Back to TopGame Fairness and Privacy:How does SunPoker.com ensure game fairness?Our developers have gone to great lengths to ensure that the software we produce is of the highest quality. Each game undergoes rigorous testing on the real gaming server to determine whether game rules are obeyed, payouts are calculated correctly etc. Then, depending on the game, between 1 and 10 million bets are made to test the fairness of the random number generator. If the frequency of winning combinations and general payouts are within expectations, the game is passed to the Quality Assurance team of engineers. They in turn ensure that the game plays to within expected quality levels. Only when all of these tests are passed is the game made available for use by our players. How are the games tested?SunPoker.com's software, developed and maintained by Playtech, uses a true random number generator to ensure total game integrity.
