I have found fault with the provably fair on this site.
It feeds 30 numbers (not provably fair) into the provably fair shuffling mechanism which uses the client seed to shuffle the already pre-determined numbers fed into it by pocketdice.
This is not provably fair.
And just to be clear, the point is that the numbers are chosen before being combined with the client seed and before being fed into the provably fair shuffling algorithm, therefore, these numbers could be pre-chosen by pocketdice and there is no way to prove that to be true or untrue, thus, not provably fair. Since the numbers being chosen are not provably fair, pocket dice can make them whatever they want.
This is why the site is not provably fair. Period. Done. End of story. Site is not provably fair.
The following shows how this type of "provably fair" fraud can be used to manipulate outcomes.... however, none of the following evidence is necessary to prove that the site is unfair, that is already proven by their own admission on their provably fair information page in the first few lines. Read carefully.
------------
Example of how this could be used in a way to cheat you (contrary to pocketdices many solid promises that its impossible for them to cheat you because of this great mechanism they have in place. Why shouldn't you believe them, they said its fair right? WRONG!)
------------
For example, this is the first "over 11" I analyzed, but had the same results as the "over 6" data I've been analyzing.
The 30 numbers pocketdice fed into the shuffling mechanism were ..
(and not sure if you have to be logged in to view this, but here is where I'm getting this data
https://pocketdice.io/statistics/574ff765ff92745b238b46a5 or see screenshots below)
[2, 3, 1, 5, 3, 1, 6, 1, 3, 6, 3, 4, 2, 1, 1, 5, 4, 2, 4, 6, 3, 3, 1, 4, 4, 2, 5, 6, 4, 3]
Again, these numbers are fed to the shuffling algorithm and combined with the client seed by their own admission. These numbers can be anything pocketdice wants them to be and this is because they are not part of the provably fair mechanism. They are created by pocketdice servers and the "provably fair" mechanism simply shuffles the numbers pocket dice picked.
If you analyze the numbers from this bet, my odds of hitting a 12 were 6 in 435, or 1.379%. The actual odds of rolling two dice and hitting a 12 are 1 in 36 or 2.777%. Obviously a major difference. But the point is, this site is not provably fair as it claims to be, you can check yourself. Total up the dice as I have, and you will see that when you make a bet, the odds you think you are getting, you really are not getting, pocketdice is setting different odds before it even goes into the provably fair shuffle.
I also wonder why the need for 30 numbers. And if you need to shuffle 30 numbers, why not use an equal amount of each number to make the shuffle fair? Why feed in a "random" or arbitrary (or meticulously pre-composed) set of numbers? The only purpose is deception.
Here is how you can break down the numbers on any bet for yourself. Go to the info for the bet and click on the "stats for nerds" link. You will be shown the 30 numbers pocketdice chose for that bet, and further below those numbers will be shuffled to give you the outcome of your bet.

This bet I made immediately before the one above. It's even worse.
