One seed, two identical boards
Before a match starts, the server derives the board — tile spawns, mine positions, card shuffle, bubble stream, or spin pattern — from a single server seed. Both players' games are generated from that same seed, so it is impossible for one player to be dealt an easier layout. The competition is purely who plays the shared conditions better.
The seed reveal
When the match ends, the server seed is revealed. Because the board is a deterministic function of the seed, revealing it lets you confirm that the board you played matches the seed that was committed — it was not swapped or tuned mid-match. This is the same commit-then-reveal pattern used by provably-fair systems generally.
Replay from recorded inputs
Alongside the seed, each match stores the recorded stream of player inputs. Feeding those inputs back through the same deterministic game produces the same final score, so a completed match can be independently replayed and verified. This record is what resolves disputes and feeds the anti-cheat anomaly scanning — evidence, not assumptions.
Why this matters for real-money play
On a platform where matches decide a pot, verifiability is the whole point. Shared seeds remove luck-based advantage, the seed reveal removes hidden tampering, and input replay removes ambiguity about who actually scored higher. Together they make each result auditable after the fact.
Frequently asked questions
What is a provably-fair seed?
It is a value the server commits to before the match and reveals after. Because the board is generated deterministically from the seed, revealing it lets you confirm the board was not altered mid-match.
Can I re-check the score of a finished match?
Yes. The recorded input stream plus the revealed seed let the match be replayed through the same deterministic game, reproducing the final score independently.
Does the same seed mean the same board for both players?
Yes. Both players' boards are derived from one shared seed, so neither can receive an easier layout. Skill on identical conditions decides the match.
