Wixiplay: A provably rigged online casino

Summary: sometimes the server_seed_hash doesn't match the server_seed and you always lose those rounds. Which is a shame because I could have beat this casino's loss rebate for five figures an hour if it wasn't rigged.
Before we can define how provable fairness works we first have to define a hash function. A hash function can be any any function such that it's prohibitively expensive computationally to find x and y such that f(x) = f(y), and likewise prohibitively expensive to find x given f(x). But it must be relatively cheap to compute f(x) given x. In this case the hash function f is SHA-256. If f(x) = z we say z is the hash of x.
Provable fairness is supposed to work like this:
1. The server randomly generates a string (server_seed), and sends the hash of it to the client. (server_seed_hash)
2. The client records the server seed hash, and then randomly generates a client_seed and sends it to the server.
3. The server uses a public deterministic formula to determine the outcome of the game. g(server_seed + client_seed) = outcome. Typically g first hashes the input and then converts that string of random bits into a shuffled deck or a random number mod N.
4. After the game, the server reveals the server seed to the client.
5. The client checks that f(server_seed) = server_seed_hash, and g(server_seed + client_seed) = outcome.
If all these steps are followed, f and g are appropriate functions, and both checks in step five succeed, then this individual round of the game is proven fair (but future rounds may or may not be fair). The server can only cheat by doing something that violates the checks in step five:
1. Generate a different server seed after seeing client_seed, to make sure that g(server_seed + client_seed) = losing outcome. Since it is prohibitively expensive to find x and y such that f(x) = f(y), the server won't be able to ensure that it's new seed hashes to the same value as the original seed, so the client will see f(server_seed) != server_seed_hash.
2. Generate the outcome of the game in some other way. So the client will see g(server_seed+client_seed) != outcome.
The server can also cheat undetectably if the client neglects any of his duties in steps 1-5. Sometimes shady sites will avoid sending server_seed_hash except when the client specifically requests it, so that the server knows when it's not being watched and can get away with anything. 999dice used this scam, and wixiplay does the same thing.
The verification of provable fairness can easily be automated. But interfacing between programs and web browsers is ugly and tedious (DM me if you can help with that since my partner who used to do that quit AP to go back to grad school). So I just copied and pasted the values into a script to verify each round manually:
I logged the script's output for each round of betting, and, long story short, the step 5 checks passed for the vast majority of game rounds, but on about 10 of the rounds the server_seed_hash didn't match. This means the server violated its pre-committment to using a particular server_seed. The only reason to do that is to change the outcome of the game to make it more unfavorable to the player. I always lost every round where the server_seed_hash didn't match.
I also played a lot of unverified rounds (where I didn't check PF). Out of 523 coin flips that each ostensibly had a 49.5% chance of success, only 199 succeeded. This has a binomial probability of 8.9696e-8. So I surmise that the casino cheats undetectably a lot on the 99% of customers who never request the server_seed_hash, and then has the backup plan of cheating overtly in the way described in the previous paragraph.
I made a second account and gradually ramped up my betting for further testing purposes. It eventually cheated by changing the server seed, and the timing of the first and second cheatings exactly coincided with wagers where I would have gone from being a lifetime net loser to being a lifetime net winner if I had won.
I waited a while before posting this just to make very very sure that it was rigged and worthless. If it wasn't rigged I could have crushed their loss rebate. It looks like a perfect storm on paper, if only it would take the action and not cheat:
* 25% back on every lost deposit an unlimited number of times per day, unlimited size
* no wagering requirement
* instant 0-conf deposits
* configurable-variance dice with a lower house edge than single zero roulette.
* enormous max bet
It sounded too good to be true, and it was.

Thank you Scrooge for posting this. I hope you mind me saying that this was discussed off the forum and I encouraged you post about it.
I take all accusations of Internet cheating very seriously. What I hope to do is personally verify this myself. I also plan to try to dumb this down a bit and put what happened into more plain simple English for people who don't know anything about encryption.

I have a a lot of interest in the subject, so, I too encouraged posting about this. I have tried to start a conversation and ask question regarding provably fair casinos, but there didn't seem to be much interest about the topic. Perhaps very few people have the knowledge to discuss exactly how it works, or the people that do have very little interest in online gambling. There was just some general information about how it worked. I mean there is a general understanding that they could still cheat but nobody really explained how they could cheat and how we could detect it.Quote: WizardThank you Scrooge for posting this.

This is probably a situation where there's quite a few Advantage Players who play online but they just go with what they already know and keep that to themselves.
Scrooge seems to know significantly more about this than anyone I've come across so far(thanks for the information/ education).

Quote: I just played 523 coin flips (49.5% chance of success with a 1% house edge). Only won 199 of them. The probability of winning 199 or fewer out of 523 is 8.9696e-8, or about one in ten million.
Their provably fair system doesn't work because they only show the server seed hash, but they never reveal the server seed of past rounds, so there is no way to do the calculation to verify that those rounds were fair.
They say the algorithm is:
Quote
$client_seed = "your_client_seed";
$server_seed = "your_server_seed";
$result_seed = hash_hmac('sha512', $server_seed, $client_seed);
$result_number = hexdec(substr($result_seed,0,10));
$lucky_number = $result_number % 10001;
echo $lucky_number;
But this is all they show you in the fairness dialog.
https://i.ibb.co/1KDN8s5/wixi-fairness.png
It never shows the server seed for the previous round, so you can't check the fairness. This is a fake PF system.
I recommend avoiding the site until they fix their PF.
someone elses quote who replied
Quote: But then it hit me!
They can actually check if you're going through the impractical ceremony on not! I verified this by checking the network requests, and AFAICT the only way to view the server-seed hash is via a network request to "/ajax/modal" with "modal=fairness".
So this means they can actually if you're verifying the bets or not. So they could trivially cheat only when they know you won't be able to tell (when you never requested the server-seed hash).

Somebody on that thread figured out that the way to see the server seed after a round was click on the "my bets" tab and then double click on the bet in the bet history. Most sites would just show the previous round server_seed in the fairness dialog (same place you see next round's server_seed_hash). And on most sites the fairness dialog wouldn't make a separate network request to notify the server that it's being watched.

So I went over today to demonstrate it to wizard. The cashback was gone and it didn't cheat in any of the rounds I played today. Possible reasons:
1. Variance. It only cheats some of the time and we didn't play a huge number of rounds. Without cashback it's not worthwhile to continue the testing..
2. Damage control. Maybe the site owner saw this thread and decided to get rid of the cashback and stop cheating at the same time.
3. Other APs might have found a loophole and burned it down in 2 days.
Here are my logs from Feb 9 until Feb 15 (like an hour before I posted this thread). It's all the inputs and all the outputs to my php script (source code in OP). Plus notes on deposit size / bet size. The two bets near the end with the hash mismatch are the ones where they cheated.

It's time for an update.
Yesterday I witnessed Scrooge playing and I can confirm that was not playing fairly.
To understand how "guaranteed fair gaming" is supposed to work and how to tell when it isn't, I had to get up to speed on how cryptography is used to guarantee the outcome of a bet is determined before the player makes the bet. To not hijack this thread, I created a thread about it titled GUARANTEED FAIR GAMING FOR DUMMIES.
The bottom line is the hash reported by the casino after some losing bets did not match the input that went into determining the outcome. In plain English, what I assume the casino is doing is on some kind of basis, not all the time, the casino will chose a seed that leads to a losing outcome. The hash of the this cherry-picked seed will not match the hash given before the bet was made.
What is strange is that it is fairly easy to check for this. However, the player does have to make several clicks and a few copy and pastes per bet. Based on other information I will let Scrooge elaborate on, I speculate the non-fair play is a function of:
1. Whether the player clicks to check the hash of a bet.
2. How much the player is winning.
3. How much in bonuses the player has received relative to his play.
4. IP address of player computer.
Yesterday I gave Wixiplay 48 hours to make statement in their defense. No reply yet.
Questions or comments?

From their FAQ
Also not a single "gaming authority" logo or "tested by so-n-so"
I would just say this is a shining example of what is possible from ANY online casino. You cant see how they are exactly generating the "random" numbers, and there is most likely more than just those 4 factors that produce the results.
I quoted that from the FAQ because there website is filled with spelling and grammatical errors. I'm horrible at those things too. But I feel like just looking at this site at a quick glace, it throws up a lot of red flags in general and I wouldn't play it.
Why do they have their own "coins" is my question.

How random numbers are drawn is not the issue. I assume they can draw them just fine. I don't want to go through a lesson on cryptography again, but they are simply not telling the truth and hoping nobody checks the codes.
Quote:I quoted that from the FAQ because there website is filled with spelling and grammatical errors.
Can you provide some examples? It looked okay to me, but I'm more of a math guy.
Quote:Why do they have their own "coins" is my question.
I think that is part of their reward program. I don't know much about it.
I've been playing myself with my own Bitcoin and every bet is directly in Bitcoin. So far, I must say, I've received a fair game.

They wrote "build-in" in my example.

By generate I mean exactly what you mean when you say there are winning and losing results generated by the call to a function.

As I've mentioned before, I've been trying to independently verify the cheating. So far, I've been getting a fair game. However, I have been waiting almost a day on my last withdrawal. I'm not sure if it's in Bitcoin limbo or the casino just hasn't initiated the transaction yet. I tend to suspect the latter.
It may be that they are in a phase of a casino in trouble that accepts deposits but drags its feat or doesn't process withdrawals at all.

The opening scroll is too fast. I can't even finish the second paragraph, although I suppose people can pause it.
Also, just in case the manure hits the fan, I hope you have more than one example documented.

I will address the big picture soon. Shall I say I've tried to document more cases, but they have frozen my withdrawal of 0.09 Bitcoin so now non-payment is another reason to blacklist. This should all go to a wider audience on Thursday, which is coincidentally Live Stream day.

Yes, I had two successful withdrawals. The third was in limbo for a while and then reversed back to my account for unknown reasons. The fourth just says "processed," but there is no entry at Blockchain.com.

FWIW they also stole my latest withdrawal. So just in case isn't wasn't rigged enough to beat every player, they'll also refuse to pay winners.

I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for all your help with this and taking this hit in the fight for fair and honest gaming.
In other news, here is the Wixiplay response to my video.
Here is my reply to that:
It is true that Scrooge played from my house in the first attempt to document the cheating. As I recall, he played on a new account, which did not get cheated at the time. However, more established accounts played from his IP address still continued to get cheated, thus the second attempt at his home. This did not break any of their very predatory terms and conditions. The closest to apply to that situation is:
14.2 Having more than 1 account is strictly FORBIDDEN. All your accounts will be banned without notice.
There is no rule against two different people playing from the same IP address.
As to the resolution of the cheating bet, they have a point there. The original is much clearer, but by the time it went through my video editing software and then squeezed down to YouTube dimensions, it suffered. I will attempt to make another video with a real camera that doesn't sacrifice so much on the resolution.
I'd like to document their full T&C, as of Feb 29 (leap day!) 2019.

Please edit out the part where it shows my bitcoin wallet from 4:41 to 5:12. I wasn't buying bitcoin, just sending coins that I already had. It shows my balance when the site is done loading. Other than that the video looks fine.

As someone who also finds computer-speak difficult to explain to laymen, I always find giving a real-world analog example helps
So here goes
1) I write down a random number from 1-10 on a sheet of paper and seal that in an envelope so it's value is hidden to prove fairness {seed generated is scrambled so it's value is hidden}
2) You pick random number from 1-10, let's say you pick the number six {you make your wager and play}
3) I say you lost by not picking the correct number {game outcome displayed}
4) You open the envelope I supplied before you played and you see that indeed the number you picked was a losing wager (not six) by pulling out the "seed" paperwork with the original number that doesn't match what you picked {placing the seed into php program which confirms the wager would have lost}
5) You now double check a video of the transaction and discover that I secretly SWITCHED the envelope with the winning number for one with a losing number so that the initial "seed" documents are different and hoped you didn't notice {PHP says initial seed is a mismatch}
Is that the gist of the issue and if so I hope this helps layman understand it more

Pretty much it.Quote: darkozIs that the gist of the issue and if so I hope this helps layman understand it more
The casino depends on most punters lacking the skill or inclination to do the checking or to have faith in themselves when the spot the con.
Those savvy punters like Wizard and Scrooge, get 86'd on a technicality putting their bankroll out of reach.
The casino was offering bonuses that even the dimmest AP could see were unsustainable. Could never have been a fair game in the medium or long term.
Other dodgy casinos probably act more legit to extend their longevity. SOME online casinos do play fair... But even they have heat thresholds and T's and C's that permit them to 86 the pesky winners.

Yes, that is the gist of it.
I would add the casino even let's you examine the video. They still cheat because:
1. Most players don't check the video.
2. They don't always cheat -- perhaps 5% of the time.
3. Even if they get caught, who cares, there are plenty more fish in the sea and no regulator to hold them accountable.

As of today I am going to side with the casino. You guys are so worried about whether or not this is right or wrong and I bet it’s completely legal wherever their servers are located at. You can tell they are definitely doing something wrong because they don’t even attempt to be thorough about their response and use the “he’s a liar” accusation tactic. They are definitely caught red handed for sure. But this is an example as to why I know my software will be successful. Everyone thinks this stuff can’t happen because anytime someone comes to this website the only person who can make these accusations is the former owner because people trust them more. But when anyone comes with blind accusations without the ability to possibly back up what they are saying the story ends there.
You guys reap what you sow on here and this is the reaping. Cheating is not illegal for casinos. Cheating is illegal for the players.

I may have missed it, but I don't think the Wiz ever said what Wixi is doing is illegal. He is just alerting all of us to avoid that casino. I think this is a great investigative thread. Reap what you sow? How has this site 'sown' a cheating on line casino?

I like to think I welcome both sides of any topic. Since you are siding with the casino, you are more than welcome to be their advocate, but even you seem to agree with me about them.
Also, Wixiplay is more than welcome here to defend themselves. If you're reading this Wixiplay, I mean it. I will behave myself and we'll discuss this hopefully like gentlemen.

I welcome accusations of cheating here. I've been listening to them for 23 years. Here is how they typically break down:
Adjective-laden rant with no numbers: 95%
Rant with numbers, but no analysis. After doing the analysis myself, results look like ordinary "bad luck." 4.5%
Legitimate evidence that points towards cheating, which I probably spent a long time reviewing: 0.5%
My point being, I need some numbers to work with before I'll take a complaint seriously.
Quote:You guys reap what you sow on here and this is the reaping. Cheating is not illegal for casinos. Cheating is illegal for the players.
I never said they did anything illegal, per their licensed jurisdiction of Curacao, which I assume involves paying $50,000 for a rubber stamp and no regulation. Correct me if I'm wrong there.

1. Accepting US players without being licensed in the US is illegal in the US.
2. Claiming a casino game is random when it isn't is probably fraud, but if the casino is already an outlaw by #1 then they don't have anything to lose but their reputation.
I'd be very wary of small unlicensed casinos using their own home brew software.

Unfortunately for me my accusations have turned profitable for me as in what I am seeing I think I am somewhat profiting off of
... I do agree with you wizard i absolutely believe they are being shady but I think that people get the wrong idea from threads like this that this stuff is illegal in ways. Thank you for clarifying. I am emotionally passionate about this subject and my emotions get in the way of logic when speaking about this kind of stuff.
I truly believed stuff like this wasn’t possible because of regulations but I was wrong about mostly everything.

When you say “you side with the casino” , what are you referring to ?
Would you say casinos should be able to do anything they want in regards to dealing a fair/unfair game as long as they don’t break the law ?

Unless what they are doing is codified and deemed illegal or legal, such as the exact process to how they generate their numbers then whatever they do to generate them is legal.
All of us have the choice to give someone our money or not and it comes down to this pretty much.

Very good points didn’t even consider federal laws in my head up to reading this. Didn’t consider fraud either.
