How does the random number generator (RNG) work at Pin Up Casino?
An RNG is a random number generator that generates game outcomes based on unpredictable sequences. Online casinos use cryptographically secure pseudorandom number algorithms (CSPRNGs), where entropy is derived from system events and secure modules. The GLI-11 (2019) and GLI-19 standards require checks for uniform distributions, absence of autocorrelations, and stability after updates. NIST SP 800-22 (NIST, 2010) is used for testing. For example, Pragmatic Play slots undergo such testing, and the results are recorded in laboratory reports with a date and number.

What is the difference between RNG and provably fair?
Provably fair is a mechanism that allows a player to verify the fairness of a result using a cryptographic hash (SHA-256, approved by NIST in FIPS PUB 180-4, 2015) and a client seed/server seed pairing. Unlike RNG, where fairness is confirmed by external audits (eCOGRA, iTech Labs, GLI), provably fair provides the player with a verification interface: a pre-commit hash and a Verify button. Example: in crash games, the user checks the round hash against the disclosed server seed, confirming the correctness of the odds.
What is a CSPRNG and why is it needed?
A CSPRNG is a cryptographically secure generator, resistant to sequence prediction even with partial state disclosure. RFC 4086 (IETF, 2005) requires diverse entropy sources. In casinos, this reduces the risk of attacks on predictability and seed reuse. Providers record key changes and conduct regression tests according to NIST SP 800-22, checking for p-value ranges and the absence of correlations. For example, when a slot patch is released, the seed is updated and a new lab report is published.
Who checks the RNG and how do I know if the certificate is valid?
Audits are conducted by eCOGRA (since 2003), iTech Labs (since 2004), GLI (since 1989), and BMM Testlabs. They use GLI-11/19 methodologies and ISO/IEC 17025 standards (2017 edition). The validity of a certificate is determined by the date, number, and game coverage. For example, eCOGRA published a report on Microgaming products in 2022, listing the tests and games covered.
What is the difference between GLI-11, GLI-19, and ISO 17025?
GLI-11 describes requirements for randomness and change management, while GLI-19 extends controls to remote servers and network systems. ISO/IEC 17025 regulates laboratory competence: method calibration and result traceability (2017 edition). For example, NIST SP 800-22 tests are conducted according to GLI-11/19, and their validity is confirmed by laboratory accreditation according to ISO/IEC 17025.
eCOGRA vs. iTech Labs – Which is More Reliable?
Both labs are recognized, but differ in jurisdiction: eCOGRA works more often with European licenses (MGA), while iTech Labs works with global providers, including Curacao. For example, NetEnt had eCOGRA reports (2021), while Pragmatic Play had iTech Labs reports (2022). Users rely on the most recent document and the same build version.
What can the player check independently?
The MGA (2021) and Curacao eGaming (2020–2022) regulators require the publication of RNG certificates. Each game's RTP (Return to Player) is listed in the game's documentation, matching the reported data. For example, the NetEnt Starburst slot has an RTP of 96.09%, which must match the documentation and certificate.
How to check RNG in Pin Up step by step
Step-by-step process: open the "Certificates" section, check the document's date and expiration date, and check the RTP and build version in the game's help section. If a provably fair certificate is available, use the Verify button and compare the SHA-256 hash (NIST, 2015) with the disclosed server seed. Example: in a crash game, the hash is checked using an online calculator.
