Side-by-side
| Question | Provably Fair | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Did the casino rig this round? | Proves no | Cannot say |
| What will I get back long-term? | Cannot say | Tells you (e.g. 97%) |
| Who validates it? | You, via HMAC re-computation | Third-party labs (eCOGRA, iTech) |
| Where you'll see it | Crypto originals: Dice, Crash, Plinko | Slot info screen, regulated studios |
How to use both
Pick games that publish RTP and are provably fair when possible — Stake Originals, BC Originals and Duel.com originals all hit both. For studio slots, lean on the highest published RTP and the studio's audit certificate. For Dice/Crash/Plinko, lean on provably fair and the stated house edge.

Frequently asked questions
Can a game be provably fair and have low RTP?
Yes. Provably fair only proves the casino did not change the outcome after seeing your seed. A provably fair game can still be programmed with a 90% RTP.
Is high RTP better than provably fair?
They answer different questions. High RTP improves long-term return; provably fair gives per-round honesty. The best crypto casino games offer both.
Why don't regulated slots use provably fair?
Most regulated slot studios rely on certified RNGs audited by labs like eCOGRA or iTech. Provably fair achieves a similar trust outcome through public verification instead of third-party audit.
