Seed rotation
Switching to a new server seed, which makes the casino reveal the old one so you can check those bets.
Rotating your seed (or changing your seed pair) closes out the server seed you've been using and kicks off a fresh one. At that moment, the site shows you the seed you just retired, plus the hash of the one replacing it.
Why you have to rotate first
A seed only gets revealed once it's done being used. If you could see the live one, you could work out every next result. So you can't verify until you rotate. That's on purpose, not a bug.
When to hit rotate
- When you start a new session. Setting a new client seed usually rotates the server seed too.
- Any time you feel like auditing a stretch of bets: rotate, then grab the seed they hand over.
- Can't remember if you screenshotted the hash? Rotate and start clean with a commitment you've actually saved.
Real-life example
Over the weekend you rack up 500 bets on seed A. Sunday night, you click rotate. Seed A gets revealed, you see the hash for seed B, and the nonce drops back to 0. All 500 of those weekend bets are now checkable.
