How to Verify Stake Video Poker Results

Step 1: Get your seed data from Stake

After your Video Poker round ends, gather your verification data:

  • Server Seed (Unhashed): Go to Settings → Fairness on Stake. Click "Unhash" next to your active server seed to reveal it.
  • Client Seed: Found in the same Fairness settings page. You can use Stake's default or set your own.
  • Nonce: Each bet has a unique nonce. Find it in your bet history by clicking on the bet.

Note: You can only verify bets made before you unhash the server seed.

Step 2: Enter your data in the form above

Paste your data into the verification form:

  • Enter your Client Seed exactly as shown on Stake
  • Enter the Server Seed (Unhashed) - this is the revealed seed, not the hash
  • Enter the Nonce for the specific bet you want to verify

The verifier uses Fisher-Yates shuffle to compute all 10 cards (5 initial + 5 draw).

Step 3: Compare the cards with your game

After clicking Verify, you'll see the calculated card sequence:

  • Cards 1-5 show your initial hand
  • Cards 6-10 show the draw cards available if you discarded
  • Compare all cards with your Stake bet history

If results don't match, double-check you're using the unhashed server seed and correct nonce.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Stake Video Poker work?

Video Poker deals you 5 cards from a standard 52-card deck. You choose which cards to hold, and the rest are replaced from the remaining deck. Payouts are based on standard poker hand rankings (Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, etc.) with 99% RTP.

Does this verifier work for both Stake.com and Stake.us?

Yes! Both Stake.com (international) and Stake.us (US sweepstakes) use identical provably fair algorithms for Video Poker. This verifier works for both platforms.

How are the cards determined?

The Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm uses HMAC-SHA256 to shuffle the entire 52-card deck. The first 5 cards are your initial hand. Cards 6-10 are available as draw cards if you choose to discard any from your initial hand.

Why doesn't my verification result match?

Common reasons for mismatched results:

  • Using hashed server seed: You need the unhashed (revealed) server seed, not the hashed version.
  • Wrong nonce: Each bet has a unique nonce - verify you're using the exact nonce for that game.
  • Typos: Double-check all values are copied exactly without extra spaces.
Is my bet data safe when using this tool?

Absolutely. All verification happens 100% client-side in your browser using JavaScript. Your seeds, nonces, and bet data never leave your device - we don't collect, store, or transmit any information.
