Disclaimer: I'm not accusing them of rigging games, stealing money or anything like that. From what I can tell their reputation is pretty decent and they've been around for a very long time. They also claim to be fixing things so that they are provably fair. If they immediately remove their false claims (which would be an easy fix), or make their claims not false, I think it would be reasonable to remove negative feedback.
Cryptoslots.com claims "All games at CryptoSlots.com are Provably Fair", but they're not. When I explained why they were not provably fair, they agreed with me and said they're happy with "natural payback" of their games, they are very trusted, they would never cheat anyone, yadda yadda yadda. It's been a week since I brought it to their attention.Profile Link: Cryptoslots CasinoMy explanationTheir response
How their provably fair system is flawed:
Video Poker
https://www.cryptoslots.com/en/provably-fair/video-pokerThey 'shuffle' the deck behind the scenes and then use a player seed of 1-52 to 'cut' the deck.
While the player seed does affect the outcome of the game, it doesn't prove that the game is fair. No more than 10 cards out of 52 will ever be used so, for example, if they wanted to make it impossible for a player to get a royal flush, all they have to do is check and see if T, J, Q, K, A of the same suit are all within 10 cards and if so, re shuffle or simply swap out one of them with another card before each hand.
Slot Machines
https://www.cryptoslots.com/en/provably-fair/slot-machinesThere's no RTP posted, so there really isn't much to prove. What they do prove is that each spin the player will have at least a 1 in 9 chance of not losing their entire bet.
They randomly generate 9 different slot outcomes behind the scenes and make sure that at least one of them is a winner (they don't define 'winner'). The player chooses a number from 1-9 to determine which outcome they get. Afterwards they can see there was at least a 1 in 9 chance of 'winning' something.
Like video poker, they could easily be manipulating the 9 possible outcomes before each spin and it would be impossible to verify.
It really won't look good if you continue to list your games as provably fair when they're not.
Why not just remove the claims from your site while you work on developing a system that's actually provably fair?
Cause why do that when you can just SAY your games are provable fair and then get users to beleive you because no one actually checks anything and they just blindly trust the fact that when they see provably fair, they assume that the company is not scum enough to lie about it. /s if ya needed it.
This is VERY VERY scum, just implement a real system of probvavly fair or people are going to be left with a bad taste in their mouth when they find out this is a lie. Literally all you're getting out of this is short term gain for long term loss of your entire business. Be smart about this.
Hi TwichySeal and Squatz1,
First of all I would like to note that we are not trying to conduct any scam. We have been operating online casinos since 1998 which proves that we put maximum emphasis on trust and reputation. When we implemented the current Provably fair system of our games, we wanted to maintain the complexity of slot machines but also we tried to make the Provably fair system understandable to the majority of players. From my position I can confirm, that our players enjoy "playing" with the client seed settings and checking the results. Therefore we succeeded in being understandable, presenting this system to regular online casino visitors but with the trade offs you point out.
You are right, that the video poker provably fair mechanism could be exploited by an unfair operator and we are already planning on making changes that will prevent that (client seed will be used during the deck shuffling). Nevertheless I would like to assure you that we are happy with the natural payback of our video games, we would be crazy to cheat our customers.
We are also planning on creating a page that will show actual payback of our slot machines as this info will be useful to our players.
