I am not familiar with the exploits in the past but I think the gambling sites now are aware of those and probably improve now. We shouldn't only be focused on the exploit to the gambling site but also we should focus on exploit to players too like gambling sites advertising here that they don't ask KYC but if you are going to read their T&C they have a KYC policy.

Now that you've mentioned it, I agree there are also gambling sites that exploit their players by either stating they have it when they don't and vice-versa. Claiming to offer or not offer something when in fact you do is a kind of deceptive move from these sites. They benefit from it without the players knowing and they don't improve their statements to avoid frustrations and conflicts.

There are websites like these, and hopefully, a collective voice could do something about it because just like they they want to do unto them, they are abusing the players. I know it is the players duty to verify and double check. But it also the obligation of the gambling sites to provide accurate and not misleading offers.

And then again there are hackers always looking for loopholes and finding way to intrude into the privacy and security of the company as well as the customer. Which is a security breach both for the gambling owners as well as for the players. What are the precautionary measures gamblers take while putting up their private info on the gambling sites?
Once a gambler submits their personal information on a gambling site or other site, then it will be the responsibility of that site. The security of personal data is no longer the gambler's responsibility but of the website.

Gamblers as users need to know which sites are responsible and can safeguard their members' personal information and ensure that the information is safe. Users should also be careful about submitting personal information to a site and only trust sites that can take good care of it.

It supposed to be their responsibility since they are the one who's holding the data of their costumers. But unfortunately that is not the responsibility of other owners especially when their intention is to scam people. This is truly dangerous since our identity might get sold to anyone especially to those people who do crazy actions in internet.

Gamblers should know the gambling site they are visiting since by knowing the reputation its like they are securing their future for any possible disturbance that might happen to them.

Last night I was watching a video and in that video - Senator asked Mark Zuckerberg would he like to tell in which hotel he stayed last night and who he called during last week - upon which MZ said he don't want to share his private affair with public. On this senator said why then private info of the fb user.  I am not sure info once made public remains private anyways!

That's why there are organisation which is acquired and hire some white hat hackers the reason is they are the one who manage the security features of the platform so they can make a counter security for the intruders who would like to hack and breached the information of the system. Some of the common attack is the SQL injection
Also apart from all that is mentioned - online gambling may involve both technological and  social risks. Most of the time online gamblor don't realize that the online gaming pose another opportunity for their compromised privacy or the computer security as well. Online gambling can risk your computer and system on high exposure with who you interact.
Usually, online games or online gambling website have their own online security team that will monitor their site and prevents any outside attacks that want to infiltrate their site or database. As for gamers or gamblers, as long as they don't play on sites not recommended by many gamblers, they will be safe from the above. It is about how gambling sites and gamblers can protect themselves from intruders who want to hack them.

As a user that had give out their private details into gambling platforms which is stored on a database then in case of some hack then these info's would most likely be leaked or be stole but i doubt that it would really be

that much important as for hackers considering that they would really be just coming after for the huge sum of money stored in hot wallets and its true that these places are the most common target by these hackers

because they could get big money which they could not find anywhere else aside from exchangers too thats why as a business or platform owner then be always be mindful about strengthening your security always.

that hackers are everywhere which they are just waiting for some opportunity to attack or exploit bugs on the site which causes for them to steal money or funds.
This doesnt only talks about the past but also possible present situations because nothing on this world is unhackable which means they should continue to strengthened it up
for them to avoid such problem.
Other vulnerabilities involves are some of the social risks as well they are:
Getting to know about very personal information
Identity theft
credit card info at risk

There are many white hat hackers, after all what better way to learn how to secure a website than by trying to break into it? The difference is that white hat hackers instead of gaining illegal access and stealing what they can they could ask for a bounty in the case they find a critical vulnerability for the website, now without a doubt it is a really difficult profession as the level of skill and knowledge needed to make any money as a white hat hacker is huge, but it is worth it, as bounties can easily reach five or even six figures.
The job of a white hat hacker is to exposed to their client all of the noticed loopholes/vulnerabilities of the system. They break the system so they can implement better security for the system, it is also a process for securing a system/website.
I am not sure if white hat hackers are exactly the same with bounty hunters, but I guess they are not though they are very related to each other.

Even in war there are many attacks like the cyber attack which helps to get the data of the other side and attack them - there comes the white hat hackers who play their part in saving banks and other organization from the damage made by the enemies.

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.
I think the main reason why casinos fail after a big hack is that they lose the trust of their customers, even if there was a big hack as long as a business still retained their customers somehow then a path to recovery exists, but many players when they see that their preferred casino has been hacked even if they were not affected they are going to be reluctant to play there anymore, which causes casinos to definitely close their doors.
There comes a time when people's interest changes and then the things which we popular at time become unpopular.
Time and tide waits for none. There comes the vulnerabilities which are not predicted and that sometimes help betray the trust of the players

There are two main differences between regular hackers and ethical or white hat hackers, the first one is the intent, hackers trying to find vulnerabilities in a system do so in order to gain something from it, whether that is information or money is irrelevant to the discussion at hand, while white hat hackers do so in order to help to improve the security of the company behind that website, the second difference is the permission, for example Facebook has been hacked many times in the past and as such their users have lost their privacy, information and money in the process, however an ethical hacker participates in bounty programs offered by Facebook and as such they have permission to try to break into their website, report if they find something and receive a bounty reward for their efforts.
wow - you really brought forth great reply also with the explanation.
Also the white hat hackers are contacted by the companies to help the regain the control of their website. How smart would they look doing the work. I wish I could meet some white hat hackers in real life too.

Maybe, you already know one, but not disclosing his identity. White hackers are everywhere. And I do commend them from not being tempted to screw-up vulnerable sites for their own interest. Usually, they will tap the company if they find vulnerabilities of the site that may possibly lose their vital info or even funds. Whereas, the bad hackers won't give you any warning, they will just empty your coffer if needed.
Great info shared. But I will make my research on who are famous white hat hackers. But this is certainly right that they are smart and the know how to get a company and person out of trouble. Many celebrates contact the white hat hackers to get their account back from hackers and they search for ethical hackers.

I totally agree with you, and to add, I think hackers are one of the most patient and passionate beings in the field of profession, professional hackers are always so serious and determined, though their chosen career or profession isn't something to emulate(this is for the black hat hackers), but I always draw some encouragement from them, a serious hacker can spend months and sometimes, years trying to hack a site or platform, all they need is to find the loophole, ones that is found, they never give up until they figure out a way to use that loophole to thier own advantage.
Sometime some years back, I've tried learning how to hack but I lacked the patience and resources required, and to be sincere, I love their enthusiasm towards their job even though most part of the job is illegal.

Actually, white hackers exist for a reason. As far as I know, white hackers' main purpose is to expose the vulnerability of the website for its own benefit. They hack those websites that are easy to infiltrate to let the developer and the client know that their system and level of security is fragile and can be easily messed up with if they won't do anything about to tighten the security. These white hat hackers do not really mean to harm, but all they want is to help so that the security and privacy would be improved and enhanced.

I believe they are far much different than any hackers which aim to steal or destroy assets. There are still many organizations and groups made up of white hat hackers and they show time to time whenever they see something vulnerable especially on those big sites.
I have read very informative material from the members in the forum. Can we also call white hat hackers ethical hackers as well?
What I understood is when an organization data is hacked they would call white hat hackers to revive their data.

The rate at which hackers are dominating the online world is very alarming which there is need to reduce their effects  before  things get out of hands. Security had been the major concern of all most all the gambling platforms cause this is a vital expect which need to be protected by all miss or expect the attack of hackers and scammers. Although major efforts had always been put on making this thing works which is to prevent the activities of farmers, creating multiple accounts tobe entitled to more bonuses that can be withdrawn later.
As a business that involves big money then it would be just normal that you would really be focusing on security as a business owner because you dont like on getting hack and its true
that hackers are everywhere which they are just waiting for some opportunity to attack or exploit bugs on the site which causes for them to steal money or funds.
This doesnt only talks about the past but also possible present situations because nothing on this world is unhackable which means they should continue to strengthened it up

Is this process called ethical hacking as well? What is the difference between white hat hackers and the hackers? Can someone enlighten me what kind of hacking is legal and what is not. Hacking is the process of getting into someone region without permission so what is white hat hacking and hacking?
