Verifiable Fairness

Provable fairness plays a vital role in our game model as we stick to the concept of bringing fairness to all of our players. Endless Poker self proves its transparency and fairness, and the following is how you can check on the results of each game.

After each round of the game, the player would be able to verify that game by clicking on the “fairness” button in our navbar:

This window contains all related information about the round of game you just played. Before each round starts, each player will get a hashed server seed. With this hashed server seed and the plaintext of the house seed we provide at the end of each game, you would be able to verify that the house seed remains unchanged throughout the game. The hashed server seed and user’s seed can be both checked on blockchain browser.

The results of each hand are determined by the random seed, which is constructed by both user’s seed and the server seed. The random seed is mixed with these two elements where can’t be changed and is irreversible, and it can also be traced on blockchain browser as well.
