But many is so lazy to put a security measure to avoid those hacking issue on their account and they will always threath the 2FA as a hassle option to put in their accounts that's why it's not surprising to see man got fall from hackings. And your right we should follow the recommendation since the casino knows it is best for any to make their account more safety.

That is because they don't think much about security for their account, whether their account in the gambling website or on the other website, and once their account gets hacked, they feel regret. They try to ask other people how they can get their account back, even get their money back. But everything already happened, and they can't do anything to have their money back. The casino wants to protect their member's accounts, but if their members seem don't care about their account, that is their member's decision.

It is as simple as that, we must not see 2FA as a waste of time but as an opportunity to secure our coins further, since the price of bitcoin has been going up a great deal of hackers have turned their attention once again to this market and in order to avoid becoming a victim of them then we need to secure our coins to the best of our abilities and 2FA is a great feature that casinos offer us, as even in the case a hacker gets access to your account they still cannot move your coins no matter what they do.

Yes, installing 2FA is not too long, which will help us prevent hackers from penetrating our account. Right now, the hacker search for their target in many ways and they improve their skills by learning many things. So if we don't concern our account, the hacker will enter our account and take our money. I think if we follow whatever the casino suggestion, together, we can protect our account, and the hacker will not have a chance to penetrate the member's account.

A big loss in USD amount this day and I hope you get to know your lesson now and for the others who don't care about 2FA. Time for you to double-check your computer's security surely you have some worm in your computer or your phone for the hacker to have access to your Bitsler account. This is the reason why websites ask us to activate 2FA ahead of time, to avoid things like this.

It is an important lesson for all of us, not just for @OP. We must aware and install 2FA for our security, and hopefully, after we install 2FA, our account will be safe from the hacker. If the website asks us to install 2FA or other securities, we must follow their suggestion because that is the way for us to protect our account. I am sure that the site will always take care of their member's accounts, and they will not get a problem if all of their members follow their advice. Although the hacker can find the other way to hack the member's account, at least, we can prevent the hacking.

Personally I have installed 2fa on my mobile device, yet there's no attempt happened like these cases mentioned here. However having access on different casinos particular with unknown sites, definitely put your account in danger. Many hackers are waiting along to act on their preys, so we should he careful. Never activate your location and using vpn sometimes quite risky. The huge amount of 0.097btc is really painful, we shouldn't allow this to happen to anybody again.

This is the only complain we heard, I think Bitsler can still have its good reputation. Problem is, OP failed to put a 2FA in his account, it's already recommended to put to ensure better security, trading sites and gambling sites accounts should not be treated differently in terms of security.

2FA is not a panacea man. As it said before, he don't have problems with another gambling site where he don't have 2FA too. Very weird for honest.

This isn't really an issue on the site itself but rather it do particularly talks about users security means where they should really be mindful when it comes to passwords and security of their own accounts and that would basically starts into its own computer or device that had been using.

People wouldn't really mind too much until they had lost money, they wont really be taking some importance when the incident do happen before.
Its really just a waste of money to know that the amount is already big on this current market price.

So take this as a lesson learned.

I think it's too easy excuse for gambling site, like "oh, you didn't enable 2FA it's your fault". Why to not forbid to deposit if 2FA is disabled? Or not to put big banner before depositing like "YOU SHOULD ENABLE 2FA" ?

From your statement, I can see that it cannot be considered as loss for you even if you have lost 0.097 btc because you have profited a good amount of money from your technique in the past so you can just consider it as your bad experience and make sure to avoid it to happen again.

It's good that you already enabled your 2FA, if you have some amount that you want to protect it will be better if you can enable all the security features in the site so the scammers can't easily move your money if in case they can hack your account.
You can't simply stare at someone if they rob you 100 dollars just because you have 1000 dollars in your wallet. Money is money no matter the amount so you can't take hacks as easy but it is not possible to recover so better secure the account from future hacks.
Exactly as he won it fair and square and the exploit reward was a reward for the issue he found on the game. Just because you've earned enough from the past for helping exploiting a bug or issue doesn't mean losing your money on what you earn on the current will justify something.
But the issue isn't on the site anymore as OP have been manifested by some virus that made his account vulnerable to hacks. Having a 2FA and additional security measure will help secure your account for potential hackers and prevent this issue from happening.

As most have mentioned, I really do sympathize with your loss.

In all of the websites that I visit in which I create an account, I always make it a point to enable the 2FA features to provide extra security. Though 2FA sometimes require some additional information, such kind of hassle is justifiable in order to at least protect my account. Given that the online gambling industry is notorious nowadays due to the covid pandemic, lots of scammers are trying to take advantage of this opportunity to hack/scam others.

Let this be a learning lesson for you, OP. Next time, enable your 2FA in order to avoid this kind of incident happening in the future.

Feel so sorry for your loss but that already happened and we couldn't turn the money back to you anymore, scammers are always there and will try to steal money from other people so be careful when transferring huge amount of money, maybe your device is already coped with a virus which helps those scammers steal your money, that is why using the 2FA is an important thing for everyone to avoid things like this.

Losing even a single cents of bitcoin today was such a huge loss and every cents count now due to all time high price and high deman of bitcoin. Well the things have already done and we can't undo it, i feel sorry about your lost but life must go on and so even trading and gambling. Let's take this as a lesson to everyone of us and learned from it. It is better to store your money in a hardwallet instead which i guess can secured your money in it.

We can't do anything, because the fund hasn't gone to the cold wallet or something. It's been withdrawn by an user who has taken control of your account. Only his mind can make a solution. I really appreciate the honest work you've done to the gambling site returning 32 Bitcoins. I don't know whether it is true or not, you're awesome if it's true.

You said right! it will take few minutes of your time activating this feature, but the help that it will give to guard and secure your funds will be more stronger than doing nothing. Learning from how things went bad gives a person a better outlook with possibilities that may take place along the way. This experienced will make him more attentive and more furious with how he will take care of his funds not just with his gambling activities but in every way that securities are in need to attend.
IIRC, there were people and I think they're not newbies that said it's too hassle for them to activate it and to think that it will only take a few minutes of their time, they chose not to do so. But I hope that they're fine especially in this bull run. Experience after experiences from personal and other people will make everyone do it.

A big lesson to many others those are not doing things for security because recently I am also feeling not secure with few sites but I have to manage and work with them now I am also doing few things for improving my security because its really bad not all members can afford lost like this its really big.
Just learn the lesson from the experience of others and to remove your worry, you just have to activate it.

Gambling sites are Telling us right away upon account creation to make sure Securing our account by 2fa .

Seems like OP is too Lazy doing it ?

At least now Others will prioritize this action ,specially those gamblers that Loves exploring all gambling sites .
It is awful that people still need to lose money in order to learn this lesson, setting up 2FA takes at most 5 minutes and if done correctly then it reduces the chances that you are going to get scammed significantly by scammers or hackers, and taking into account how it is almost impossible tor recover your coins after you have lost them I would think more people would enable 2FA to protect themselves and their coins but it seems people still do not learn this important lesson.

It is a big lesson for us, never underestimate 2fa because we activate it, preventing us from something that we do not want to get.

It's a another layer for your security, activating this feature will allow you to guard your money, hackers won't be able to get
anything without your knowledge.
It is very important to activate it in every casino, exchange, or wallet that you have funds. Don't compromise your funds just because it's taking a few minutes of your time.

OP has learned too bad with this experience and I think it's all enough that he had found that his PC got malware and could be the main culprit for the stealing of his funds.

This is what hardware wallets are for, they are a cheap device that allow you to store your coins with extreme safety, but the disaster that is happening with ledger will probably stop many users from getting a hardware wallet, so what to do? An option is that if you have an old laptop or smartphone you could use that to store your wallet there, in the case of very old computers you could use a lightweight Linux distribution, install it in a a very old computer and then install your wallet there, it will be like a hardware wallet without additional costs.

What does this have to do with the use of a hardware wallet if the funds were withdrawn from the gambling site? Most likely, the TS kept the password unencrypted on his computer or accessed the site through a phishing link. That's what led to the theft of the account password.
