Frequently Asked Questions
Is the coin flip truly random?
Yes. Our virtual coin flip uses a cryptographically secure random number generator provided by your browser. This means the outcome is computationally unpredictable and just as fair as a real-world coin toss.
Can I use this for official purposes?
While our tool is designed to be as fair as possible, it's intended for casual, entertainment, and informal decision-making. For official competitions, always defer to the rules and regulations of the governing body.
Why use a virtual coin flip instead of a real coin?
Convenience! You always have your phone or computer with you. Our tool is always available, never gets lost, and provides a fun visual experience. Plus, with the "Save Result" feature, you have a timestamped record of the outcome, which a real coin can't provide.
