Re: Is this considered cheating? or Ilegal?

Hello, This happened to me today, on a provably fair Dice Bitcoin gambling site I lost some money, then I checked my bets using an online verifier, in their website they say they use SHA512 algorithm to hash server seed, however, when they revealed the unhashed server seed I checked it using a SHA512 calculator... It should match the hashed server seed they provided to me, however, it does not match.
This is cheating.

So the hashed SHA512 of the server seed is different from the hashed server seed they gave to me when I started my session. Isn't that considered cheating? I mean they probably are calculating right the dice value, however, the only fact of having wrong information on their provably fair statement should be enough for a legal complaint, shouldn't it?

Please someone tell me if it is enough to put some lawyers to work, or if it would be just a waste of time. Thanks!
Its your call whether you want to pursue this case, it will take a lot of your time and your money. You have to think if this is the right move or not. Maybe the best thing to do is write a Scam Accusations and see how it goes.

Using Scam Accusations will take attention from the owner to answer the curiosity from him. Before he does that, I think he can ask the owner or someone who has responsibility about that, so at least he can have an answer about what is going on with their site. If that does not help, maybe he needs other people to help him to solve the problem. But that will require an effort to pursue that case, and if his money is not big, I don't think that is worth his time.
