Stake Poker uses provably fair technology, allowing players to independently verify that card dealing is truly random and hasn't been manipulated. This is a major advantage of blockchain-based poker.
This guide explains how Stake Poker ensures game fairness, how you can verify results, and why this matters for your poker experience.
Key Information
Step-by-Step Guide
Understand provably fair basics
Provably fair uses cryptographic hashing to commit to random outcomes before cards are dealt. After each hand, you can verify the hash to confirm no manipulation occurred.
Find the verification tool
Look for a "Provably Fair" or "Verify" option in Stake Poker's settings or hand history. This lets you check past hands.
Check a hand result
Select a hand from your history and use the verification tool. It will show the server seed, client seed, and nonce used to generate the outcome.
Independently verify
You can use third-party provably fair verification tools to independently confirm that the hash matches the outcome. This proves the cards weren't manipulated.
