I read about something called Winback® Cash Commissions, how does that work?

As part of the CardGenius.com' Rewards Program, all members, regardless of membership status automatically qualify to earn Winback® Cash commissions. It works like this; When an individual that you directly referred joins CardGenius.com as a Member, wins a cash prize in one of our online sweepstakes poker tournaments, whether that individual is a Premium Member or an active VIP Member, CardGenius.com pays you a percentage of that member's total sweepstakes tournament prize winnings.

The more members you refer, the greater percentage you have of earning Winback® Cash commissions.
Winback® Cash commissions are considered marketing commissions and are paid to members over and above the sweepstakes prize payout to our tournaments winners.
Visit the GET PAID page to read more about how easy it is to earn money with cardgenius.com.

What steps do you take to deter collusion in your games?

Collusion is a form of cheating in which two or more players form a dishonest partnership to the detriment of all the other players at the same table.

CardGenius.com takes this threat to the integrity of its games very seriously and has developed sophisticated methods to detect possible collusion. Thereby, ensuring that colluding players will be detected and dealt with appropriately.
While it is easier to pass information between colluding players in online poker and games than it is in brick and mortar card rooms, it is much more difficult to avoid eventual detection, because the hands for all players who are achieving out-of-ordinary winning results can be examined by the software to determine if a pattern of winning while playing with possible colluding partners exists and whether repeated "suspect" plays were being made by the possibly colluding partners.
No matter how sophisticated the collusion is, it must involve the play of hands that would not be played that way without collusion. Our collusion detection software is designed to spot possible unusual play or result patterns and issue a warning to the site operator that a thorough manual investigation is needed. All suspected collusion reported to the site by players must be thoroughly investigated, and the reporting players must be advised of the results of the investigation. If any player is found to be participating in any form of collusion, his or her account may be permanently closed. If you suspect player collusion, please report it to Support

How do you shuffle your deck randomly, so that it is fair?

CardGenius.com understands that the use of a fair and unpredictable shuffle algorithm is critical to our software. To ensure this and avoid major problems, we are using two sources of a very fast random number generation:

The mt_rand() function is a drop-in replacement for this. It uses a random number generator with known characteristics using the » Mersenne Twister.

We generate a random seed hash to enhance the true random number generator.

This source generates enough entropy to ensure a fair and unpredictable shuffle.

A deck of 52 cards can be shuffled in 52! ways. 52! is about 2^225 (to be precise, 80, 658, 175, 170, 943, 878, 571, 660, 636, 856, 404, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 ,000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 ways). We use 249 random bits from both entropy sources (user input and thermal noise) to achieve an even and unpredictable statistical distribution.

Furthermore, we apply conservative rules to enforce the required degree of randomness; for instance, if user input does not generate the required amount of entropy, we do not start the next hand until we obtain the required amount of entropy from Intel RNG

We use a cryptographic hash algorithm to mix the entropy gathered from both sources to provide an extra level of security.

We also maintain a salted cryptographic based pseudo-random generator to provide even more security and protection from user data attacks: To convert random bit stream to random numbers within a required range without bias, we use a simple and reliable algorithm. For example, if we need a random number in the range 0-25: we take 5 random bits and convert them to a random number 0-31 if this number is greater than 25 we just discard all 5 bits and repeat the process.

This method is not affected by biases related to modulus operation for generation of random numbers that are not 2n, n = 1,2,...etc.

To perform an actual shuffle, we use another simple and reliable algorithm:

first we draw a random card from the original deck (1 of 52) and place it in a new deck - now original deck contains 51 cards and the new deck contains 1 card.

then we draw another random card from the original deck (1 of 51) and place it on top of the new deck - now original deck contains 50 cards and the new deck contains 2 cards.

we repeat the process until all cards have moved from the original deck to the new deck.

This algorithm does not suffer from "Bad Distribution Of Shuffles".
