What is a provably fair system and how does it work?
A provably fair system is a method used to demonstrate the fairness of the games, and to provide the users with ability to independently verify the integrity of each game's outcome, ensuring transparency and trustworthiness.
Provably fair systems typically utilize cryptographic algorithms, such as hashing and digital signatures, to ensure fairness. When a game round begins, the system generates a random seed, which is used to determine the outcome of the game. This seed is usually a combination of server-side and client-side elements, ensuring that neither party can manipulate the result.
How can I verify the fairness of a Battle?
Once a battle ends, you’ll receive the following data:
- Private Seed
- EOS Hash
- Public Seed
- EOS Block
- Game ID
To verify the battle result:
- Go to Battle Verifier located in the Fairness section of our site
- paste the battle ID in the designated field to see its details
- Click on "FortuneBox.com Battle verifier" link (located below the tie ticket)
- Click on "Verify Game"
- Compare and confirm legitimacy of your game
This process ensures that every battle result is authentic and tamper-proof.
How can I verify the fairness of a Box opening?
Our unboxing system is also powered by provably fair technology, allowing you to independently confirm every result.
Here’s how it works:
Before each game starts, we generate a server seed (a random string). We then show you the hashed version of this seed — the server hash — proving the seed was generated before the game and cannot be changed afterward.
You can set your own client seed (your personal random string) and send it to us.
The final result — a number between 0 and 1,000,000 — is calculated using:
- The server seed
- Your client seed
- A nonce — a counter that starts at 1 and increases with every unboxing or spin.
After the game, you can verify that the server seed used matches the server hash you were shown beforehand. This confirms the integrity of your result.
To maintain fairness, we rotate the server seed after every unboxing, resetting the nonce to 1 for each round.
What are the benefits of a provably fair system?
Provably fair systems offer several benefits to players and gaming platforms alike. These include:
Transparency: Players can independently verify the fairness of each game, fostering trust and confidence in the platform.
Integrity: By utilizing cryptographic techniques, provably fair systems prevent manipulation or tampering with game outcomes.
Accountability: Gaming platforms are held accountable for ensuring fair gameplay, as their systems are subject to scrutiny by players and auditors.
What happens if my screen freezes while opening a Box or taking a part in the Battle?
Our provably fair system determines the win the moment the animation starts. So even if you leave the site or lose connection you will still be credited with the relevant reward, and able to check Box opening / Battle details afterwards.

Where can I see Provably Fair details of a specific Box opening?
You can access the Box opening Provably Fair details from two places:
Option 1:
Before the game begins, you can preview fairness details of each Box by clicking on the Provably Fair "shield" icon (located in the right top corner of the Box page).
You will be able to preview:
- Hashed Server Seed
- Client Seed Nonce
- Client Seed
You can change your Client Seed in this section, by simply inputting the new desired value in the designated field, and clicking "Update" to confirm.
