## The short answer

"Provably fair" means a casino **commits to the outcome data before you bet**, then gives you everything you need to **recalculate the result yourself** afterwards. If the numbers match, the casino couldn't have changed the result after seeing your bet.

> **Key takeaways**
> - Look for a published *hashed* server seed, an editable client seed, and a nonce.
> - You can verify results with any SHA-256 / HMAC tool — you don't have to trust the site's own verifier.
> - Provably fair proves results weren't altered. It does **not** change the house edge.

## The three ingredients

1. **Server seed** — a random secret generated by the casino. Before you play, it shows you only the **SHA-256 hash** of this seed, which locks it in.
2. **Client seed** — a value you control. Changing it means the casino can't pre-compute results for you.
3. **Nonce** — a counter that goes up by one with each bet, so every round is unique.

The game result is typically derived from `HMAC_SHA256(server_seed, client_seed:nonce)`, converted into a number and mapped to the game (a crash point, a mine layout, a card, and so on).

## How to verify a result

1. Before playing, note the **hashed server seed** and set your own **client seed**.
2. Play some rounds.
3. **Rotate** (reveal) the server seed in the fairness settings.
4. Hash the revealed server seed with SHA-256 and confirm it matches the hash you were shown earlier.
5. Recalculate a round using the site's published formula and confirm the result matches.

## What provably fair does not tell you

- It doesn't tell you the **house edge** — check each game's stated RTP.
- It doesn't guarantee the site will **pay out**. That's why we weigh licensing, track record and real withdrawal tests just as heavily in [how we rate](/how-we-rate/).

## Frequently asked questions

### Is provably fair the same as a license?

No. Provable fairness is a technical guarantee about game results. A license is a legal framework covering the operator. The best sites have both.

### Can a provably fair site still be unsafe?

Yes. A site can run fair games and still delay or refuse withdrawals. Always check payout history and reviews before depositing.
