There are white hat hackers and there are black hat hackers, which one you are talking about changes too much about the exploits in a casino (or any website). Normally a white hat hacker is paid just to take a look at the website, however bad part about them is the fact that almost all of them wants to be paid, very rarely a casino does "x amount if you can hack us" type of deal and white hacks already knows if its hackable they can already hack and take what they want, if it is not hackable that doesn't worth their time, so in order to not take anything when they hack, they want beforehand money. Black hat is just the opposite, it is dudes like this one who steal whatever they can, it doesn't matter if it is 1 satoshi or 1 btc, they just steal if they can.
@lixer you’re correct indeed there’re two types of hackers but if a casino is reputed then they’ll pay the white hat hacker as he’s found a bug which needs fixing, but if the white hat hacker decides to get greedy then the casino has no option to ban him as and when they find out about him.
Well, put yourself in the shoes of the hacker. It is really not all that easy to make money in this world, and what will bitdice pay? 100 dollars? A thousand? Ten thousand? Not really all that much will they?
So, the hacker who is already a person basically trying to find loopholes in websites which is not something a regular person would do, can go into the casino and steal money as much as he can without getting caught really, without getting sued, basically without having anything at all that is terrible for them, not a day in jail, basically live life like nothing happened, and expect them to just report it instead of stealing? That doesn't really sound reasonable.
I mean if I found one, I would report it, why? Because, I am not a hacker and at most I would be a beta tester at that point, but you can't expect a hacker to not really hack, that is what they do.
It will depend on what are the motive on the first place.
If we do talk about a pure hacker then most likely they wouldnt mind too much on a bounty or reward on finding bugs or loopholes because their primary motive in the first place is to hack a site and
abuse it as they can.
If we do talk a regular player or tester who had accidentally nor purposely found a bug then they will surely report it because they havent intended to steal out money because they do know that its
bad and punishable but well, all things will depend on persons mindset.
