SHOT results can now be verified with Provably Fair

You no longer have to take the result on trust

Provably Fair adds verifiable proof to cases, upgrades, and battles. Users see not only the final result but can also confirm that SHOT used the exact data that had been fixed before the game.

The mechanism resembles a sealed envelope. Before the game begins, SHOT creates a secret key and displays its digital fingerprint. The key itself cannot be recovered from the fingerprint, so the result cannot yet be calculated. Once the key is revealed, however, its fingerprint can be generated again and compared with the original one. If anyone tried to replace the key, the fingerprints would not match.

User data is part of the calculation

The user’s phone adds a user phrase containing a random component to the SHOT key. If the user has not configured anything, the phone generates the entire phrase automatically. The SHOT key is fixed before this random component appears, so it cannot be chosen in advance to fit the user’s data.

Users can set their own phrase in the Fair Play section. This is an additional option rather than a required setting: Provably Fair works without it as well. The phone will still add a random component that becomes known only after the SHOT key has been fixed.

How cases and upgrades are verified

When a case is opened, the SHOT key, the user’s phrase, and the opening number are converted into a calculated number. Each item corresponds to a specific range of numbers: the higher the item’s probability, the wider its range. The item whose range contains the calculated number is the one that drops.

After the case is opened, the phone repeats the calculation and verifies two things at once: whether the revealed key matches the fingerprint shown before the game and whether the resulting number actually leads to the item that dropped. In a series of openings, each item can be verified separately.

Upgrades use the same principle. The calculation produces a number that is compared with the threshold for the selected probability. If the number is below the threshold, the upgrade succeeds; otherwise, the attempt fails. Verification repeats the calculation and confirms that the actual result corresponds to both the number and the stated probability.

Why battles use an independent number

Battles involve several players at once, so a number from an independent generator is added to the SHOT key and the participants’ phrases. Once all slots are filled, SHOT selects a future release from that generator. At that point, the number has not yet been published and is unknown in advance to both SHOT and the players.

Once the release is published, its number becomes part of the calculation for every opening in every slot. The app can verify the number’s source, repeat the calculations, and compare the resulting items with the battle results.

After the future release has been selected, SHOT does not allow the battle to be cancelled. This prevents anyone from waiting for the number, rejecting an unfavourable outcome, and starting the same battle again. The verification window also includes a link to the selected release from the independent generator.

How to verify your result

1. Open the completed result of a case, upgrade, or battle.

2. Tap the shield icon with a check mark next to the result.

3. The phone will compare the key’s digital fingerprint and repeat the calculation.

4. If the data matches, the message “Everything matches” will appear on the screen and the shield will turn green.

5. In the “Details” section, you can view the key, phrase, calculated number, probability table, and other verification data. You can copy this information if necessary.

No separate website, manual formulas, or advance configuration is required: the main verification is performed directly in SHOT.

What you need to know

Provably Fair does not reveal in advance which item will drop and does not change the probabilities within a case or upgrade. The system serves a different purpose: it allows users to verify after the game that the source data was not replaced and that the result was calculated according to the stated rules.

Verification is available only for results obtained after the technology was launched on 28 October 2026. Older case openings, upgrades, and battles do not contain the complete set of required data, so they cannot be verified through Provably Fair.
