In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with gambling, it might be addictive too but the industry grew this much because people want to associate with something. You cannot be going to parties, or cinemas or watch football every day, some people do not even like some of the listed ones, gambling is their option. So, gambling will be surely ethical and healthy for the person that is not addicted to it but has it entertaining and keeps their company.
Fine and good gambling has it own side effects accepted, but let's also consider the good and beneficial aspect also that gambling had come in with to everyone, i think i will have to but mention few here, employment, steady income/profit, business/enterprise, online services, fun/pleasure, relief from stress or pressure, exciting moods, tactical thinking/reasoning, logical reasoning, confidence build up, risk taking, boldness and fearlessness, these are just some of the benefits we derive from gambling which we count as something common but they are all important benefits derived.
Well all those feelings of stress, anxiety is what must be combated, in my case it is different, because I use the game to de-stress, but I have the special technique of going to the slots to be able to do my thing, it is simple, destiny my money that I have willing to lose and what I do is play and play until I run out, the mere fact of feeling free in a slot machine and knowing that that sound, that emotion that is felt is something that relaxes me, as I said before , I'm just looking to have fun, I don't see it as a job, because it would be crazy to use a casino as a source of work, because luck can run out and you can lose a lot of money, and it would turn out to be worse.
Inside job can happen and I agree with the developers responsibilities with the system, they are the one who's holding the key information and vulnerabilities can be started on them, if they are not responsible from what they are doing or if they are not doing their job in securing the site/platform
I think we forgot to talk about one of the most dangerous attacks which is social engineering. Human are the weakest ring of the chain.
It doesn't matter how secure the casino servers or the platform codes are or how experienced the security team is if one of the staff can be easily manipulated or fooled. A casino can get hacked and customers funds stolen just because an unaware customer support agent clicked on a malicious link he got on a phishing email.
Security awareness training is as important as securing servers and vulnerability patching.
And not just for casino but it applies to all the companies/businesses. Hackers are also upgrading and improving they will use all the avenues that they can penetrate and a single mistake will cause a big problem to the company, though it's already been known by many companies and they are aware how this kind of mistake will harmed their business, providing proper trainings and extending levels of support from their firewalls chances for human mistake still the big concern.
The fact that business owners are really doing their best to make sure that they are fully aware of any consequences, and they are equipping their business with knowledge and good customer support, something that gives gamblers a little assurance to continue playing.
I had thought that a casino has to have the best security so that it is not hacked, some players are so expert that they know the structure of a casino very well and from there they know what certain games can do wrong and what they do is determine if they have an error and exploit it, but they do not report it, also the casinos do not put good incentives for the capture of vulnerabilities, the offenders think it is better to exploit that error because it is more money and not report it because they may not find a good reward.
Casinos that are new are the most likely to have vulnerabilities, I think that these casinos should be the first to offer a very good type of reward for vulnerabilities.
Such exploits might be needed to be reported and gambler who send the report may receive incentives not sure though as I don't have any experienced about it, but yes I can agree to your point some players who learn the exploit instead of reporting they abuse that advantage and really make money from what they've learned, it's the task for the developers to avoid this kind of things to happen to make sure the business will prosper.
Otherwise, gamblers will continue to abuse this kind of money making advantages.
It's really important to invest in securities, especially those new in this business. They have to protect their business and their reputations.
What happens is that many people are dedicated to exploits because there are simply not very great incentives for it, a hacker prefers to exploit any vulnerability to get a lot of money, if a casino is looking for more security, it should leave. a good reward for those who discover vulnerabilities, it is much better to pay great rewards that exploit a vulnerability that then costs them having to close the casino sometimes, this has happened to many emoresas, they have to close because they have to pay, they leave everything the naked code and they can make a big embezzlement, and that's what many are looking for, just money and that's it.
