What is Provably Fair?
The complete guide to understanding provably fair technology in crypto casinos
The Problem with Traditional Casinos
In traditional online casinos, you have to trust that the casino is being fair. You can't verify if the dice roll, card shuffle, or slot spin was truly random. The casino could manipulate results, and you'd never know.
Provably fair technology solves this problem using cryptographic hashing. It allows you to mathematically verify that every game result was fair and not manipulated.
How Provably Fair Works
1. Server Seed Generated
Casino generates a random server seed and creates a SHA-256 hash. The hash is shown to you BEFORE you bet.
2. You Choose Client Seed
You provide your own random client seed. This ensures the casino cannot manipulate the outcome.
3. Game Result Calculated
Server seed + Client seed + Nonce are combined and hashed to generate the game result. Pure mathematics.
4. Verify Anytime
After the bet, the server seed is revealed. You can verify the hash matches and the result is fair.
Real Example: Crash Game
After the game, the server seed is revealed. You can verify the hash matches and recalculate the result yourself!
