It hasn't been proven to be random but you can't just say "it will definitely fail this test". If you actually perform your test you'll see that it appears to succeed, you just can't prove that it will succeed no matter how long you run it.

Pi cannot work for a random number generator because although the numbers may roughly conform to the serial randomness test, the numbers aren't random. So if you are a player and you can see that you are on the portion 3.1415, you know the next digits are 926535... A random number generator must be dynamic or it's utterly predictable, and purposeless.
