This is Australian. Presumably, they are required to provide a back door into the quantum fluctuations.
I use the ANU service to choose quantum random lottery numbers: https://projects.adamiley.com/lottery

Another source I've used in the past is https://www.fourmilab.ch/hotbits/

Quantum sources for random numbers (and even quantum cyber-security in general) seem to be gaining traction - see here for a pretty good TED talk on the topic: https://www.ted.com/talks/vikram_sharma_how_quantum_physics_...
Interesting to see that their test results are often very good (most of the NIST tests), but in certain other tests (Diehard Overlapping sums) there is p value inflation. I wonder where that comes from.

Classical technical noise.
psi effects?
Should I retrieve a stream of random numbers, wouldn't it be highly probable, that somebody else receives the same, or similar, stream, if they request it at the same time?
