Shuffle Generation and Post-Hand Verification
BCPoker calls its dealing system provably fair. It uses a random number generator together with the KECCAK-256 hashing algorithm. After a hand is over, you can open it in the Fairness section and check the verification data for that deal.
To check a hand:
- Open the record of the finished hand.
- Find the verification details in the Fairness section.
- Follow the steps there to check the recorded shuffle.
This lets you see the evidence behind a specific deal. It doesn’t cover everything else happening on your account, though.
Behavioural Analysis of Account Activity
BC Shield watches how people play to catch signs of bots, collusion or real-time assistance tools. According to the room, it looks at things like how fast decisions are made and how players bet.
Actions that repeat like a script, or players who seem to work together, can lead to a closer look. Being flagged isn’t proof of cheating, and the room may investigate before it restricts anything.
Live Player Confirmation at the Tables
BCPoker says BC Shield runs liveness checks to make sure a real person is behind the account. Some of these checks use 3D facial recognition, and the room states that biometric data isn’t kept once verification is done.
If you’re asked to do a check, follow the instructions in the official client. Don’t let anyone else into your account to pass it for you.
Blocking of Emulators and Remote Access Tools
BCPoker blocks some emulators, virtual machines and remote-access apps to cut down on automated or remotely controlled play. Its security information gives TeamViewer and AnyDesk as examples.
Play on a supported device with the official client. If a normal app you use gets in the way, contact support. Don’t try to get around the block.
Restrictions on Trackers and Assisting Software
BCPoker bans third-party HUDs, trackers, solvers and data-mining software that break its rules. Instead, it gives you built-in VPIP and PFR stats based on how your opponents have played recently.
Check the current software rules before running any poker tool. Something that’s fine on another site may be banned on BCPoker.
Connection Encryption and Login Safeguards
BCPoker says it uses AES-256 encryption over SSL/TLS and offers optional two-factor authentication through Google Authenticator. It also watches logins and locks the account after too many failed attempts.
| Security measure | Purpose |
| Connection encryption | Protect information transmitted between the client and service |
| Two-factor authentication | Add a verification step beyond the password |
| Login monitoring | Identify unusual access attempts |
| Failed-login restrictions | Reduce repeated password-guessing attempts |
You can do your part too. Pick a password you don’t use anywhere else, turn on 2FA and report any login you don’t recognise. Never share your password or authentication codes with anyone.
Segregated Balances and Public Reserve Audits
BCPoker says player balances are kept apart from the money it uses to run the business and are backed 1:1. It also points to independent reserve audits as proof of transparency.
When you read one of these reports, check when it was published, what it covered and how it was done. A reserve report only speaks for the assets and liabilities it actually looked at. Keep your own record of transactions and report anything that doesn’t add up through official support.
Reporting a Security Concern
If you spot suspicious activity, possible use of banned software or something wrong with a hand record, contact BCPoker through its official website or app.
It helps to include:
- Your account ID or username.
- The date and rough time it happened.
- The hand ID, tournament details or transaction reference.
- A short description of the problem and any screenshots.
Never put your password or authentication codes in a report. Save the support ticket number so you can follow up.
