As you can see
here, iTech Labs has confirmed the reliability and security of the random number generator (RNG) that the Winning Poker Network uses to shuffle cards on its online poker site, showing the solution meets or exceeds best practices in generating unpredictable and statistically random values for dealing cards.
You can check this on our
website and also
here is the certification.
From Q&A at ITech Labs site:
What is independent testing and certification?
iTech Labs is a wholly Australian owned testing company based in Melbourne, Australia with wholly owned subsidiaries in Europe. We are not owned by and do not have any interest in any gaming company. Our accreditation by the gaming Jurisdictions is subject to maintaining professional competence, integrity and independence in our work. Each client's work is treated with complete confidentiality. Police checks and credit checks have been conducted for all consultants working for iTech Labs.
What is collusion testing?
Multi-player games have a potential weakness - if several players around a table are able to see each other's cards (in a card game say), they may have enough information to unfairly compete against the other players in the same table.
casinos and poker rooms employ a variety of collusion prevention and detection mechanisms. A typical collusion prevention mechanism is to prevent players from the same network sitting at the same table. We check what you have implemented and what is required by the gaming jurisdiction.
Which certifications do you offer?
If your RNG (and scaling) have passed our tests, we provide RNG certification. This includes a logo for RNG certification, linked certificate and hotlinked original certificate.
If your RNG and games have passed our tests, we provide RNG & Game certification. This includes a logo for RNG and games certification, linked certificate and hotlinked original certificate.
If we audit the actual RTP/RNG of your games (from server logs), we provide a RTP/RNG audit certification. This includes a logo for RTP/RNG audit, linked audit report and hotlinked original audit report.
If your platform has passed our tests, we provide platform certification. If your games have passed integration tests, we provide integration certification.
I am a player. Can I check whether cards dealt are random?
Yes you can. If you analyse all the cards dealt to you (without omitting any card), you can see whether the cards are uniformly distributed over the range 1 to 52. The distribution becomes more even as the number of cards is increased. So please make sure that you have captured sufficient number of cards and not omitted any card in between. 2,000 cards is a good number to start with. The same approach is possible for dice and ball games. Please see our RNG audit reports to see results of such analysis.
All games tested by iTech Labs have game history/logs for
real money games. It is possible to collect information about cards/dice/balls from the game history/logs.
Feel free to check it out on your on at the link provided by the ACR rep or google "ITech Testing RNG".
GL and God bless.
