maybe there is casino that have been hacked but we don't know about the truth because so far i am playing gambling in several of gambling sites, i don't hear any casino gets hacked. but i don't know if hacking is the other reason for casino to get closed and shutdown their business and take the members money. i only know that exchanges is being hacked but they still continue their business and they upgrade their security to keep the sites still online.

There are several casinos that has been hacked in the past but their investors does not bite the story, most of the casinos who declared they are hacked are those operating in a scams, there purpose is just to invite investors and when they already reach their target, they run away with the money.
That is a lesson that everyone should learn, when investing go for the reputable gambling sites and the long time operating sites.

This is always an on going process in btc casino. Hackers try to hack the casino while the owners try to up the security so the hacker cant hack it. Even popular exchange or btc casino also fail victim to these attacks so there is no perm status as unhackable. Betking and primedice are great example of such.

The so called prime dice hack is done by knowing the server seed and he did not hack any bitcoin ,he was withdrawing the money in a normal manner and they did not see any irregularities in the bets and only found that out at a later time. Exchanges that got hacked got the worst hit and i am not sure about the betking thing.

Well, i have spend 1 and half year in gambling, but i never hear any bad incident about gambling sites hacking. Only one incident of exchange hacking of Bitfinex and nothing more. But it was exchange, and i see all gambling sites are trust-able more than investment sites. People trust them and use their money into online gambling sites for play and also i am one of them.

i was talking to someone about bitcoin the other day, introducing him to bitcoin and also talking about what trading is and where he can do it.

then when i was talking about risks of keeping his bitcoin on exchange wallet and how many of them were hacked i was thinking that gambling sites are similar to an exchange, they are handling bitcoin (it may not be as large as an exchange but it is still big) and they have hot wallets.

so have any of them been hacked as exchanges were hacked?

if you are mentioning any here please add bitcoin price of that time or give a date so we can see how much money it was lost.

So far I haven't heard or read any news about a gambling site that has been compromised or breached by hackers. they maybe the same as exchange as they are holding tons of bitcoins to operate and roll it over to their customers. But I don't know if that is true that gambling sites has tighter security rather than exchange sites.

lol really? you never heard a single story about this?
the most popular story was about how hufflepuff stealing bitcoin from primedice though a 'legitimate' rolls (confirmed hacked),
full story read here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hufflepuff-making-2k-btc-on-primedice-nov-2014-march-2015-update-he-cheated-843892 ,
they lost 2,000 bitcoin or worth to $1 million that time if i am not wrong.

you are correct becaus the story has happened in August 2014 and by that time (according to bitcoincharts) price of bitcoin was about 500-550 USD which makes the amount about 1 million dollars.

but what i don't understand is how he withdrew that amount. even if it was multiple occasions, these sites usually don't allow automatic withdrawals of big amounts. which means you can withdraw 0.1BTC for example in a second but if you want to (for example) withdraw 20BTC it goes to manual mode and it takes longer.

Maybe he used multiple accounts on the site and withdraw it partially. But i think based on what i read, he withdraw a part of it and the owner of the gambling site approved considering that the user will play more and recover the winnings, but the user didn't gamble again and take away a million dollar USD. Lucky guy

as i said it was considered as legitimate bets ,
but then primedice realized it wasn't legit but hufflepuff have exploited their system (not sure what exactly it is) ,
so they just allow him to withdraw those 2,000 bitcoin ,
and acussing him after that , don't take seriously my words for more reliable info just contact edward directly.

The problem is, if a Bitcoin casino claims it was hacked, you do not really know if it was hacked or if it was an inside job.

Same is valid for the Bitcoin exchanges. You would need to have access to the server compromised, to check what happened there...

that is true but at the same time i don't see what can a casino gain from lying about getting hacked unless they run away afterwards (which i don't know of any examples that said they were hacked and ran away) but so far when an exchange service says they were hacked, they run away with the money and never show their faces again which proves something!

Try to hack a casino and receive a prize if succeeded, that's not stealing and is legit and honest earning method nowadays for many talented hackers.
Your question is common like has any one ever robbed a bank? no they asked nicely only with pointing a gun in addition of asking

.

Yeah, that promos should be good for professional hackers, generally people can't hack it and it is wasting time, real hacker gurus are hacking big exchanges wallets, you know bitfinex 6 figure btc hack case

I have gone through that link it's a great article, and after watching that video still i can't believe that how he did that job. He cheated casino it is wrong, but for his intelligence, we have to hats off him. Instead of paying casino he gained 1000 BTC just 1% house edge. It was a bad day for the Primedice site. But Hufflepuff becomes a millionaire in a single day.

If you Google it you will see a lot of information about hacking a casino. Is it possible to hack online casino? Well Yes, most probably someone who have inside information of their system or someone who has advanced IT knowledge. But at the end, all of them will be caught and will face the punishment for their crime.

i never heard of a gambling site being hacked. But accounts in a gambling site is a different story.
In my opinion, a gambling site can only be hacked by an inside job. Either devs have ensured a backdoor or the owner decided to screw investors.

Yeah when it comes to accounts, i even have friends who had theirs hacked. We have to be really careful in putting money in gambling accounts even in online wallets as these hackers are real and have had a lot of victims already. It's best to have several wallets and to scatter your money so you won't lose everything if your main acct us hacked

I have heard of not gambling site wallet getting hacked but instead the gambling site is got hacked and the hacker hacked the games and got the next winning seed and cheated with the site. In this option one job was done by the gambling site developer itself as he knows about the site gambling application so he hacked it and cheated and on other incident one of the hacker itself cracked the gambling game application and got the next winning seed and hacked it. But in both the option both the hackers got caught.
