1. Introduction
This page explains how we test game fairness and the operation of the random number generator (RNG) on the StawkiBet platform. Our goal is maximum transparency of game processes, so every player can be confident the results are fair.
The random number generator is the heart of any gambling platform: it determines the outcome of all casino games. We use certified systems that regularly undergo independent testing and audit under the industry's international standards.
2. What a random number generator is
A random number generator (RNG) is an algorithm that produces a sequence of numbers with no predictable pattern. In an online casino the RNG determines the result of every slot spin, every card deal, every dice roll and any other game events.
The RNG runs continuously and generates thousands of numbers per second, even when no one is playing. The moment you press "spin" or "deal", the system takes the number generated right then and turns it into a game result under the rules of the specific game.
3. Types of random number generators
The gambling industry uses two main types of generators.
3.1. Pseudo-random generators (PRNG)
Pseudo-random generators build "seemingly random" sequences using mathematical algorithms. At the core are a seed value and complex formulas that make the result practically impossible to predict.
PRNGs are the most common type in online games: they are fast, efficient and, when implemented correctly, give enough randomness for fair play. Modern PRNGs use cryptographic algorithms, which makes them extremely reliable.
3.2. True random generators (TRNG)
True random generators rely on physical processes — atmospheric noise, radioactive decay, quantum phenomena — and produce fully random numbers. The entropy source here is real, so the result is genuinely unpredictable.
TRNGs usually serve as a source of seed values for PRNGs or are used where maximum randomness is required. They are slower than PRNGs but give the highest level of unpredictability.
4. How the RNG works on our platform
We use certified random number generators from leading game-software providers. Each provider has its own RNG that has passed independent testing and certification in international labs.
The result is formed as follows: the RNG constantly generates numbers even when a game is inactive; when the player starts an event, the system captures the current number; it is turned into a game result by a special algorithm; the result is shown to the player and credited to the account. The whole process takes milliseconds and is fully automated, with no way to interfere.
5. Testing and certification
The fairness and randomness of our RNG are regularly checked by independent test labs with international recognition in the industry.
5.1. Independent test labs
Our games and random number generators are tested by accredited labs, including:
- eCOGRA (eCommerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance)
- iTech Labs
- GLI (Gaming Laboratories International)
- BMM Testlabs
- TST (Technical Systems Testing)
These organisations analyse RNG algorithms in detail, check the distribution of results, look for patterns and bias, assess compliance with international standards and issue fairness certificates.
5.2. Testing methods
Labs apply various statistical methods. The chi-square test checks whether the distribution of generated numbers matches the expected theoretical one. The runs test looks for unwanted patterns in sequences.
The poker test assesses the distribution of combinations in sequences. The gap test checks the intervals between the appearance of certain values. The autocorrelation test reveals dependence between numbers. Spectral analysis finds periodicities and patterns in the data. All tests are run on millions of numbers so the results are statistically significant.
6. Industry standards
Our random number generators meet the strictest international standards, which guarantees fairness and unpredictability of results.
6.1. Technical standards
We follow the standards of leading regulators and organisations:
- GLI-19 — the standard for interactive gaming systems
- UK Gambling Commission technical standards
- Malta Gaming Authority requirements for RNGs
- ISO/IEC 20543 — the standard for random number generators
- NIST — statistical randomness tests
Compliance with these standards is checked annually at scheduled audits, and also unscheduled — at regulators' request or on player complaints.
6.2. Randomness requirements
For an RNG to be considered fair, it must meet a number of criteria: each outcome has an equal probability under the game rules; past results do not affect future ones; the next result cannot be predicted from previous ones; the result cannot be changed after the game starts; there is no cyclicity or patterns in the sequence.
Our systems are regularly checked against all these criteria so that every player has equal chances of winning regardless of game history, bet size or any other factors.
7. Checking game fairness
We give players the ability to check game fairness themselves through transparency and verification mechanisms.
7.1. Certificates and reports
The site provides certificates from independent labs confirming the fairness of the games. You can view test reports, payout figures (RTP) for each game, winnings-distribution statistics and the dates of the latest audits.
The authenticity of any certificate is verified on the issuers' sites. We update this data annually or more often — if additional checks take place or games are updated.
7.2. Return to Player (RTP)
Each game shows an RTP (Return to Player) figure — what percentage of all bets theoretically returns to players as winnings over the long run. For example, an RTP of 96% means that out of 100 units of bets, on average 96 return to players and 4 make up the casino's edge.
RTP is calculated over millions of rounds and does not guarantee a specific result over a short stretch. In a single session you may win much more or lose more than the RTP shows, but over the long run results approach this value.
8. Technical protection against manipulation
The platform uses multi-layer protection to rule out any attempts to influence game results or the RNG's operation.
8.1. Cryptographic protection
Data exchange between the game server and the player's device is encrypted with SSL/TLS protocols. Generation results are signed with a digital signature so they cannot be changed in transit. Cryptographically strong algorithms are used for seed values.
The logging system records all events, including every number generation and game result, with an immutable timestamp. Logs are kept in secure storage and used to investigate disputes or for audit.
8.2. System isolation
The servers with the random number generators are physically and logically isolated from the platform's other systems. Access to them is strictly limited and controlled. RNG algorithms can only be changed after multi-level authorisation and a mandatory follow-up audit.
Game servers run in an isolated environment with no direct internet access. Any configuration or software changes are logged and subject to internal and external audit.
9. Provably Fair and demonstrable fairness
Some games on the platform support Provably Fair technology, which lets you mathematically verify the fairness of each round.
9.1. How Provably Fair works
The technology is built on cryptography. Before a round the server generates a random number and shows the player its cryptographic hash. The player adds their own random number or an action that affects the result.
The server combines its number with the player's input and determines the outcome. After the round the server reveals its seed number. The player can confirm that the hash matches the revealed number and that the result was correctly calculated from both numbers.
9.2. Verifying results
For Provably Fair games you get everything needed to verify: the server's initial hash, your client number, the combined seed, the final result and the calculation algorithm. Using online tools or your own scripts, you can independently confirm the result was fair.
Detailed verification instructions are available for each such game. We encourage players to use this option — for their own peace of mind and confidence in the platform.
10. Regular audits and checks
The platform undergoes regular internal and external audits to maintain the highest standards of fairness and security.
10.1. Scheduled audits
Every year we conduct a full audit of all RNG systems by independent labs. Every quarter — an internal technical audit and a log review. Every month we analyse payout and result-distribution statistics.
The results of scheduled audits are documented and kept per regulators' requirements. If any deviations from the standards are found, immediate corrective action is taken and the causes are investigated.
10.2. Unscheduled checks
In addition to scheduled ones, unscheduled checks are possible — for complaints about game fairness, suspicious patterns in winnings statistics, RNG software updates, regulators' requirements, technical incidents or failures.
We take every complaint about game fairness seriously; it may lead to a detailed investigation involving independent experts.
11. Transparency of statistics
We stand for full transparency of game results and provide detailed statistics to all players of the platform.
11.1. General platform statistics
The site provides summary statistics: overall RTP across all games, distribution of winnings by category, the largest payouts over a period, the number of rounds and active players, the average winning size and other figures.
This statistics is updated monthly and open to everyone. It helps players understand the platform's dynamics and make informed decisions.
11.2. Personal statistics
Each player has access to detailed statistics of their activity: the history of all bets and results, personal RTP, the distribution of wins and losses, balance charts over time, the largest wins and losses, and an analysis of gaming behaviour.
This data helps keep the game under control, analyse strategy and stick to responsible-gaming principles. You can export your statistics for your own analysis or reporting.
12. What to do if you have doubts
If you have doubts about game fairness or RNG operation, you have several options.
12.1. Contacting support
First, write to support with a detailed description of the situation. Provide round numbers, the date and time, the specific games and other details. The team will check the specified rounds, explain the game mechanics and RNG operation, and if needed involve technical specialists.
Most doubts arise from a misunderstanding of probability and statistics — which is normal for gambling. Our specialists will gladly explain any aspect of how the games work.
12.2. A verification request
If doubts remain after support's reply, you have the right to officially request an independent check of specific sessions. We will pass the request to a test lab: it will analyse the rounds in detail, check the logs and RNG operation, assess how the results match statistical expectations and give an independent conclusion.
Such a check may take several weeks but provides an objective assessment from an independent third party.
13. User education
We consider it important to explain to players how random number generators and gambling statistics work.
13.1. Common misconceptions
Many players have misconceptions about how the RNG works. "Hot" and "cold" streaks are a normal part of randomness, not a sign of manipulation. Past results do not affect future ones: each round is independent. Raising the bet does not increase the chance of winning in games with a fixed RTP.
Long losing streaks are statistically normal and do not mean the game "owes" a win. The RNG does not "remember" past results and cannot be "hot" or "cold". Understanding these principles helps you view results more soberly and avoid frustration.
13.2. Educational materials
We give players various learning materials: articles on probability theory and statistics, videos about how the RNG works, interactive randomness simulators, a glossary of terms, and tips on responsible gaming and bankroll management.
These materials are free for everyone and are regularly updated to reflect new questions and technologies in the industry.
