Join with known state
Establish what a newly opened or reconnected client receives, how stale sessions are rejected and which identifier lets support locate the same round across systems.
Crash game integration
A real-time format needs calm failure handling.
Crash concentrates attention into a short, changing round. The supplier evaluation should therefore focus on state ownership, wallet timing and recovery: what the player sees when a connection fails matters as much as the normal path.

Define the authoritative state at every moment.
A moving multiplier can make a demo feel self-explanatory. Production is less forgiving. Product and engineering teams need a shared model for entry, active play, player action, settlement and reconnection.
Resolve timing once
Document which service decides whether a player action arrived in time. Browser clocks and visual frames should never create a second, competing settlement rule.
Make interruption ordinary
Test network loss before and after the action, a delayed wallet response and a reopened browser. Each scenario needs an unambiguous final round and balance state.
Operational readiness
The incident path belongs in the product review.
Crash is a useful test of the supplier relationship because it spans presentation, time-sensitive input, wallet calls and player support. During evaluation, ask which team can see the authoritative timeline and what each party owns when the client and backend disagree.
Fairness evidence and operational evidence answer different questions. Cryptographic material can help a reviewer recompute a result; request identifiers and timestamps help support explain what the system accepted. A production integration should preserve both without expecting the player to diagnose the platform.
- Identify the authoritative clock and action-acceptance boundary.
- Reconcile wallet and game state after every timeout scenario.
- Provide a stable round timeline for operator support.
- Test reconnection without creating a second round or action.
Crash API FAQ
Questions to take into technical evaluation.
What is the first failure case to test?
Disconnect the client around a player action and confirm that the final action, round and wallet state agree after reconnection. Repeat with delayed and duplicated requests.
Should the browser decide whether an action was on time?
No. A review should identify one authoritative backend decision and ensure the visual interface renders that decision consistently, including when the network is delayed.
What evidence should support receive?
Support needs stable session and round identifiers, accepted action details, wallet outcome and the relevant result-verification material, presented without exposing credentials or internal infrastructure.
