Well said mate there have been a lot of vulnerabilities in so many gambling sites in the past and a good number of them could not survive the attacks and are forced to close down or pack up, both to aid further discussion on the subject of vulnerability we need to narrow it down to a particularly vulnerable aspect, e.g hack, scam and exit game this all mean different things but link to one thing which is a vulnerability in gambling.
The problem with hacks is that it's evolving together with the improvement of the security because some hackers aren't malicious, they just want to improve the security because there's going to be a fault in there eventually and thus they end up trying to improve it in advance so it's a never ending chase with hacks unlike scams that can easily be solved if people just think twice.

Yes, it can reduce the risk if we don't save a lot of money at the casino so we don't have to deposit again just to play. The fees for transactions always fluctuate depending on the network and if we can minimize deliveries to the casino, it will also reduce transaction costs. Usually, I deposit some funds to the casino once a few days or once a week to help me play right away and don't have to deposit funds several times.

It is not advisable to leave their money in the casino because we don't know what can happen, but some people still keep their money there. Maybe if the amount is not big, it will be fine, but it can be a risk for us if it is big. But we can hope the casino will guard its site against hacking and always monitor it for possible attacks from hackers. It's even possible that gambling sites can make some bug finder for anyone who finds a bug on their site so that the casino can reward those who find it.Because it will perhaps the fees will consume all your balance if after a session per day you will withdraw your crypto asset on the gambling casino because you obsess about the hack or losing your fund. But for me, as long as the gambling casino did not have a serious complaint regarding the financial system it is good to leave money and all of this were depend on their reputation.
Sadly the reality is even worse than that, everything can be hacked, it does not matter how complex is the protection of a piece of software or a website, hackers can always find a way to hack it with enough time, this is why opening up a casino is such an expensive business as not only you need a lot of capital to begin with but a great deal of the money will always go towards securing your website, because the moment you stop investing in this is when hackers will have all the time in the world to exploit the casino.
^ The only solution for this is don't leave any amount of money of gambling casino, if you don't want to gamble in that day, just pull out all of them or else, never store your valuable assets in the casino. Especially those casinos that have been hacked before, there is a possibility that they will hack again due to their lack of securities. That is exactly the truth, when it comes to the internet, everything could be vulnerable and no one is exempted regarding that matter.In all sites we need to pay some fees.The exchange and website was running with our fee.But after winning of huge money from the gambling some cheap people are not ready to pay a minimum fees to the website. They will be huge greedy on money.But they have to realized that, all the exchange will be closed without fee.And hackers part is different, they try to stole huge funds in exchange. Even in gambling sites, their ultimate option to get a money and they don't care anything emotional. So we should highly secured on the Security of wallets.

And players who try to exploit this will always stay, you can't do much about that. You can draw up a policy policy, and in combination with a kyc policy you can put a limit on a certain player, for example. That way it becomes much less interesting for a player to continue cheating.
Yes, but once such a player is limited in his cheating opportunities, he or she starts complaining about a particular casino This is the other side of the coin. Some gambling sites block withdrawals for such players and that very moment players start writing negative reviews about those websites.
After all even if such people could take away a few clients from the casino it is not going to be a real problem for an established casino with a good reputation, even if their clients find about this as long as the explanation is public and everyone can verify they are on the right this may even help their reputation, by showing they treat complains against them seriously and give them a prompt resolution while also being fair about it.
...
Also, Is there any list for me to check regarding exploits? I'm thinking about developing something so it may come handy.

It may be handy, but to whom?! To people who wish to become scammers? If you discover some vulnerability you can do two things, you can try to use it in your favor (dishonest) or you can contact admins and tell them about bugs (maybe even they have some bug bounty?!), that would be the honest way, and if a site is fair they will reward you for doing that!
I don't see the point in making anything about this for us users... I don't think it can come in handy to any ordinary and fair gambler! Aside from my joke that some newbies can learn some basic tricks from this, it can be useful for developers, casinos, but then it's more like a service and this is not a place for that discussion (OP should move his thread, maybe in service section).

3.- No confirmation sites.
Any site to allows you to gamble with nonconfirmed coins is vulnerable to a double-spend attack. People could wager their balance and if they win then waits for the transaction to confirm, and if they lose they could make a double spend, that's a known vulnerability.
I hope this information helps you in your development.
I think over the years this should have been the biggest vulnerability crypto has ever seen in years....but thankfully most if not all platforms today require not less than 3 confirmations for one's coins to reflect on their account if not you can not withdraw any coins without these confirmations reflecting which is a good countermeasure if you ask me! Looking back at all this, time really flies... 3.- No confirmation sites.

They return their funds because they are traceable, in the case of Casinos they are quick to find vulnerabilities and big casinos are good at doing that, that is why I prefer and highly recommended playing on big casinos they can do refund they have top-level security when it comes to casino security funding and financial capability is a big factor.
Well, you may be right that big casinos are more capable of detecting and tracing where their vulnerabilities being exposed and attacked on because of their higher financial capacity to acquire resources for such. However, it still doesn’t change the fact and probability that they may still get hacked, because as have been stated by the others, nothing on this world can never be hacked. I guess it is safe to a admit that vulnerabilities still do exists in every platform even in this modern era.
The probability is very small because big casinos are very much aware of how these hackers work so they make it a point to hire the best security people in the business, you cannot trust a casino that is a victim of hacking, gamblers demand top-level security on top casinos, and if they are hacked they make it a point to go after these hackers, they have a legal team because they are well funded, so don't get to be a big dog if you know how to retaliate.
which does have an issue or history of security then it isnt really something which is good for the business because people would really be having that impression that
it isnt really safe to play on this site because of those past issues.Even though this one could be improved on but those kind of views couldnt really be changed of.
big casinos are not spared from potential hacks. but usually they can detect it at early stage so they can immediately address the situation. or they have the capability to refund their affected users. however, as a player, don't get too confident about your funds on the site, you should always secure it if you're not playing for days in the casino. hackers are always trying new softwares or tools that may possibly break the vulnerability of the site. after all, that's their job to find those vulnerabilities and clear the money from their coffers.
that we shouldnt really be that confident with our funds and when you arent playing then its not advisable on making those funds sit on these platforms for a very
long time which its better to pull it out before its too late.Taking out funds do only cost you a small fee.

Thats really not to say that there are no vulnerabilities in gambling websites that are experienced, have good security and know what to look out for. I believe that almost every single gambling website has certain problem areas that can result in vulnerability hacks. The newer exchanges just have a much higher chance of having more of them as well as having teams that do not understand how to protect their site...
As long as it is a legit website with KYC, your missing funds will always be legally returned to you, in the event of a hack. The website bears full responsibility for that.
Now, untrustworthy sketchy websites on the other hand....Good luck getting your money back.

Nothing on this world is unhackable and we should really bare it up into our minds no matter how reputable or popular it would be there would be always those probabilities and that's why we do keep on
seeing these kind of situations just because there's no such thing about perfect security which does as a user then you should really be aware of that.We've seen various exploits which it did really
result into huge loss of funds of a certain gambling site because of those lapses and this is where security does continue to improve overtime.So far there are
no huge hacking or exploits on recent years not like into those years of the old.
Sadly the reality is even worse than that, everything can be hacked, it does not matter how complex is the protection of a piece of software or a website, hackers can always find a way to hack it with enough time, this is why opening up a casino is such an expensive business as not only you need a lot of capital to begin with but a great deal of the money will always go towards securing your website, because the moment you stop investing in this is when hackers will have all the time in the world to exploit the casino.seeing these kind of situations just because there's no such thing about perfect security which does as a user then you should really be aware of that.We've seen various exploits which it did really

You have a point, but expensive budget doesn't guarantee you anything, because hackers can hack whatever they want if they want to (pertaining to professional blackhat hackers). This might be off-topic but even Binance and other big exchangers got hacked already, sometimes hacker return the funds, sometimes they don't. My point here is no software or system is safe.

Well said mate there have been a lot of vulnerabilities in so many gambling sites in the past and a good number of them could not survive the attacks and are forced to close down or pack up, both to aid further discussion on the subject of vulnerability we need to narrow it down to a particularly vulnerable aspect, e.g hack, scam and exit game this all mean different things but link to one thing which is a vulnerability in gambling.
Well, how about exit scam gambling casino and coming back with a new brand name?There are too many risks in gambling casinos even good becomes bad casinos we should not leave a huge amount on the casino because they are vulnerable to anything. We can't deny the fact that everything online is hackable and vulnerable but I think a licensed casino will surely be less risky than the anonymous one.
That is why I prefer for gambling casinos to establish their reputation first before playing or have done efforts to make a name first like launching their casino in the right way, launching a signature campaign, of course, a license is a big factor because it cost to get them feedbacks are also very important these are just some of the things that I consider before playing.
