Just a question. Is it then possible for a game's code to see the premium status (and/or elo) of a player? If that's the case, that's one argument we lose against RNG conspirationists...

Since game code does not know premium status, the game code actually uses a dedicated API function BGA added. This function returns which factions a specified player ID is allowed to use.

Rolled dice in TI4 use a bga_rand call same as all other games are required to, and this is mentioned in an entry linked from the TI4 FAQ bug entry if you are curious.
