Honestly I never trust if casino has made announcement they got hack by hack and i've big question,how hackers can attacking an online casino?

Your question is a bit funny, how can they hack an online casino? Ask the hackers if you really want to know it, sure that great hackers can hack any sites they want to hack. No matter what is the site (gambling, trading, forum, news site, etc) as long as the hackers want to do it then they will try everything till they find the way to hack the site.

i think the op want to know that either some has invested money in casino and then the casino hacked by hackers and he faced a lot of money lost. to me i do not have such an experience, although i played gambling through different online casinos but still i never feel that either any casino have been hacked.

Even big exchanges like bitfinex has been hacked even though they have lot of security, i hear that some people complaining about their hacking money in casino sites. But i hear that they din't lost much money in their when it was hacked.

Big exchanges are far better target, as they usually have far mort BTC in hot wallet stored. Bitcoin is still a new tech and we have no idea how to build strong security.
Usually security of an exchange is breached because their system is proven to be flawed by design (Poloniex, Bitfinex&BitGo).

No matter how hard they try , they can't hack it

Hackers try to get into every website these days. I run a betting tips site, which is only a little over a month old and already hackers tried to get into it over 8k times. Lucky, it's pretty easy to set up security for a basic website but sites that handle a lot of money have more advanced hackers going after them, so I am sure they spend a lot of money trying to keep up with the level of security they need to protect their assets. As online casinos and exchanges being hacked, there are many that had to learn their lesson the hard way to increase security to keep things safe from hackers. In a perfect world, programmers would be using their skills to advance our tech, not for crimes. But we don't live in a perfect world.

Hacker are more clever than casino owner , I'm wonder why not they build their own casino with their skill

Hackers make money by stealing. You really want one to own an online casino?

It's not the matter of how clever the hackers and how dumb the casino owner
Just remember nothing is safe in this world , especially if you talking about an online security
No matter how hard / good a security system there will always something to exploit
And it's part of someone job with ability to break it out and make them to fix it.

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.

What can I see is gambling site have more chance to get hack, beside hack their hot wallet, it can be a compromised script, means the hacker can exploit the system script to earn profit, although it can't affect to other users funds and I'm still question if such case count as hack or not https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/player-cheated-online-bitcoin-gaming-site-1-million-reward-offered-help/

There were some incidents of hacking of casino site this past months but I think all the funds were safe. Hackers will always try to hack any site that they think they can get money. They will always try their luck to get what they wanted.

If I'm not wrong most of these casino owners aware of these hacks and they will not store all bitcoins in any one account instead they will be storing in many other offline accounts, and they will load some coins for daily transactions, and anyway they will not make any instant payment for larger amounts. So what they claim hack is mostly suspicious, and I don't believe it.

Yes Casino owners take precaution on keeping majority of the fund in cold storage.

We wont really know on what would the things that hackers do since we are not hackers at all. Hackers do have different capabilities and skills and which depend on them if they could able to hack anything.I do believe that those hackers are just still there lurking and waiting for the right time.For now,i didnt hear any online casino that is being hacked.

Well with how advanced and unbelievably smart ha kers are nowadays, it's not impossible to lose money over casinos through hacking. Especially o line casinos. So it really is a risk that we take whenever we place money as capilas for our gambling or in online wallets. We just have to really be careful and make the necessary security checks like making sure your passwords are secure and don't put all your money or btc's in the same place.

Hackin is the most profitable way to earn money for criminals as they do not need any mask or guns but can hack anything at the comfort of their home and a computer and high profile criminals are spending a lot of time into it and there were major hacks in almost of the websites be it gambling or exchange sites and those hackers are not petty ones to provide some trails and so is the reason you wont find anyone being caught.

Have you ever heard of a virus in ios? no because apple pays their developers and coders enough and they never reveal or leak anything related to ios source code, people end up getting hacked because they use the lamest security measures and copy paste programs, scripts and codes from others.
A hacker is not able to hack something he/she has no past experiences with. So in order to be safe from hacks is better to write your own unique codes and design every thing from scratch and never disclose your source code to anyone if you don't trust them.

I never heard of a casino being hacked maybe it's because they kept it from the public to be able to continue their business and they replaced the stolen funds from their own pockets.

i do not hear any of casino has been hacked so far but i don't know for the real, and i am sure that the casino will be secure their sites and they don't want to get hacked and maybe they will rented some security advisor to secure their sites.

For casinos in real world there's no way for you to hacked them. Only seen it in movies. But thru online there are some casino sites that got closed because the bankrolls has been hacked I think that was last year. Everything is possible in net world so that's why hackers take advantage of it.

i dont think this happen before. well we all know that security is just an illusion but then again when it comes on money i dont think they're restoring their money on their site. i think theres a wallet of bitcoins who holds their funds so i dont think there some issue regarding this. so i think theres no casino have been hacked and loosed a lot of money.
