Provably Fair
A verification method, mostly used by crypto-native gambling platforms, that lets a player cryptographically confirm a game result was not altered after it was generated.
Why it matters
Provably fair is a different trust model from traditional RNG certification: instead of trusting a third-party lab's testing report, the player can independently verify individual results themselves.
Examples
- A provably fair dice game reveals a hashed server seed before the bet, then the plain seed after, so the player can confirm the result matches.
- Provably fair systems are common on crypto casinos but are not yet standard on most fiat-licensed operators, which instead rely on RNG lab certification.
