I don't think this would cause an account blockage without payment if the casino is fair. Only that many of them will give silly excuses not to give you your money on detecting you outsmarted them which I don't think is legal on their path too. We often don't know our rights or have the money to fight for it

Many gamblers had been stepped on foot because of this abuse on their right from casinos in such related matters, any negative experience will eventually end up affecting the gambler and not only the casino been affected, we all know our rights but at some point in life we try to make peace reign all because maybe we don't actually have the financial bouyancy to fight back, but another hidden truth is that this casinos were very smart that all this related issues would have been discussed already on their policy and privacy section which the gambler would have tick to agree to their terms and conditions, but many gamblers don't even take time in reading those conditions, so going for lawsuit against a casino is already a thing of failure aside you don't have the money to sue them.

This you mentioned is a sad fact, yet most gamblers like that enter gambling here in cryptocurrency to grow their money from only small capital. The only mistake other gamblers make is that they ignore the rules and policies of a casino, so in the end, others who think they can withdraw their winnings suddenly have their accounts blocked because they see a loophole so they can't withdraw the big money. the amount they won.

And the other casino also took advantage even though despite everything the gambler gave them what they needed to submit from KYC, video call to verify that they are the ones in the document they gave still making way to come out who violated the policy gambler

Here's some similar scenario but this one only talks about 35 BTC.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/rollinio-hacked-1340581

It was on Rollin.io which is already dead or down as of this moment.Nothing on this world is unhackable no matter how tough the security would be. Tongue

But in the case of the casino, once it's hacked that's the end of that casino, only big casinos offer refunds or protect their player's money compared to exchanges where they can do a refund and insured their trader's money, I don't think there's the same guarantee that they can offer that they will do a refund.
Real world Casino or online Casino? If its online Casino then they are not safe, there should be a form of reimbursement if hacks happen, its hard to see any gambling platform have any collateral damage fund aside, this is why such platforms are more risky than crypto trading platforms.

It is still safe, but not 100%. They are not dumb to make their website vulnerable; they are also working on vulnerabilities, but sometimes hackers are still able to penetrate it. From time to time, they are making updates to patch the issues. Nobody's website is perfect; it is a matter of how their dev team reacts to the incident. I also think they are using frameworks to make sure the end points are secure. The problem with hacking incidents is that we really don't know if it's an inside job or not, so mostly and rarely, casinos will not refund lost money due to hacking incidents.

Yes, it is a fact, for me the vulnerabilities of the past in a casino are very different from those that may exist now, the vulnerabilities that existed before were relatively soft and not as strong as those that hackers have developed now, in these times the things have changed, there is a greater degree of danger due to the fact that now computer viruses and everything that has to do with security in the blockchain, it seems to me that there are enormous amounts of bots that are also in charge of security, now the times have changed so they can build more trust in sites, also SSLs that help.
Every past vulnerability has been fixed but new era vulnerabilities are very high risk, so make sure your computer is free of viruses and malware by enabling anti-virus applications in real-time mode and always updating virus applications. The vulnerabilities of this era have many ways to penetrate the PC security system so make sure the PC is protected by high security features and avoid phishing sites because many new users do not know the difference between official and fake website links.
one of the vulnerabilities is hacking and scamming and identity theft.
the more people find the ways to secure themselves - the more the hacker gets the ways to find the way to scam people
 
Although many of these gambling site may have vulnerabilities but we also have to look for a way to safe guard ourselves from hackers and spammers. It is through that many things are happening in the crypto market currently and there is need for us to make sure our funds is safe just like many of these sites always take safety as a prerequisite to protect our funds.

Vulnerability is an important aspect for casinos to protect which can result to loses of funds that may not be able to be recovered again. Most hacking that had been happening in time past was a result of vulnerability of the casinos which lead to hacking.

That is so true - hackers are getting smarter as they have sharp mind and they keep themselves educated what new things are coming the internet world so they can do their work nicely and more professionally.

People do say that there's no how you could outsmart those after your downfalls but i can tell you vividly that this can be curbed only if you're also aware of their intents, tactics and routes of their every entry, no body is perfect but we can work out our perfection in protecting against external attacks on casinos, there have been several attempts on some of these casinos that avail to nothing because they have also set some control measures in place against any form of attack.

Hackers knows how to maximize their resources, together with the rising industry hackers are also improving from time to time, they will find ways to break the code and once they penetrate they will leave that place empty-handed, I understand your point and that's possible to happen, since the footnote will show up with the owner of the public Wi-Fi, hackers can simply go freely with the hack amount that he got.

Hackers are getting smarter than you could ordinarily thought of because some of them solely base on that tricky way to make a living, just as some gamblers fully depend on gambling to earn a living as well, the casinos in other side of it all also depends on gamblers to consistently gambles in their numbers for them to also make profits in their casino gambling business, these three categories of people were undeniable tied to gambling and depend on the outcome hence from it, but the truth here is that the conscious and smartest among them all make a good advantage but going by illegal ways is unacceptable especially in case of the hackers.

Prevention is always better than cure. Not to brag but I've been gambling online for 3years already and I have not wncountered issues, personally, concerning hacking and scams. Not that long but atleast I am aware of how to prevent these things to occur. I am always careful with the sites I am accessing thru checking its legitimacy. If something is suspiscious, I never forced going through. Also with sites or platforms asking for personal informations. KYC is another thing I guess especially if the gambling site you are engaging yourself into is reliable ( I don't move that much because I am picky). Antiviruses are also not that expensive to save myself from regrets, so I am always updating my subscription. Last thing is not saving passwords and important informations in my pc and other devices (i tend to write em down in  piece of paper and store it away from other people).

Almost all the challenging vulnerabilities casinos had been facing since the past had been taken care of and the major areas had been tackled by all means despite that many have been through alot as a result of this, things have now gone advanced with online gambling and no any physical means of assault or abuse could come in through this for both the gamblers and the casinos as long as new improvement is made over the past ones.
There are a lot of vulnerabilities - external and internal both.
A hacker can sit by the road site and use the public internet to hack the website hence the autorites will be in constant limbo who has damaged their repute in business.
Isn't it too dangerous for them if they do their operations outside? As many people can see them and will observe them. Once those people think they are too suspicious, they can just call the cops for that hacker to be arrested but if ever they got away with their crime, I am afraid the owner of that shop or the owner of that wifi where they connect are the one who will be investigated because the connection is coming from them.

I still believe that hackers are mostly staying indoors and they have so many tools which they can use to mask their identity. One example would be VPN. Sim cards can also be bought cheap and easy to dispose once they are done.

It's very important for each business to take time and invest with the security of their business, especially those who are facilitating online. They are the ones who are on the radar of those expert hackers around the web.

Patra does any kind of hacking, a programmer needs to protect himself as much as possible, and that implies that if he has to use VPN and many tools and protocols that make him invisible, that's what I think he does, because why is he going to be in something that can be tracked, and that has to have a lot of experience to be able to do something like hacking a casino, because it is a lot of security that has to be overcome, there are some hackers who can use free Wi-Fi, so that they do not detect your IP , there is more danger in your own internet than a public internet and that is what hackers do, in many places where I live there are people who have their laptops and from there they navigate using the government wifi.

a single mistakes can cause a business to be ruined.
I think this is true most especially in an online business. I remember there are one crypto project who got hacked and lost millions of dollars. The reason is only because of a tiny mistake in the code. It sounds crazy but it happens. That's how good the hackers are. They inspect every element and if they have spotted something which aren't right, that's the time they will try to attack.
That is the advantage of great hackers because they can detect leaks from the system and even in the code. And this makes every developer have to stay alert, do frequent checks on their site, and ensure that everything is safe. I'm sure the team of every trusted casino always does this and there are even some casinos that do leak searches and offer big rewards to invite their people or members to help them find leaks on their site. So this is not an easy task for every casino as they have to compete with other casinos in maintaining security on their site.


Exactly, when we have a casino or a company that does not have enough security, a single mistake can cause total decapitalization, and I don't know, but there are many casinos that have been online and appear here in the forum, and I don't know. If in some play or something the casino has also had an error, it has to pay a lot of money to a user and that is why it has also been the cause of the crash.

On the other hand, we have also witnessed that some users have been beneficiaries of certain bonuses and free money that sites sometimes offer, and this becomes a vulnerability, this is usually quite common.
On this forum, many new online casinos are constantly being released, which makes us always have to be careful because some of these new casinos are still under development, especially for security. So if you are interested in depositing your money because of the bonuses offered, you don't need to deposit too big money. Maybe after you deposit some money, you can see how it develops and if the casino can be better than before, you can deposit some more money but you still have to be able to control your spending on gambling.

Many people take advantage of bonuses from casinos to abuse so that people can get more bonuses than others. And yes, it is a common vulnerability in casinos.

Yes, things are well known, but I think that this is a quick exit option for new casinos, because they bet that players like to play more and take advantage of it to capitalize little by little, partly when the bonuses have many conditions is a good thing, but they should not be mandatory, if they were free to take the money that is deposited it should be fully withdrawable, and in case bonuses that do not have conditional characteristics are used, it is logical that the bonus must be withdrawable, and not put so many locks, so this means that the bonus is seen as free money, but it is an entry option for more users.


on that side note, abuse can take place the very reason why gambling owners place wagering system on most bonuses, allowing gamblers to take the bonus after wagering the amount but most of the time before reaching that amount you already lose the free bonus from those games or sessions that you take, it's also related with security as it will prevent abuser to suck out from the business wallet,

I see and understand your point but it's also needed to consider other side of potential threats if the bonuses are being exposed from people who are looking for good opportunities to withdraw free money from the site who providing bonuses for their clients.

Well, I understand very well when they are requirements for bonuses, it is something that the casino gives, but it should be like the trading brokers do, that when you register you must previously comply with a KYC, then depending on the deposit the broker gives you double, but that other money they give you, can only be used to trade in "leverage mode" and every time withdrawals are made, that bonus will decrease until it is fully met, but it is a bonus that is not withdrawable, and It can be used whenever the trader wants, it is not an obligation to use it, I think that this way is much better, with that they get rid of any problem or vulnerability in a casino.

Almost all the challenging vulnerabilities casinos had been facing since the past had been taken care of and the major areas had been tackled by all means despite that many have been through alot as a result of this, things have now gone advanced with online gambling and no any physical means of assault or abuse could come in through this for both the gamblers and the casinos as long as new improvement is made over the past ones.

I get your point and it's true there are still place/house that practicing anonymous gambling though chances that if you big the requirement of completing KYC is possible to apply. If you are capable of finding a place where you can play and continue to hide your real identity, then it's better for you to play in that kind of setup.
Sorry, but I don't understand why you are bringing this kyc matter although it has nothing to do with the topic subject. I'm not following your reasoning!
Broaching the kyc topic is only relevant when talking about vulnerabilities in general like when personal accounts can be hacked. But in this particular case, the OP is talking about vulnerabilities in the game itself.
Sometimes some people discuss what I don't know and that is why it is good for someone to read and articles or what is has been written here as a response before responding to the person I believe that some people does not read what all this has been written before they can react to it that is one of the many things or major things that lead them to write abstract in this platform so kyu nahi have seen it that it has nothing to do with the discussion but he brought it into discussion it is not right
Usually there are indeed people who do just simply read up the topic title without even reading up on whats the body or the content or queries which the op had been asked out and directly make out some response
which it did turn out to be that too far off on the topic which they do really make up themselves to look dumb.
Back on topic about vulnerabilities then there's always the chance or odds that platforms or sites could really be hacked up or been exploited.HAckers are everywhere
and just waiting up for the right opportunity for them to attack and hack out a platform or site if they do really saw opportunities on doing so.
This is why as a site owner then you should really give emphasis into your sites security.

Hackers can go extreme to ensure a casino is being hacked using different means for an attack, but there are also some casinos which has developed strong resistance toward such attempts such a way that they will get notified of the attempts and put such suspicious moves under surveillance, some can trace them even to apprehend them, but before a casino can be this smart it takes a lot of time and resources in building a resistant wall against such attempts of its kind, if a casino is not reluctant enough to spend the required finances to maintain a good network for their website.

There's nothing that you can do to avoid the casino once they start to ask you about KYC, they have the right unless you see nothing from the terms and conditions which may be possible that they forget to write it up, but mostly they don't. It's the protection of their business and they claw for everyone. And with your point, casino ask KYC to protect also their business, with the government rules they needed to comply to continue their permits.
I would guess that what we can do as gamblers would be to just ignore the ones that ask for it. I mean they could still ask for it in the middle of it, but if there are places that ask for it right away, then just ignore them and don't gamble there. I am gambling right now in plenty of places and aside from my "real name" which can be faked, I haven't given anything to any place ever. That means there are still tons of places, dozens even, that you could still gamble and not share any information about you.

This doesn't mean that if you win something huge one day, they wouldn't be asking, maybe one day they will ask from me too, but at least they haven't so far. That’s what gamblers can do about KYC required places.

We never know when those sites/place will ask for your identity. Just be ready. Either you quit using the site or comply with the requirements. All remain the same. It's you to decide.

I've seen it on many major websites for whom security is very important. Like, facebook, twitter, paypal, google, linkedin, and shopify. etc

it's not only facebook, etc., that are concerned with the security of their websites, but if you know that there are also many big gambling sites that have good reputations, they also maintain the security of their platforms from hacker attacks.
This is no doubt. If gambling sites cannot prioritize the security of their websites, they will be hacked, either by hackers or irresponsible members, because they know they can exploit some loopholes. The big gambling sites will always update their security systems so that people can not use the vulnerabilities, and their sites can always be safe, although that doesn't mean it's 100% safe. That's the point if the websites have a security team who will always make sure everything is under their control.

While building the website, some bugs are unknowingly left by the developers, which hackers exploit to hack the website.
actually not because it was abandoned by the development team but rather gambling websites will always have bugs that may not be detected by the development team so it looks like it was abandoned by the development team even though it's all because the bug was not detected by the team

I think casino websites should have bug bounty programs on their site.
gambling sites don't need bug bounties anymore but they already have a team of developers in the security department who always develop the security of the gambling site. maybe in my opinion some gambling sites have also collaborated with some white hackers to maintain the security of the gambling site

Upon developing an application like this a gambling casino there's a testing happen which is the beta and alpha testing, in beta testing those some bugs are fix already by the Quality Assurance Tester or the QA and make a report to the devs afaik some of them releases those in public so they can use it for a while and in the Alpha testing this is for the public release that open for the community and sometimes they saw the late bugs after release on the public so even though they given the testing already in Pen test still there's a possibility bugs might find by the users and it is good to report to help the devs too but sometimes if they saw a chance they abuse these bugs.
Not all users report bugs to improve casino security but some users take advantage to increase the win factor of the bug injected into the developed application, but of course the team will be able to track it because of the high win factor and the team will block the account due to prohibited activities in the online casino terms and conditions.
