I remember an issue with secondtrade.com .
Long story short, they allowed to bet btc price, playing betting options.
It seems It was easy manipulate their bets since they used as source only One site ! The trick was to pump or dump a value for a short period of time ... Like 1 minutes or so on.
They are now closed.
Another vulnerability has been probably detected in directbet. It was possible make a bet directly on chain.
Some users have been caught making double spend... It was not easy to detect and probably this activity lead to closure of activity.

I could never run an automated gambling platform for this reason alone. Imagine having a hot wallet out there with hundreds of thousands of dollars or potentially even millions per day moving through it without any human verification. I couldn't do it. I see all of these threads from people wanting to hire others to build them gambling platforms and I just can't even imagine the risks involved with that approach. This is why gambling with established sites is probably the way to go, even if there are better deals out there. You never know if the 'house' is really just built of cards and one large win or hack will take them and all their users out. I think this issue could be addresses with transparency of house funds, but I never see that done by any gambling houses.
The majority of vulnerabilities in established gambling websites have already been patched; however, this does not imply that there are no vulnerabilities; as technology evolves, new vulnerabilities are discovered; however, in the case of established gambling websites, the vulnerabilities will be patched as soon as possible. Also, if you are serious about playing on a new website because of the freebies, you should be prepared to be scammed, so only deposit money that you can afford to lose.

The big question is, do these fella's do still continue to play and able to secure out those profits for too long or
they had already lost it or breakeven?
Most of the Casino right don't have exploit because they done audit on all there software before they can get there license. Most of the exploits are only minimal and not that serious compared before since most of the gambling software is just on the trial phase.
Only promotion and faucet abuse is the only known error encountered on the current established casino.
You are being too naive, everything has vulnerabilities, it does not matter how well do you think you have coded something, hackers are experts at finding flaws in your code, this is why every single piece of software can be hacked and you can find cracked versions of them for free on the Internet, as it does not matter how much they secure their intellectual property with enough time, knowledge and the right tools a hacker will crack a piece of software 100% of the time.Only promotion and faucet abuse is the only known error encountered on the current established casino.
whether you are dealing with exchangers or gambling sites on where you do make out some deposits.Always mind off the risk because everything could happen in an instant which you should
be cautious and only spent out the money which you could afford to lose on the time you do make out deposits on a gambling site.

Most of the possible vulnerabilities is all about the connection through its database and makes traffic on the client-server which is the gambling platform experience an attack or we commonly called as the DDoS that makes the website down and the other one is the SQL injection common things and other security stuffs like the email which the user got caught by the hackers through phishing emails and other links.
We all needs to be careful cause criminals are developing ways to carry out evil act in order to scam people which is the reason why we need to be at alert in preventing any possible attack from these Scammers. As the Earth is revolving, thesame way scammers are creating more ways in achieving their goal of scamming to get more illegal funds
This is the result of being an educated gambler and investor, you won’t fall on any project though of course those sites are still vulnerable but if you are playing on a good site, you can have your peace of mind. You can gamble as much as you want but make sure you are ready for consequences especially if you use your savings in gambling. To avoid any fake site, analyze it and ask the community about their reviews on that ask you can get more good staffs from them.

Of course, gambling itself is always associated with the risk of losing funds, especially if you are a gambling person, but there are also simply fraudulent projects, for example, a well-known example associated with FairWin that had a ponzi scheme, which also had a number of vulnerabilities in the ethereum contract that allowed the owner or an attacker to prohibit users from withdrawing funds, or completely empty their deposits.

i believe what he meant was he was never scammed.
anyway, the risk is always there. but limiting the possibility of being scammed is indeed up to the player. if the site is new, are you going to send good amount of money? i don't think so. but some people will, because we've been reading in some accusations that they have been tricked with high bonuses or rewards. but come to find out there are so many conditions attached. this should be the responsibility of the player, know the requirements before jumping on a clickbait rewards. this forum alone will give you an insight how the casino is doing with their business. a simple check in their trust summary will give you perspectives if they are treating their players right or not.

That seems like a good point. The biggest risk you probably have as a player is that you will bet and possibly lose more money than you can actually lose. Of course there are sometimes malicious sites, but most problems arise from the vulnerability of people themselves, who then cannot control themselves and lose control with all the consequences that entails. We haven't seen that many rogue sites, certainly not lately. But if you're purely technical, then arbitrage betting is still a problem, and since the advent of VAR, that problem has only gotten worse.

You should bare on your mind that possibilities could really happen anytime but you could actually lessen the odds when you do tend to deal with known or popular sites.
Vulnerabilities is always present but casino owners or other platforms arent that dumb on taking lightly when it comes to security since they do know that their business is
at risk.
AFAIK, the risk is mostly on the gamblers, you could either be predicted to a wrong site through phishing, or you get scammed by a gambling site by taking your deposit or charging you that you violate some rules to forfeit your funds.
As to security, they already know the risk in their business, so they'll make sure they are secured and I don't really trust some gambling sites claiming they are hacked as it could be an inside job.

That is why I and many others always suggest that first before depositing in any casino check the gambling section here and only play on any casino that has only positive feedback and is around us for a long time.If you follow this advice then no one can make you lost to join a scam gambling website.
The inside job I believe to be more obvious in exchanges as once they make enough money they use it as a way out,never I have seen a real reputable casino being hacked or playing by that.
really as rampant compared with exchange platforms which means that they are really that doing pretty well in terms of security.I havent see any exploits or breaches with those known gambling sites at the moment
which it isnt surprising that they are really gaining that much popularity because of the reputation that they do able to hold and improved all over the years.

Create a large number of accounts in order to receive the signing up bonus and transfer it to your wallet, for example.
Fortunately, signup bonus mostly in any gambling platform cannot be transferred now, even also the deposit bonus without using or betting it first and any other terms and rules to follow. Good thing it was removed as crypto gambling industry grows and learned from other gambling website mistakes. While security it is a place in which a casino should invest heavily to protect themselves from threats like hackers, some casinos try to lower their costs and decide to slash their security budget as this is something that cannot be seen by the player and many times it is just assumed that the casino is doing everything they can to protect their customers, however later on those casinos are found by hackers and that is when we hear of the massive hacks that can happen to casinos and exchanges as their security was not up to the standards required in the industry to secure the funds of their customers.
"Prevention is better than cure." If the casino owners want to have a successful casino and be able to compete then the security of their platform must be one of their highest priorities. Besides, in case they get hacked they will lose way more than what they would've saved by lowering the security budget. It's not only about money, if they get hacked they will lose the trust of their customers which will be hard to regain.
Is it still a vulnerability to take advantage of free money, such as a signup bonus? Create a large number of accounts in order to receive the signing up bonus and transfer it to your wallet, for example. In my opinion, it has long been known that a gambler will open a large number of accounts and deposit the money into a single wallet in order to amass a large sum of cash. However, this is only valid in the past, as the majority of signup bonuses are now locked and cannot be withdrawn from the site.
Signup bonus usually comes up with the wagering requirements. You need to wager a particular amount before you are eligible for the withdrawal of that bonus. Even if we consider it legal, to create as many accounts, no one can't be lucky to retain all the balance in gambling in order to fulfill the wagering requirements. He will lose money and most of the accounts will be zero.
If he is lucky to survive and make money, he can withdraw but there is a likely chance that gambling sites will find it fishy that many accounts are being made from a single IP and they may ask for KYC for suspected cases.
This is really frequently happening in gambling industry. Actually, not just only in gambling but in other platforms as well which has a bonuses for those newbies because people always tend to abuse the system whenever they sense the opportunity of doing so. Most people utilize the signing up bonus on a bad way which disrupts the system of a gambling site. Making multiple accounts just to avail the bonus is one of the most famous things people do to cheat on the site. Thinking they wouldn't be caught, hence a lot of people are doing this in the past and maybe up until now. Although it really is required for most sites to have a wager before they would be able to withdraw. I understand this method because this is to ensure that the people won't go through abusing the system. And if they would opt to do so, they could lost something in the process. Hence, most would think twice of doing this since most casinos ban the account whenever they detect something fraudulent happening.
AFAIK, the risk is mostly on the gamblers, you could either be predicted to a wrong site through phishing, or you get scammed by a gambling site by taking your deposit or charging you that you violate some rules to forfeit your funds.
As to security, they already know the risk in their business, so they'll make sure they are secured and I don't really trust some gambling sites claiming they are hacked as it could be an inside job.

There had been quite a number of Vulnerabilities in gambling websites since 2011 from satoshi dice to primedice and a lot more.
What was the total number of exploits and which ones were the lethal ones, I think that hufflepuff guy on primedice did the most damage.
The exploit was called something like "Race time condition" and I read something similar in my CS class but it was related to a banking system so it could be different.
Basically, it was giving multiple inputs to the system trying to get some response from the system in 2 places, and then exploiting the system.
Also, Is there any list for me to check regarding exploits? I'm thinking about developing something so it may come handy.
There are still existing vulnerabilities in gambling websites till this day, but I believe they are not as notorious like before and many are just seldom occurring and are workable to be fixed immediately. Although, one thing I observed to be happening frequently than the others is the issues with regards to the security .What was the total number of exploits and which ones were the lethal ones, I think that hufflepuff guy on primedice did the most damage.

And secondly, most gambling sites I know don't even do welcome bonus anymore, the bonus mostly common now are maybe promotions or the bonus which one gets after a certain progress bar is filled(I've forgotten what it's called) and this requires the user to have wagered a reasonable amount of money.
This, I also believe is another measure to or that prevent account farming cus I see no reason why one would risk huge amounts of money on account farming for a mere bonus that makes no sense at the end of the day.
