I did not try to say that internet provider is a thread, but thinking that online gambling is safer because nobody is around you is also wrong. When connected to the internet, you are never alone. How can someone say that offline casinos lack security? Then what kind of security does online gambler has? An antivirus?
Officially purchased OS and an antivirus 1 year subscription is what most online gamblers have. And saying that offline casinos are not insecure, because there is a story that someone got beaten and robbed. I am sure that has happened not even on a territory of an offline casino.
Can this happen on an online casino user:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5506402.msg64434464;topicseenIt is about someone that won $3000 on an offline casino. He was attacked and his two legs were shot while the robber wanted to forcefully take the money from him.
Online casino is more private than offline casino.
That is just a rare case, and in the topic that you have provided it is mentioned that the area what this accident has happened isnt the most safe. I dont know how this really happened, but how those two robbers found out about his win? Was he flashing it to everyone?
This can not happen on online casino directly, but that guy could have been robbed when he was trying to withdraw his winning from online casino from ATM.
😂 Your imagination is vain, why and how would anyone rob a person trying to withdraw from an ATM machine when you as a robber don't even know the person or know if he has money or not, and besides, aren't there security guides on ATM machines in the country where you live?
The only time somone withdrawing from an Atm machine can be robbed is when and if he or she goes to an Atm machine to withdraw at night, but then, I don't understand why anyone in their right senses will want to go to an Atm machine by night to withdraw.
And you are even asking how the robbers got to know the man, it's simple. Winning in land based casinos isn't like winning online, when someone wins a gambling game in an online casino, there is usually alot of shoutings out of excitement, so the man must have been shouting, jumping and running up and down out of excitement, not knowing there were criminals lurking around and they noticed him, and decided to follow him while he was leaving the casino.
