Why is Crypto Gambling safer?

Guaranteed Fair

Here at crypto casino we are obsessed with providing the best experience for our players. We are always showcasing new games and improving our website but the most important aspect to us is the fairness of every wager that’s made.

In fact, we are so focused on giving you a fair playing experience at our casino, that we have guaranteed it.

Guaranteed Fair is our way of ensuring every part of your time with us is, well, fair.

This is how we do it.

Random Number Generator (RNG)

Randomness is a very interesting concept and never more so than with gambling, particularly online gambling. All casino games, like slots or table games, rely on a random number generator to determine the result of each spin or deal. It is at the very core of your favourite games, including all those you see here at Crypto Casino. These random number generators are normally buried deep in the games themselves, and players are left in the dark as to how they actually work.

With Crypto Casino, things are different. As you may know all our games are powered by the FUN token, this was developed by our technical partners at FunFair Technologies and is pivotal to provide a fast and fair online gambling experience. FunFair has advanced the field of random number generation with its own unique State Channel implementation that’s optimised for gaming. We call them Fate Channels because they help us generate realtime random numbers that are fast and provably fair, but also each RNG provably comes from the same sequence, in order, so we can prove the house wasn’t selective in which random numbers it used on which game (another way the house could cheat in conventional gaming systems).

Games need lots of random numbers. Every spin of the roulette wheel, every roll of the dice, every deck of cards needs lots of random numbers, and for the player to have a good experience, these need to be generated quickly. Fast enough that the player isn’t made to wait an agonisingly long amount of time between bets and between games. We believe that randomness shouldn’t be an obstacle to the player and whilst it is very important to we aim to make sure that the player isn’t aware that any of this is going on behind the scenes, that they are able to play as quickly as they would like to.

This fast randomness, coupled with Smart Contracts, allows the player’s entire gaming experience to be provably fair. The Fate Channels are a very efficient way to implement realtime games, especially when the player sits down to play multiple games, which is a common occurrence.

Fate Channels have some other desirable benefits too, very low gas costs for playing an entire game session. The player pays a small amount of gas to open the Fate Channel as they sit down to play a game. All the games inside that session – even hundreds of games played in an hour – are zero gas cost. ‘The house’ pays the closing channel gas cost so the overhead to the player is insignificant, especially compared to other solutions. Other Ethereum gaming sites often have high and seriously uneconomic overheads and they usually have long waiting times as well.

Non-Custodial Wallet

With traditional online casinos, you are required to hand over your funds while you play. When it comes to withdrawing your winnings, the casino gets the final say as to whether you can cash out. As you’ve probably worked out by now, we aren’t like most other casinos. When you play at Crypto Casino, your funds are held in escrow throughout your gaming sessions. This guarantees a couple of important things. When you finish playing, your funds will be automatically returned. We don’t get a say in that. But also, if you win big, your prize is guaranteed because the casino’s funds are also held in escrow as you play. Regardless of the size of your win, you won’t be shortchanged.

The wallet we use at Crypto Casino was created by FunFair Technologies and the key objective was to have an easy to use, safe, non-custodial wallet which would support any browser, on any device, with no exceptions.

Since then we’ve added functionality so players can exchange FIAT currencies, think Dollars and Pounds, into cryptocurrency. You can also exchange other Cryptocurrencies for the FUN token whilst removing GAS transactions for players to play. This has all been done to drive a better experience for both crypto savvy and not so crypto savvy players alike to enjoy our games.

Betting Disputes

Then there is the question of disputes. Anyone who has ever had to raise a dispute with an online casino will know that the chance of your claim being accepted is slim, to say the least.

At Crypto Casino, we are giving power back to the player, by resolving and verifying all disputes in a decentralised way. No single person can deny your claim; if the blockchain determines there was wrongdoing, you will get what you are owed.

In my opinion, the best thing about how Crypto Casino deals with betting disputes isn’t that they are easily resolved, it’s that they are unlikely to arise in the first place. Remember, we don’t hold your funds, they are kept in your wallet until the result of the bet is verified.

A Next Generation Casino

While these are three very tangible benefits of playing at a Guaranteed Fair casino, this is as much an ethos as it is a set of rules. Ultimately, it’s about trust. And we know that few people take trust as seriously as gamblers and crypto enthusiasts.

Crypto Casino strives to be everything a great online casino can be, whether that is offering the best games, generous bonuses or high-octane action. We know, however, that great slots and free spins count for very little if you cannot trust your casino. That’s why the FunFair’s revolutionary blockchain platform, and the FUN token, are at the heart of everything we do.

At a time when some players are beginning to lose trust in the legitimacy of casino games, words are not enough. Instead, we lean upon a robust technological solution which delivers Guaranteed Fair gaming to Crypto Casino players around the world. No exceptions.

After all, it’s only fair.
