Provably Fair — How Stake Verifies Fairness
What provably fair means, how it works on Stake.com, and how to verify any game result yourself. The definitive guide to understanding Stake's transparency system.
Quick Answer
What is provably fair gaming?
Provably fair is a cryptographic system that lets players independently verify that casino game results are genuinely random. Stake.com uses it for all Stake Originals. Before each bet, a hashed server seed is provided. After the bet, the seed is revealed — and any player can verify it matches, confirming no manipulation occurred.
Key Facts
- All Stake Originals are provably fair — Crash, Dice, Limbo, Mines, Plinko, etc.
- Uses SHA-256 cryptographic hashing
- Players contribute a client seed to the randomness process
- Results cannot be manipulated by Stake or the player
- Every result can be independently verified in the account
How Provably Fair Works on Stake
How Provably Fair Works — Step by Step
| Step | Who Acts | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Stake | Generates a random server seed and hashes it using SHA-256 |
| 2 | Stake → Player | The hashed server seed is shown to the player before the bet |
| 3 | Player | Player can set a custom client seed (or use the default) |
| 4 | System | Both seeds + nonce (bet number) are combined to generate the game outcome |
| 5 | Stake | After the bet, the full (unhashed) server seed is revealed |
| 6 | Player | Player hashes the revealed server seed and confirms it matches the original hash |
| 7 | Player | Player recalculates the game outcome using the seeds — confirms no manipulation |
This system makes manipulation impossible because the hash commitment is made before the bet and cannot be changed without detection.
