A new foundation for real-money card games: fairness proven by mathematics, not promised by a house.
Online card gaming today asks that players trust the house dealt honestly. Fhloston's Heads-Up needs no trust: cards are sealed cryptographically by both players at once, so no operator and no opponent can see what they shouldn't.
Every deal can be checked, mathematically, after the hand. And each session leaves an auditable record built for the questions a regulator actually asks.
The cards are sealed by both players simultaneously. There is no dealer, no server, and no operator that can peek — because the mathematics won't allow it.
Fairness isn't a certificate on a wall. Any deal can be independently re-checked after the fact, by anyone, from the record itself.
Each player holds a verified cryptographic identity, and every session produces a durable, tamper-evident record — designed from the ground up for regulated operators.
Fhloston is a provably fair heads-up poker engine — a technology, not a casino. It runs Texas Hold'em between two players with cryptographic guarantees that neither the operator nor the opponent can cheat.
It is designed to be licensed to and operated by regulated gaming operators, who bring the license and the players; Fhloston brings the engine, the fairness proofs, and the compliance record.
Through mutual encryption: both players jointly encrypt and shuffle the deck so that neither side — nor any third party — can determine the cards until the rules of the game permit it. The technique is cryptographic, and the underlying method is patent-pending.
The result is a deal that can be mathematically verified after the hand by any party, without anyone having to trust the operator's word.
A turnkey provably-fair game to run under your own license and brand, with a configurable house rake, a verified-identity requirement for every player, and an auditable session record for every hand played.
The commercial model is a straightforward annual license. Custody, settlement currency, and rake are yours to configure.
Yes. The fairness engine is built and running, and a US provisional patent has been filed on the core method. What's presented here is production technology, not a concept.
Private demonstrations are available to qualified operators and partners on request.
Fhloston is looking for regulated operators and partners. If that's you, we'll walk you through the engine, the fairness proofs, and the compliance record — privately.
