The method I have in mind will not tell you that the
dice was really
random (balanced). 

Technically, it's not a test on the statistical hypothesis
of each face
of a dice having probability equal to 1/6. As you
said, this would take
a lot of moves and, by the way, will not help in verifying
that the on-
line site software hasn't overriden the random number
generator on a 
specific position in a specific match.
