Fair Play
Fair Play in our holdem poker games is both a philosophy and a science at Everest Poker.
First, we have a philosophical commitment to providing absolutely fair play in every online holdem poker game because it's the right thing to do. We treat our players like we want to be treated: honestly and fairly. Second, we use stringent quality controls along with advanced anti-collusion techniques to ensure that our holdem poker players get the most entertainment value for their money. Fair play means a satisfying experience for all and a loyal, long-term holdem poker player base for us.
We also take a scientific approach to making sure our games are fair:
- Fair by design. The software that powers our holdem poker games uses a sophisticated Random Number Generator (RNG) to make sure each hand of cards is unpredictable and completely random. Thus, our games are designed to be fair from the ground up.
- Test for fairness. We methodically analyze historical game data and test our holdem poker games on a continual basis to assure ourselves that the games are absolutely fair and random.
- Audit for assurance. We make our own holdem poker game software and test data available to external auditors and gaming authorities to provide an outside, independent check of our own research and analysis
The result of all this effort and commitment is that our customers feel good about playing with us. They know the holdem poker games are fair, and they trust us to keep them that way.

Certified Shuffler
Everest Poker’s commitment to fair gaming means that we make every effort to ensure that our players feel confident. This dedication to fairness is why Everest Poker uses a proprietary and independently-certified Random Number Generator.
What is a Random Number Generator and why is it important to Everest Poker? Simply put, a Random Number Generator, or RNG, is a complex piece of software designed to generate a sequence of numbers or symbols which is truly random and devoid of any sort of pattern or predictability. At Everest Poker, the RNG is responsible for shuffling the cards and dealing the hands. Our Random Number Generator ensures fair gaming for our players, which is critical to Everest Poker.
The Random Number Generator at the heart of Everest Poker has been certified by Technical Systems Testing (TST) to be fair and completely random. TST is a leader in independent auditing for gaming providers. Their client list includes lotteries for the states of Massachusetts, Michigan, and the District of Columbia in the United States as well as lottery for Ontario, Canada.
The completely independent and impartial testing procedures utilized by TST ensure that Everest Poker's computer systems and software are certified to the very strictest standards of technical compliance. The TST seal of certification offers players at Everest Poker unparalleled assurance that our gaming environment is fair.
Everest Poker is proud to provide our players with documentation proving this independent, third-party certification.
