Topic: Finding a Bug - page 5. (Read 650 times)

Yeah much better to report the bug at the point of detection regardless if the casino offers a bug bounty or not,  I think it is the responsibility of the gamblers to report bugs this is for the betterment of boplayers'r's winning safety and also the casino who may lose money through bugs abuse by gamblers.

We had a situation that resulted from bug abuse in one local gambling site in my country,  the reports from the players state that the gambling site refused to pay them their winning and they decided to come on social media to call them out,  but in responding to that,  the casino statement says that the bets were won via bugs abuse and now the becomes who to pay,  is it the casino due to inability to tackle bugs,  or the player who abuse such bugs.

Reporting a bug is something very important to newly launched casino and there should be compensation for it however, there is always a time of agreements between users of the site and the owners of the site sometimes you could be required to find those bugs and if you find any then you may report to them to get compensated. Like what others already said before reporting any bugs finds in casino you should be able to reach an agreements between casino operators before revealing those bugs otherwise they wouldn't want to reward for the bugs you find from their casino, meanwhile I suggest you should reach out to them before reporting any of the bugs finds out if they don't set any bug rewarding program.

You should first check if the casino where you are reporting the bug if they have a bug bounty if there is one they will redirect you to that page where you can read the terms, the rewards and how to report the bug report, just be sure that you are working on a reputable casino, there have been report of casinos that deny rewards on bounty reports, because they classify it as already resolve or the bug bounty hunter already exploited to buy to profit, they do this to deny payment to the bug bounty hunter.
Bug bounty hunters is not an easy job so they deserve rewards when their reports are valid because they can potentially lose a lot of money if the bug is not resolve.

The best thing you can do if you find a bug on some casino is to send a private message to officials of that casino then negotiate about something you find in their casino since if there's huge threat especially on data leaking of platform penetrating which can cause a financial loss to them for sure they will do their own diligence to reward what you report to them.

But if you find out some minor bugs then I guess its up for them to decide if they reward you but if not still don't feel bad about it and still report what you have been found since you could just think about the safety of the people using that casino and their will be no interference gonna happen to them. But still as said for many times its up for the casino owner or officials to see if your bug report is worth to get rewarded since they are the one who can determine the severity of the bug you found.

There's no need to pressure him of that "be a good human" phrase. Let him decide, it is not his responsibility too. If ever it it really an important bug to be fixed immediately, I think that the casino should consider compensating him for the effort he did, if and only if he didn't exploited it beforehand.

It is still depend to both party if one would choose between to let the casino know or not. And if the casino would compensate or not. I'm sure though that the casino will give some reward if they think that the issue is major or critical.

If you know the casino is holding a contest to find the bug, you can report it to the support service. After that, the casino will select the most critical bugs and award them a prize. That could be the casino's assessment criteria.

But if the casino doesn't have a bug finding contest, we won't be able to get the prize because the casino doesn't ask its members or anyone else to look for bugs in the casino. So first, ensure the casino is holding a contest to find those bugs.

But if the casino is kind, the person who finds the bug could be rewarded. It depends on the kindness of the casino. We can't expect much.

If there would be no bounty or reward then people would really just simply ignore or would really just moved on and dont mind but on the time that they do saw that they could really be able to benefit out then they would really be taking advantage of it.If there's bounty then there's no doubt that they would really be reporting it but it would really be just that depending on a certain individual.
Sites cant really be perfect on which there would really be those kind of flaws or errors on code and this is why you would really be that able to experience it out
but most likely sites wont really be having those kind of issues because once they would really be launching up their site, its already that polished.

One way to address the issue is to report it to the customer support of the website. It's essential to provide them with the necessary information and evidence of the bugs you have discovered. It's worth noting that not all online casinos offer bug bounties, so I'm unsure whether the website you're referring to has one.

You can ask the customer support team if they have a bug bounty program and inquire about the rewards that come with it. In some cases, you may be given a bonus play or a cash prize that you can use or withdraw.

A casino can pay a tribute in the form of money to the person telling them about the bug about the casino site but they are not bound to pay. It is only for the good will if they pay but you cannot demand anything and i would suggest not to even expect a reward for it.
This is different from the bug bounty where the casino announces to find the bug in their site and they are bound to pay for it.


Lol, this can be called as Black mailing as i know the bug in your site, pay me reward else I will exploit it   
The casinos won't pay in advance because then everyone would be emailing the casino support team even if they do not have any big to report.

Well it depends on the casini itself, some casini already hired someone with expertise in the field of information technology (IT) that will exploit the things that are vulnerable in the specific website, this persons or IT persons are classified as hackers but in a good side where in they will find the vulnerabilities of a website and will report to the owner to fix this issue, sometimes even the hired hackers are the one that will fix thr issue. But if a casino website is generous then if an a regular customer reports a bug or vulnerability in a website then they can give a reward to that customer either funds to the casino or money itself.

If you are aiming to be hired as a bug hunter or vulnerability tester, or tester itself then it will take some degree to do so because why would a website will hire someone that has no degree or proof of expertise in the said field.

be a Good human , Help the site find that bug and if they send you cash then thank
you but if not then just think of it as a act of kind since this is New Year mate.
also if you think they are not paying then leave it, let them find that bug so you have no problem.

If you find a bug in a casino, all you need to understand is how much loss the casino will gain if the bug is known to others, or what profit the user will get if he finds the bug. Once you find out you can contact the casino admin or send an email to support to ask if the casino has a reward for the bug seeker or not. If so, usually the reward varies depending on the bug you find. Otherwise, you can use the bug for yourself, LOL

I
It is generosity and not obligation , the casino site should give bounty for Bug reporting because this will help their business go further but you cannot force them to do so , meaning this is about  either the site is generous or selfish .

Better ask their team first  so you can expect something in return after reporting , and if they deny paying then don't sent the report but for me personally ? if i found bug in a casino specially those one that I am playing?  reporting is not a big  case for me as long as this will help improving the site i trusted .
and to prevent more abusing and progress will go further to this site i  trusted.

Customers would absolutely exploit it for profit if not already. I don't believe it's a bug that has been reported before because it would result in major loss. I have reported it to support and my host did say that I would "probably" be compensated depending the bug. I just hope that doing the right thing was the right move and they see the severity. Fingers crossed

If they do not offer a bounty, will you still report the bug is the question? Most sites will offer a bounty but like others said, it depends on the bug.

I would report the bug either way.

Completely depends on what can be exploited from that said bug. Can a customer/player win more than he normally would(exploiting). In that case, the casino would pay bounty. If its a bug that lets casino earn more? I guess they'll just refund you the money wagered(individually) and maybe fix it.

If that has been found for the very first time then I think that you will be compensated for it but then, they can always claim that it has been reported before and they are just taking time for their actions to be made and fix that bug you have found. Since it is holidays, very few working force and many probably are on leave to cater that bug. Means that they can void it and say something like that but I just hope that you will get significant bounty for it and good luck.

I advise you to do the following: if the casino where you found a bug is a casino that is on this forum, then when you contact the casino and tell them that you found a bug and they tell you to first show them where is the proof of this, so you tell them that you will provide proof to some trusted members of this forum (DT members) and that these members will confirm to the casino that you are telling the truth, after that the members will show the casino a part of the proof and you are constantly monitoring the bug so that it is not fixed after you have shown the proof and they do not pay you, if the casino really has a reward for anyone who finds a bug in the casino and they do not pay you

then you could file scam charges against them. Now if the casino does not have any bug bounty program then you cannot contact the casino saying that you discovered a bug and want financial compensation for your discovery, you can alert the casino about the bug but without asking for financial compensation. But if the case has compensation for those who find a bug, avoid negotiating alone with the casino because they can deceive you and you won't receive anything and you won't be able to prove anything, I've seen a case here on the forum of someone who discovered a bug in the casino , he alerted the casino and sent proof and the casino fixed the bug and did not pay him anything and as the person negotiated alone he did not have witnesses to confirm that when he discovered the bug the casino had not fixed it

They arent accountable not unless if they do make out some bounty program or having those announcement on having that reward if ever there's some exploit discovery.
This is why it would really be that depending whether you would be getting paid or not once you do report a bug. Most of the time if people find out some exploit
and this does really increase out the chance for them to make money then for sure it would be spoiled but for those who are minding about being ethical and honest
then reporting it out immediately. Results might be given some bounty or not depending into their discretion then it would be just better that you should not expect too much on this regard.
