What is Provably Fair Technology?
Provably Fair is a cryptographic technology that allows players to verify the fairness of every game result independently. Unlike traditional online casinos where you must trust the operator, Provably Fair gives you mathematical proof that:
Game Results Are Random
Prove that outcomes weren't manipulated
Seeds Are Not Changed
Verify server seed wasn't altered post-game
House Edge Is Accurate
Confirm stated RTP matches actual odds
🎯 Key Components:
- Client Seed: Random string generated by your browser
- Server Seed: Random string generated by Duel Casino
- Server Seed Hash: SHA256 hash of server seed (shown before game)
- Nonce: Incremental number for each bet
- HMAC-SHA256: Algorithm that combines seeds to generate result
Simple Analogy: Think of it like a sealed envelope. Duel Casino shows you the envelope's seal (hash) before the game. After the game, they reveal the contents (server seed) and you can verify it matches the seal.
How Provably Fair Works at Duel Casino
Before Game Starts
Duel Casino generates a server seed and shows you its SHA256 hash. You provide a client seed (random string from your browser). The server seed hash is like a sealed envelope - you can see the seal but not the contents.
During Game Play
Each bet uses an incremental nonce (starting from 1). The game result is calculated using HMAC-SHA256 algorithm combining: server seed + client seed + nonce. This ensures every bet has a unique, unpredictable result.
After Game Ends
Duel Casino reveals the original server seed. You can now verify that:
- The revealed server seed matches the previously shown hash
- Using this seed with your client seed and nonce produces the game result
- The house edge calculation is correct
Verification Process
You can verify fairness using:
- Duel Casino's built-in verifier (in game history)
- Third-party verification tools (browser extensions)
- Manual calculation using cryptographic libraries
If any verification fails, the game was manipulated and you have cryptographic proof.
🔐 Security Guarantee:
Duel Casino cannot cheat because they show the server seed hash BEFORE games start. If they change the server seed after seeing your bet, the hash won't match. This is mathematically impossible to fake without breaking SHA256 encryption, which would require more computing power than exists on Earth.

📈 Why Provably Fair Matters:
Traditional online gambling has a trust problem. Players must rely on casino licenses, third-party audits, and regulatory bodies. Provably Fair eliminates this trust requirement entirely through mathematics and cryptography. It's the difference between having to trust someone versus being able to verify for yourself.
Duel Casino's implementation goes beyond basic Provably Fair - they provide user-friendly verification tools, detailed documentation, and even API access for developers to build their own verification systems.
Provably Fair FAQ
No, you don't need to verify every single bet. The beauty of Provably Fair is that you can verify any bet you want, not that you must verify every bet. Most players verify a few random bets to confirm the system works, then trust that the mathematical guarantees apply to all bets.
Mathematically impossible. To cheat, Duel Casino would need to:
- Predict your client seed (randomly generated by your browser)
- Find a server seed that produces desired outcome AND matches pre-shown hash (SHA256 collision attack)
- Do this for every bet in real-time
This requires breaking SHA256 encryption, which is computationally infeasible with current technology.
Duel Casino automatically generates a new client seed for each session, and you can manually change it anytime. Using the same client seed doesn't affect fairness - it just means results are deterministic based on that seed. For maximum security, change your client seed periodically or let Duel Casino generate random ones for you.
Yes! Duel Casino provides a complete API and cryptographic specifications. You can write verification scripts in Python, JavaScript, or any language with cryptographic libraries. Many open-source verifiers are available on GitHub. This is encouraged and demonstrates the true transparency of the system.
No. Provably Fair guarantees fairness, not wins. The house edge (1% for most Duel Casino games) is mathematically guaranteed. You can verify that the stated RTP is accurate, but you'll still lose approximately 1% of total bets over the long run (like any casino game). Provably Fair ensures losses are due to probability, not manipulation.
Duel Casino's mobile interface includes the same verification tools as desktop. Go to Game History, select any bet, and tap "Verify". You can also use third-party mobile verifier apps or access the verification API through mobile browsers. The process is identical across all platforms.
