Too many crits.

We play normally aside from the dm rolling actual dice instead of using rolld20 for it. I have noticed that he crits my characters over 1/3 of the time. It happens to me exclusively and I have counted a total of over 12 crits a session, sometimes 3 in a row. Is my DM taking advantage of nobody seeing his dice or am I just really unlucky (then again his die is probably lopsided)? This happens every session and every session a character of mine dies only because of the crit damage based on the game we are playing. Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this as it is really annoying me.

As the die rolling is taking place outside of the client this is really a social issue. The simplest solution is for the DM to use Roll20's dice engine which has been confirmed many times over as being random enough to do the job of an actual d20. As for the DM cheating, it is certainly nothing we can speculate one but I'd like him to roll for my monsters as they never hit!
Well I have tried to get him to use it in the past, but he says that he would rather use his dice every time I ask. He even states that if those dice are rolling crits he wants to keep using them because why wouldn't he if it makes him better. This is the response that made me even begin to suspect cheating, but he just wont roll online.
I'm sorry to hear that, but this is really a social issue for you guys to resolve amoungst yourselves, rather than a technical question for the Roll20 interface. I recommend you head over to <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder_RPG/new/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder_RPG/new/</a> and post there(or whichever equivalent Reddit Forum is for your game).&nbsp; The community is pretty helpful.
If your GM feels that he can "win", that is the problem. I roll all attacks in the open, though I do roll perception and other things "behind the screen". A random sequence of numbers can have runs of clustered results. A roulette wheel in Monte Carlo once rolled black 26 times in a row in 1913, millions were lost betting against the wheel, this led to a statistical misconception called "The Monte Carlo Fallacy", where people believed that a number was more likely to show up the more times that it did not. Honest dice or any other number generator have the same probability to roll any number on any given roll.
Perhaps you tell your DM that the die roller won't work for you. (And if the other players play along all the better) &nbsp;Then tell him you and the other players will have to roll your own dice as well. &nbsp;But do you really want to play with this kind of dm?

These two said it best.&nbsp; This is a social issue, outside the control of Roll20.&nbsp; You have our sympathy, but for this you're best off hitting reddit for discussing this.
