The deal is locked in before you see a card.
In one line
Every hand is fixed before the game starts, and you can check afterwards that it was. No ads, no purchases, no account, and no connection to anything.
What makes it different
Card and dice games are widely believed to cheat, and their makers can only deny it. This one commits to its randomness before play and reveals it afterwards, so a player can check the claim instead of trusting it. The method comes from gambling regulation, where the same argument had to be settled with arithmetic. The full explanation.
