If not to maximizing and preserving gamblers privacy there wouldn't be any need why any betting app will always require log in for each session but though it is optional for any to choose or the kind of gambling platforms with such interface or not but the truth must that security of our privacy should be hold at a very high esteemed because at must times leaving our phone with our much of security makes it prone and vulnerable to intruders that might mean harm to us,
Yes, it is optional only for some sites. This is why we have that 'remember me' message with a small box that needs to be ticked in the login page. There are still sites where that feature is not working because even if I ticked the small box, I am still being logged out every time I visit them. I think that many phone users do always have a PIN, password, and other security methods enabled on their phones, so we are still sure that we are safe from intruders even if we leave our phones unattended.
sometimes it can even be the very person we trusted that will abuse such privilege if given.
Really? Dang that's scary but I think you got a point because we can easily trust them anyways with our belongings or password, etc.. and they may get curious one day to open our accounts without our consent especially if they got involved in activities like gambling or something that is highly addictive.
All the gambling sites that I have used that have announcement thread on this forum make use of app 2FA which you can download on your device for use. It is advised that the 2FA setup that you have should be on another device.
I think a 2FA can also be a code delivered to our emails or phone numbers and we don't need to download them anymore. The 2FA that you mean that needs a download, must be the Google Authenticator. I find this one hassle, so I don't use it if it's not mandatory.
If it is on another device, the attackers can have access to your account but will not have access to withdraw your money.
What do you mean by this? And what if the phone had a lock? And then our financial accounts has too? If about the betting accounts, some of them can ask us to log in again but it is not easy because we will be needing to re-enter our password again. They can also ask a 2FA during logging in.
