IIT-BHU study validates fairness of Random Number Generators in online card games
IIT Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, has confirmed through an independent study that Random Number Generators (RNGs) used in online card games meet high statistical fairness by Dr Bhaskar Biswas, Professor and Head of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, the research applied internationally accepted methodologies to evaluate the randomness and integrity of card shuffling non-Personally Identifiable Information gameplay data from RummyCulture, the study examined both 53-card and 106-card formats over a three-month TESTING USING DIEHARDER SUITE The team used the globally recognised 'Dieharder' statistical test suite, a benchmark for RNG quality, to assess thousands of card distribution tests evaluated multiple aspects of randomness, including uniformity, independence and findings showed that RNGs passed 97.34% of all Dieharder tests for 53-card games and 98.25% for 106-card games.P-value distributions were largely uniform in both cases, with only minimal clustering at the edges, which is consistent with theoretical expectations.'These results demonstrate a high level of statistical conformity and provide reassurance about the robustness of RNG implementations in digital card games,' said Dr Biswas. 'In games such as online rummy, the underlying randomness must be beyond reproach.'FIRST ACADEMIC VALIDATION OF REAL-WORLD RNG DATAThis is the first time in the skill-based Real Money Gaming and wider global gaming industry that an independent academic body has analysed actual gameplay RNG IIT-BHU team conducted multiple Dieharder tests, such as the Birthday Spacing Test, Bitstream and Rank Tests, Parking Lot and Minimum Distance Tests, and DNA and OPSO/OQSO results consistently confirmed no detectable bias or predictability in RNG AND INDUSTRY SIGNIFICANCEThe report highlights the regulatory importance of these findings. RNGs in digital gaming are subject to audits under standards like NIST and the British Remote Technical IIT-BHU study confirms that the tested systems meet these which previously earned RNG certifications from iTech Labs (ISO 17025 certified), sees the study as a reaffirmation of its commitment to fair to the platform, such independent validations help maintain ethical standards, boost player trust, and ensure sustainable growth for the online gaming industry.- Ends

‘China issue more complicated…': After tariff on India, will Donald Trump impose additional duties on China for Russia oil trade? What JD Vance said
The relationship with China presents greater complexity due to its wide-ranging implications beyond the Russian context. (AI image) Will US President Donald Trump impose additional tariffs on China for its procurement of crude oil from Russia? That's a question that is being repeatedly asked of the US government since it announced a 25% additional tariff on India for its Russia crude oil trade. Donald Trump remains undecided about implementing tariffs on China regarding its Russian oil purchases, with Vice President J D Vance noting that Washington's relationship with Beijing included aspects beyond the Russian context. Trump yet to decide on China tariffs for Russia oil The United States had first implemented 25% reciprocal duties on India, and Trump recently imposed an additional 25% tariffs on Delhi for its Russian oil acquisitions. This has elevated the total tariffs on India to 50%, positioning it amongst the highest rates the US has enforced on any nation globally. The supplementary 25% tariff will be implemented from August 27. When questioned about tariffs on nations such as India for their Russian oil purchases and whether similar measures would apply to China, which also imports Russian oil, JD Vance emphasised the complex nature of US-China relations. "Well, the President said he's thinking about it, but he hasn't made any firm decisions," JD Vance said during his appearance on Fox News Sunday. China and India dominate Russian oil imports The relationship with China presents greater complexity due to its wide-ranging implications beyond the Russian context, Vance explained. He indicated that Trump is currently evaluating various possibilities and will reach his conclusion at his own discretion.

"Obviously the China issue is a little bit more complicated because our relationship with China, it affects a lot of other things that have nothing to do with the Russian situation," Vance said. India reacts sharply to 25% additional US tariff India has criticised the US decision, describing it as "unfair, unjustified and unreasonable". "It is extremely unfortunate that the US should choose to impose additional tariffs on India," said the external affairs ministry in Delhi, whilst confirming that India would undertake all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests. India ranks as the third-largest consumer of oil globally and has substantially increased its Russian crude oil imports following the Russia-Ukraine conflict, primarily due to the considerable price reductions available. Trump has called for India to cease buying discounted oil from Russia, asserting that these purchases are "fueling the war machine" in the Ukrainian conflict. His request is driven by two key aims: reducing the United States' trade imbalance with India and advancing negotiations with Russian President Putin to resolve the crisis in Ukraine. Also Read | Symbol of India-Russia ties takes a hard hit! How Russia-backed Indian refinery Nayara Energy is navigating a perfect storm - big hurdles challenge growth India's historical crude oil imports predominantly came from Middle Eastern nations, with minimal Russian supply. However, this dynamic shifted dramatically in 2022 after the Russia-Ukraine conflict began and G7 countries imposed a $60-per-barrel price cap, aiming to limit Russian oil revenue whilst ensuring continuous global supply. India continues to avoid sanctioned oil from Iran and Venezuela, but its Russian crude purchases remain permissible, leading to substantial increases in Russian imports. This resulted in reduced procurement from traditional sources such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Nigeria. According to Kpler's analysis, Russian oil, which held a negligible share in India's 2021 import mix, now accounts for about 37% of imports. This development has established India, alongside China, as a primary buyer of Russian crude.

Trump's 50% levy is forcing Indian banks to scrutinize exporters
Indian banks are increasing scrutiny of new loan applications from exporters by asking about exposure to the American market and contingency plans for coping with US President Donald Trump 's steep tariffs, according to people familiar with the matter. Bloomberg News spoke to officials at five large Indian lenders who said they're assessing the financial ramifications of the punitive levies on their clients, especially those in the export-dependent textile, gem and jewelery sectors. They all spoke on the condition of anonymity, as the information is not public.

They added that some export orders are being put on hold while trade negotiations play out between New Delhi and Washington. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Rates Undo The move comes after Trump doubled tariffs on India-made items in the space of a week, with the additional levy effective by Aug. 27, bringing the cumulative tariff to 50%. Businesses worry that this will severely disrupt shipments to the US by making Indian exports prohibitively expensive. The industries hit hardest — they are also among the most labor-intensive — have asked the Narendra Modi-led government to introduce measures to reduce the pain from the new trade barriers. Live Events Bloomberg Indian lenders are concerned the trade war will create new balance sheet stress and stoke painful memories of the country's distressed debt problem a few years back. Some of their key queries, according to the people, pertain to cash flows, business continuity plans and burden-sharing efforts with other stakeholders such as distributors. Some banks have begun to identify the most vulnerable clients internally by checking on financial parameters such as the percentage of revenue coming from the US, said two people Bloomberg News spoke to. The exposure to the highest-risk borrowers due to US levies isn't currently that worrisome, they added. Rollback Hopes Most of the exporters these bankers have spoken to about the trade issue said they're hopeful for a partial rollback of the US tariffs. Indian exporters have already started redrawing strategies to deal with the unexpected levies through measures such as expanding in other markets, shifting output from India to elsewhere and exploring acquisitions in the US. Some cash-rich exporters can sustain losses for a year or two but they worry about longer-term loss of business to rivals in Bangladesh and Pakistan, a person said. These neighboring nations face lower US levies than India. India's Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal told Parliament late last month that the federal government is engaging with exporters to assess the impact of tariffs and will take 'all necessary steps to secure and advance our national interest.' The Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council is seeking support such as finance relief and duty drawbacks. Other requests include deferment of interest on working capital facilities by six months, 90-day pre-shipment and penalty-free loan payment extensions and a freeze on downward revisions of credit ratings, Kirit Bhansali, the trade group's chairman, said in an Aug. 7 statement. Rating Actions Rating companies haven't taken any action yet on exporters' creditworthiness. However, borrowing companies are worried and seeking government assistance to prevent any slip in ratings that will spike the cost of funding. Other Indian business representatives want to see more liquidity in the banking system to offset damage from the US tariffs. India's government should push 'banks to lower the rate of interest' to keep businesses afloat, said Rahul Mehta, director at Mumbai-based Creative Garments Pvt. Removal of import duties on raw materials should also help, Mehta said, calling for a government response akin to Covid-era emergency policies
