研究项目声明:Fair Poker 是非营利、纯兴趣的开源学术研究项目,研究德州扑克如何用密码学实现可验证公平;它不是对公众运营的游戏平台,不提供任何游戏服务。在线演示向公众开放,用于协议自测与体验;欢迎 下载全部源码 在自己的电脑上搭建研究——我们提供思路与代码,不提供服务。
Research project notice: Fair Poker is a non-profit, hobbyist open-source academic research project on making Texas Hold’em verifiably fair with cryptography. It is not a game platform operated for the public and provides no gaming service; the live demo is open to the public for protocol self-testing. Download the full source and run your own instance — we share ideas and code, not a service.
一句话要点:Fair Poker 是非营利开源研究项目,不以营利为目的对公众提供游戏服务;演示牌桌向公众开放,仅供协议研究测试与体验。演示只用没有现金价值的虚拟测试筹码,不是真钱赌博,筹码不可购买、不可提现、不可兑换任何有价物。想研究请下载源码自行搭建。
In one line: Fair Poker is a non-profit open-source research project and provides no commercial gaming service; the demo table is open to the public for protocol research testing only. The demo uses virtual test chips with no cash value. It is not real-money gambling; chips cannot be purchased, cashed out, or exchanged for anything of value. To study the protocol, download the source and run your own instance.
1. 接受条款
访问或使用 Fair Poker("本服务"),即表示你同意受本条款及我们在本页链接的 隐私政策、Cookie 与本地存储说明 和 负责任游戏说明 约束。如你不同意,请勿使用本服务。
2. 资格与年龄
- 你必须达到所在司法辖区可订立有约束力合同的法定年龄;无论如何,你必须年满 18 周岁方可使用本服务。
- 即便 Fair Poker 仅使用娱乐筹码、并非赌博,我们仍以扑克为题材,因此面向成年人提供。若你未满 18 周岁,请勿创建账号或参与牌局。
- 你需自行确认在你所在地访问与使用本服务合法。若当地法律禁止本类娱乐性扑克软件,你应停止使用。
3. 项目与演示说明
Fair Poker 是研究性质的开源项目,其演示是一个可验证公平性的德州扑克研究原型:发牌、洗牌、加密与开牌在参与者浏览器之间以点对点协议形成,维护者仅提供把参与者连接到同一张演示牌桌的轻量中继,不充当发牌方、不持有中心牌库。每一手牌生成可下载、可用本地 verifier 复验的 hash-chain transcript。
- 演示不构成服务承诺。演示牌桌向公众开放,仅用于协议研究测试与体验,不构成任何持续可用性或服务质量的承诺。我们可随时新增、修改、下线功能或收回演示访问权限,且无需事先通知。
- 公众的正确使用方式是自行搭建。核心源码公开发布,任何人都可以下载源码、在自己的设备上编译并运行自己的实例来研究协议(许可范围见第 7 条)。
- 自建实例责任自负。你基于公开源码搭建、部署或运营的任何实例,均由你独立控制并独立承担全部法律与合规责任;该实例与本项目维护者无关,维护者对其不提供任何担保,也不承担任何责任。在部分司法辖区运营扑克类软件可能需要许可或存在限制,你必须自行确保合法合规。
4. 非真钱赌博
- 本服务内的筹码为娱乐筹码,没有任何现金或货币价值,不能购买、出售、提现、转让或兑换为现金、加密货币或任何有价物。游戏内不设任何充值入口、付费下注机制或奖励兑换机制。
- 本服务不提供任何形式的真钱投注、博彩或赌博,也不发放奖金。
- 严禁将本服务用作真钱赌博的记分工具,或以任何桌下、场外方式就牌局结果结算现实金钱、加密货币或任何有价物。此类私下约定完全与运营方无关,是本条款明令禁止的行为,其一切后果由行为人自行承担。
- 我们并不默许此类行为。我们在游戏内提供玩家举报入口,并对疑似真钱赌博、串通与"送筹码"(故意向特定对手输光筹码)等行为进行审查。一经合理认定,我们将永久封禁相关账号,并保留留存证据、追究责任、以及在法律要求时配合执法机关的权利。
- 你理解扑克是一种结合技巧与运气的游戏;本服务仅供娱乐与技能切磋之用。
5. 账号
- 部分功能可在不注册的情况下使用;如你创建账号,你需对账号下发生的活动负责,并对你的密码保密。
- 账号密钥库以你的密码在本地派生密钥加密;登录时客户端只发送派生的 authSecret,服务端仅保存其哈希、不接触你的明文密码。请妥善保管密码——我们无法替你找回明文密码。
- 禁止冒用他人身份、共享账号用于滥用行为,或以自动化手段批量注册。
- 严禁买卖、出租或转让账号,也严禁买卖或转让娱乐筹码。娱乐筹码不具现实价值,任何试图将账号或筹码变现的行为均违反本条款,可导致相关账号被永久封禁。
6. 可接受使用
使用本服务时,你同意 不 进行以下行为:
- 作弊,或试图绕过、破解、干扰公平性机制、签名校验、transcript 或 verifier;
- 与他人串通、共享屏幕或场外报牌以获取不正当优势;
- 使用机器人、脚本或自动化程序代替真人游戏,或对中继/服务发起拒绝服务、爬取或过量请求;
- 对客户端进行超出公开许可范围的逆向工程、反编译,或上传恶意代码;
- 骚扰、辱骂、威胁其他玩家,或发布违法、仇恨、欺诈、侵权内容;
- 将本服务用于洗钱、欺诈、非法赌博或任何违法目的;
- 仿冒官网、伪造牌局邀请链接,或以误导方式分发非官方客户端。
我们保留在合理判断你违反本条款时,限制、暂停或终止你访问的权利。
7. 知识产权与许可
- Fair Poker 的名称、标志、界面与内容受知识产权法保护。核心牌局客户端与核心源码以可验证发布的形式公开,并按其随附的许可证授权;该许可证条款优先于本节的一般性表述。
- 除随附开源许可证明确授予的权利外,未经授权,你不得复制、镜像、改名运营或分发本服务或其衍生品。我们已留存源码包、SHA256、CID 与发布证据用于维权。
- 本服务"按现状"提供其公开代码用于审计与复验,不因此放弃任何商标或品牌权利。
8. 第三方服务
本服务使用第三方基础设施,包括用作轻量中继的 Cloudflare、以及用于分发客户端的 IPFS 公共网关。这些第三方有各自的条款与隐私政策,其可用性与行为不在我们控制范围内。私有发牌消息端到端加密,中继只见密文。
9. 免责声明
在适用法律允许的最大范围内,本服务"按现状"与"按可用性"提供,不附带任何明示或默示担保,包括适销性、特定用途适用性、不侵权及不中断或无错误运行的担保。我们不保证服务持续可用、不被中断、绝对安全或没有缺陷。可验证公平性是指你可对照公开产物自行复验,而非对任何隐藏服务器的信任承诺。
10. 责任限制
在适用法律允许的最大范围内,运营方及其关联方对任何间接、附带、特殊、后果性或惩罚性损害,或数据、商誉、利润损失概不负责;因娱乐筹码不具现金价值,你对其"损失"不构成可主张的金钱损害。某些司法辖区不允许排除特定担保或限制责任,则相关限制在法律不允许的范围内不适用,且不影响消费者依强制性法律享有的权利。
11. 赔偿
因你违反本条款、滥用本服务或侵犯他人权利而引起的任何第三方主张、损失或费用(含合理律师费),你同意向运营方及其关联方作出赔偿并使其免受损害。
12. 终止
你可随时停止使用并删除账号。若你违反本条款或为保护服务与其他用户,我们可在合理情况下暂停或终止你的访问。终止后,依其性质应继续有效的条款(如知识产权、免责、责任限制、争议解决)继续有效。
13. 条款变更
我们可能不时更新本条款。重大变更将通过更新本页"最后更新"日期并在适当情况下提供显著提示的方式公布。变更生效后继续使用本服务,即表示你接受更新后的条款。
14. 适用法律与争议
在不与你居住地强制性消费者保护法相抵触的前提下,本条款受运营方主要营业地所适用的法律管辖。若你作为消费者,你所在国家/地区的强制性法律赋予你的权利不受影响。双方应首先尝试通过 开源代码Source code support@fairpoker.app 友好协商解决争议。

1. Acceptance
By accessing or using Fair Poker (the "service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, Cookie & Local Storage Policy, and Responsible Play notice, all linked here. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
2. Eligibility & age
- You must be of the legal age to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction, and in any case you must be at least 18 years old to use the service.
- Although Fair Poker uses play-money chips only and is not gambling, it is poker-themed and therefore intended for adults. If you are under 18, do not create an account or join a table.
- You are responsible for confirming that accessing and using the service is lawful where you are. If poker-themed entertainment software of this kind is prohibited in your location, you must stop using it.
3. The project and its demo
Fair Poker is an open-source research project. Its demo is a verifiably fair Texas Hold'em research prototype: dealing, shuffling, encryption, and reveal are formed peer-to-peer between participant browsers. The maintainers only provide a lightweight relay that connects participants to the same demo table and do not act as the dealer or hold a central deck. Every hand produces a downloadable, hash-chain transcript that you can replay with a local verifier.
- The demo is not a service commitment. The demo table is open to the public for protocol research testing only and implies no promise of continued availability or quality of service. We may add, change, or discontinue features, or withdraw demo access, at any time without prior notice.
- The intended public use is self-hosting. The core source code is published; anyone may download it, build it, and run their own instance to study the protocol (see Section 7 for the licence scope).
- Self-hosted instances are your own responsibility. Any instance you build, deploy, or operate from the public source is controlled solely by you, and you bear all legal and compliance responsibility for it. Such instances are unrelated to the project maintainers, who give no warranty and accept no liability for them. Operating poker-related software may require licences or be restricted in some jurisdictions; you must ensure your own compliance.
4. No real-money gambling
- Chips in the service are play-money with no cash or monetary value. They cannot be bought, sold, cashed out, transferred, or exchanged for cash, cryptocurrency, or anything of value. The game contains no top-up entry, paid wagering mechanism, or reward-redemption mechanism.
- The service offers no real-money betting, wagering, or gambling of any kind, and pays no prizes.
- It is strictly prohibited to use the service as a scoreboard for real-money gambling, or to settle real money, cryptocurrency, or anything of value for hand outcomes through any off-table or off-platform arrangement. Such private arrangements are entirely unrelated to the operator, are expressly prohibited by these Terms, and their consequences are borne solely by the persons involved.
- We do not tolerate such conduct. We provide an in-game reporting entry and review suspected real-money gambling, collusion, and "chip dumping" (deliberately losing chips to a specific opponent). Where reasonably established, we will permanently ban the accounts involved and reserve the right to preserve evidence, pursue liability, and cooperate with law enforcement where required by law.
- You understand poker combines skill and chance; the service is for entertainment and skill practice only.
5. Accounts
- Some features work without registration. If you create an account, you are responsible for activity under it and for keeping your password confidential.
- The account vault is encrypted locally with a key derived from your password. At login the client sends only a derived authSecret, and the server stores only its hash and never touches your plaintext password. Keep your password safe — we cannot recover a plaintext password for you.
- Do not impersonate others, share accounts for abusive purposes, or mass-register by automated means.
- Buying, selling, renting, or transferring accounts is strictly prohibited, as is buying, selling, or transferring play-money chips. Play chips have no real-world value; any attempt to monetise an account or chips breaches these Terms and may result in a permanent ban of the accounts involved.
6. Acceptable use
When using the service, you agree not to:
- cheat, or attempt to bypass, break, or interfere with fairness mechanisms, signature checks, the transcript, or the verifier;
- collude, share screens, or relay cards out-of-band to gain an unfair advantage;
- use bots, scripts, or automation in place of human play, or launch denial-of-service, scraping, or excessive requests against the relay or service;
- reverse engineer or decompile the client beyond what the public licence permits, or upload malicious code;
- harass, abuse, or threaten other players, or post unlawful, hateful, fraudulent, or infringing content;
- use the service for money laundering, fraud, illegal gambling, or any unlawful purpose;
- impersonate the official site, forge table invitation links, or distribute unofficial clients in a misleading way.
We may restrict, suspend, or terminate your access where we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms.
7. Intellectual property & licence
- The Fair Poker name, marks, interface, and content are protected by intellectual-property law. The core table client and core source are published as a verifiable release and licensed under the licence that accompanies them; those licence terms prevail over the general statements in this section.
- Except for rights expressly granted by the accompanying licence, you may not copy, mirror, rebrand-operate, or distribute the service or derivatives without authorisation. We retain the source archive, SHA256, CID, and release evidence to enforce these rights.
- Publishing the code "as is" for audit and verification does not waive any trademark or brand rights.
8. Third-party services
The service uses third-party infrastructure, including Cloudflare as a lightweight relay and public IPFS gateways to distribute the client. These third parties have their own terms and privacy policies, and their availability and behaviour are outside our control. Private dealing messages are end-to-end encrypted, so the relay sees only ciphertext.
9. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not guarantee that the service will be continuously available, uninterrupted, perfectly secure, or free of defects. Verifiable fairness means you can re-check public artifacts yourself; it is not a promise to trust any hidden server.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator and its affiliates are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or loss of data, goodwill, or profits. Because play chips have no cash value, their "loss" is not a recoverable monetary damage. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, in which case those limitations do not apply to the extent prohibited, and your mandatory consumer rights are unaffected.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the operator and its affiliates from third-party claims, losses, or costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, misuse of the service, or violation of others' rights.
12. Termination
You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access where you breach these Terms or to protect the service and other users. Provisions that by their nature should survive (such as intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution) survive termination.
13. Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced by updating the "Last updated" date on this page and, where appropriate, by a prominent notice. Continuing to use the service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
14. Governing law & disputes
Without overriding the mandatory consumer-protection laws of your place of residence, these Terms are governed by the law applicable at the operator's principal place of business. If you are a consumer, the mandatory rights granted to you by the law of your country or region are unaffected. The parties will first try to resolve disputes amicably via support@fairpoker.app.
15. Contact
For any questions about these Terms, contact support@fairpoker.app.
