Fair Play
Hand played straight, partner.
Bad beats sting. Drop-In Poker does not reshuffle, redraw, or fix hands. The table is dealt by PokerWorks, and the deeper technical posture lives on the PokerWorks fairness page.
The deal path
Drop-In Poker hands use the shared PokerWorks server shuffle and deal path. Canonical shuffled hands are expected to have a fairness record before dealing starts.
For the platform-level explanation and simulator, read PokerWorks Fairness.
Bots still go through the server
Bot regulars can keep the public table moving, and their actions are still submitted through the PokerWorks server legality checks.
Before a bot decision is made, PokerWorks projects the hand into a seat-scoped view: the bot gets its own cards, public table state, legal actions, and no hidden opponent cards or remaining deck order.
What this page does not claim yet
The hand lookup shows retained public proof-status metadata only. It does not reveal hole cards, deck order, outcomes, private transcripts, or proof secrets.
Your dealt-card audit summarizes only your own eligible retained hands and withholds charts until the sample is large enough to be meaningful.
We do not use win rates, bad-beat rates, or bot-vs-human outcomes as proof of shuffle fairness.
Raise a concern
PokerWorks publishes confirmed fairness-impacting defects in the platform accountability log.

Check a hand's fairness record
Enter a hand number to see whether Drop In has a retained canonical shuffled fairness record for it. The lookup returns public proof-status metadata only.
Your dealt-card audit
Sign in to check whether your own retained starting cards look normal over a meaningful sample. This audit uses dealt cards only, not wins, losses, profit, bot comparisons, or bad-beat outcomes.
