THE QUICK ANSWER
Use the inputs for the original opening and the correct version of the verifier. The spinner does not determine the recorded case result.
01
The opening record matters more than the spinner
CSGOEmpire says a case result is generated when the case is opened; the spinner displays it. If the animation froze or looked different from your expectation, start from the case-history record.
Keep its time, case type, result and reference. This is a result-generation check; a later skin trade or balance movement needs its own record.
From original inputs to recorded item
Original seed pair
The pair used for the selected opening.
Nonce and quantity
The opening counter and relevant case size.
Calculated ticket
Output from the matching official verifier.
Item range
Compare the ticket with the case’s recorded outcome range.

Copy the four script inputs for that opening
The published case verifier takes an unhashed server seed, nonce, client seed and ticket quantity. The nonce increases when that seed is used. The article locates case information under Cases on the Fairness page.
An active server-seed hash is not the revealed seed expected by that script. The help says regeneration reveals the prior server seed; retain the opening’s original pair instead of substituting whichever pair is current now.
| Server and client seeds | Use the pair belonging to the opening. |
|---|---|
| Nonce | Use that opening’s counter, not the next visible value. |
| Ticket quantity | Use the quantity for the relevant case. |
03
A matching ticket also needs the matching case table
The official instructions calculate a ticket and then check which item range contains it. Open the relevant case type to compare the range with the skin recorded for that opening.
Do not treat a ticket number as the item’s price or as a guarantee of a particular Steam copy. Keep the table or result details attached to the same opening when asking support to reproduce a mismatch.
Three common sources of a false mismatch
Hash instead of seed
A commitment cannot replace the revealed script input.
New pair instead of old
The current pair may belong to later openings.
Wrong dated verifier
The article separates openings before 18 April 2024.
Wrong table
The ticket must be compared with the relevant case’s range.
The cards identify input-selection errors, not evidence that a particular result was manipulated.

Older openings have a different documented script
The article links a separate verifier for openings before 18 April 2024. If you are checking an old record, its date is part of selecting the procedure.
Using a newer formula on an older opening can create a false mismatch. State the article or verifier version you used rather than reporting only that a number was different.
05
Send a reproducible ticket mismatch
Retain the opening reference, date, case, original inputs, calculated ticket and the recorded item range. Check spelling, whitespace and counter selection before escalating.
If the ticket matches but the item delivery does not, switch to the delivery record and explain that separate issue. A reproduced random draw does not confirm that a withdrawal completed.
BEFORE YOU CONTINUE
Quick checklist
- Start with the original opening, date and case.
- Use the revealed seed and original nonce.
- Select the documented verifier version for the date.
- Compare the calculated ticket with that case’s item range.
