Disconnects, Hand Histories, and Disputed Hands

What BOOF’s server does after a disconnect, what a hand history contains, how seed verification works, and which evidence to preserve.

Reviewed Review status: approved for publication

A disconnect does not pause the whole table

BOOF’s server owns the action clock. If a player remains disconnected, the documented behavior marks the seat disconnected and can check when checking is legal or fold when facing a bet after the applicable timeout. A brief reconnect may preserve the seat, but no connection or recovery time is guaranteed.

What the hand archive records

  • Table slug and hand number.
  • Board, action log, eligible winners, committed amounts, payouts, and rake.
  • The player’s own hole cards and only opponent cards eligible to be shown.
  • Asset, funding mode, time, and completed-hand verification path.
  • The server seed, commitment, nonce, and bounded verification results for the completed hand.

Use verification for the claim it can answer

The seed endpoint can check whether the revealed seed hashes to the stored commitment and whether the archived visible deal matches the deterministic shuffle. It cannot decide whether a network outage, UI display, custody transfer, collusion case, or moderation judgment was handled correctly.

Evidence checklist

  • Preserve the table slug, hand number, asset, seat, and approximate time.
  • Save the history and verification URLs and their returned fields.
  • Capture the visible action sequence and any error message.
  • For money movement, save the internal transaction identifier and Solana signature if one exists.
  • Do not publish another player’s personal data or demand folded private cards.

Current escalation gap

No verified public support intake, response target, investigation procedure, independent dispute provider, or appeal route was found. That gap must be closed before acquisition. Until then, preserve evidence and use only a channel later published on boof.gg; ignore unsolicited support messages.

Do not respond to a disconnect or disputed hand by increasing stakes or continuing while distressed. Pause play, preserve the evidence, and keep any unresolved balance separate from money needed for bills or other essentials.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I disconnect while facing a bet?

The documented timeout behavior can fold the hand. Exact grace and recovery depend on the current server state and are not guaranteed here.

Does the hand history reveal every folded hand?

No. Opponents’ folded cards remain private unless the rules made them tabled.

Can the verifier resolve a balance dispute?

No. Seed/deal verification and cash-ledger reconciliation are different evidence paths.

Where do I appeal a decision?

No verified public appeal route was found. Public acquisition should not begin until BOOF publishes and tests one.
