesn't mirror real life one to one. No result in the game counts as a prediction about your real life, health or future, or anyone else's.
Not advice
Nothing on the site is medical, financial, legal or psychological advice. For your health, money decisions or a legal matter, consult a qualified professional. The information in our articles is provided for general information only.
Content note and age limit
The game deals with heavy subjects such as illness, poverty, conflict and death. These subjects appear in the fiction because they are part of reality around the world, and they're not used for sensationalism. The site is suitable for users aged 13 and over. If these subjects might upset you, you may prefer not to play.
Rules of use
You're free to use the site for personal, non-commercial purposes, including in education. Please don't:
- Attempt to harm the site, overload it or get around its security (including automated bulk requests).
- Abuse the AI story feature or try to get around its limits.
- Use the nickname in a challenge link to insult or harass others or to spread illegal content.
Shared links
Challenge links contain the nickname typed by the person who created the link. The person who wrote that name is responsible for its content; since we don't store links on our server, we can't review their content in advance. If you see an offensive name in a link from someone you don't know, you can choose not to open it and report it to us.
AI-generated text
The "Turn my life into a story" feature produces a short story written by an AI model. This text may be inaccurate, inconsistent or unexpected. It isn't based on real events and shouldn't be used as a source of information. Reading the story before you share it is your responsibility.
Intellectual property
The site's design, code and text belong to the 8mlia.com team. You may quote short passages from the articles on the site with attribution. You may not copy the texts and images in full and publish them elsewhere without permission. The data sources (UN WPP 2024 and the World Bank) are subject to their own licences.
Provision of the service and limitation of liability
We provide the site "as is". We don't guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or always available. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we can't be held liable for indirect damages arising from the use of the site or the inability to use it. We're also not responsible for the content of external links on the site (Google, Anthropic, etc.). These terms don't remove any liability we have under mandatory law.
Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. The current text is always on this page, and the date at the top shows the latest change. If you keep using the site after a change, that means you accept the updated terms.
