Well we have discussed the provably fair topic for a long time, during the development process. And we concluded that the only real proof is to make statistics with the transactions log. Everybody who knows statistic will very quick recognize if something is not fair on the casino.

As we don't have a payment for every bet we can't use hashes from transactions to generate random numbers.

We studied the „provably fair“ solutions on the Internet which came without such a transaction hash. Normally there are some hashes generated on the server and some on the client. Those calculate in a known algorithm and a huge documentation of all calculations give some feeling of proof.

Everybody who tried to generate a random number with a mathematical formula knows the challenge. In fact it is not possible. To generate a random number you need the most unpredictable event as possible what contradicts with the philosophy of math to predict everything. So we normally trigger physical events like the memory or CPU usage to make the random number less predictable.

To get the most unpredictable random number for diceeno.com we have implemented a hardware application which measures the noise on a Diode junction. With that we initialize our random generator. This gives us a very realistic distribution of random numbers. The prove of that lies in making statistics.

We won't give the feeling of a proved security because this just does not exists. The only proof that a casino is fair lies in the played games. And we hope that the users make their statistics while playing and check the fairness of every casino they use and don't just believe in some white papers distributed by the casino owner never certified by a third instance.
