I would advise you to inform the developers of the platform that you know about a vulnerability in the system which you can take advantage of.
However, you will be ready to disclose more specific information only for a fee.

Good thing the company gives a bounty reward for the bug report and that is necessary. If we keep doing honest that will also have a good return just like what happen to OP has been received a reward from them. If you will win a huge amount from bug they will begin to investigate every account until the bug discovered and possible you may have a problem in withdrawal too.
A good job for you.
A good job for you.
I would report the bug to the respective team and ask them to look at it. Also will try to place the bets and just to ensure that it is working or just it might be available but placing bets may not be possible. And then would let them know that such things had occurred and then whatever their directions would be then follow it. May be they may even reward the person for bring this to their attention.
I agree with all you guys , I was offered just now by them a 20 mbtc prize for bringing this to their attention which is nice

Very good decision, you get Merit for that
The use of such an advantage is very unfair and for sure the website would make problem to withdraw winnings. I think that offering a reward in exchange for finding such a big bug is a very honest proposition, and if it is a serious company, then will definitely accept it with gratitude. In their place I would double the reward you propose
Lucky if theyve done such thing and unfortunate if they would just simply say thanks. LOL! Sooner or later these bugs would be found out
and as said if withdrawals becomes too obvious or does raise flags then it will automatically just hold wd as usual.So most people will make most of it
while they do still have the chance.
Well, I saluted to you of what you've done because not all people hiding on the internet have a good instinct like you.
If I were your place, I will also do the same as you have done because you perhaps have a problem when it comes to withdrawal from your fund to the site. Indeed, good and you didn't expect you received a small reward from them. You are a good samaritan that should follow everyone here not just our own greed will role over.

Like every gambler might do, I think they'll take advantage, that is not illegal, site made mistake and they'll pay, just like what we experience also, we also makes mistakes but we never blame the site for our mistake, instead we move on and correct that mistake.
I am not sure with the rules of the site because I don't normally read the entire TOS written before I gamble, but one thing for sure, they offer the line they'll have to pay for it, otherwise it could affect their reputation.

Actually most gambling sites have in their T&C the fact that in case of software malfunctions , bugs etc , that they can void all payments and are not held liable for it.
Well if that is the case then its good, but it still does not make the site safe from any exploit. Some gamblers who sees the bug many knows about the sites T&C and they'll withdraw right away the money, it will be easy for them if the site process withdrawals instantly like sportsbet.
So lets say "hypothetically" that I've came across a bug in a pretty big an well-established gambling websites sportsbook that allows me to place bets on matches which have already ended , thus knowing the outcome and being able to place some sure x30-x40 betslips.
What path would you follow , report the bug , or try to benefit from it ?
Reporting the bug is really the right thing to do before other people take advantage of it. But do you think every gambler will do it? Of course not. It is easy to say but hard to do. To be honest once you experience to earn huge amount of money because of that bug you will start to become greedy and take advantage of that bug or exploit it.

Maybe report the bug as that is the right thing to do, and who knows you'll get rewarded for your action, for sure a lot would take advantage on that bug as it can easily be found for regular gamblers, so it could also be noticed easily but at the same time it could also result to a big loss of the sportsbook, so reporting would prevent that from happening, especially if you are the first one to find it out.
I agree with all you guys , I was offered just now by them a 20 mbtc prize for bringing this to their attention which is nice .
.It's better than nothing. I'd be feel bad for you if they're not giving you any rewards exchange to the good bugs you have figured out. Also--out of curiosity, was the gambling sportsbook you were talking about is sportsbet?. It's alright if you can't say it.
I placed a little bet last month and got a bet, but I couldn't get the prize.
I placed the bet in the 80th minute, so I guess the site didn't count my bet

i am not a Greedy person and i am also not a total gambler but if given a chance?i will grab this opportunity to Make winning because gambling sites always taking our money so this is the chance for us to at least make some move to take money from them.What path would you follow , report the bug , or try to benefit from it ?
and also i think this is normal way of treating the situation as i dont want to be Hypocrite to say i will not take advantage but the truth is?in reality they will do the same.
after getting some wins maybe i will consider telling them the bug and will not come back to that site again as they may see my past activities in their casino .
To be honest I would try it out let's not be hypocrite here most of us would really use it to gain easy profit,
We could say that we would report the bug right now but once the bug actually happens we couldn't be so sure that we wouldn't use it.

There are times that I'm greedy when it comes to money so when this kind of scenario happened to me and as long as I have money, I will try to bet on it but on a small amount only and then withdraw it then report the bug. At least it is a win-win situation for both the user and the owner What path would you follow , report the bug , or try to benefit from it ?
.If it is a gambling site then they will not know your personal information (unless you shared it to them) but if they detected that you did bet on that bug then there is a chance that you're account will be banned or be removed without notice. Just report after you withdraw the money you have
.

Now lets say I took the other path , abuse the bug for my own profits . I think this could work to a degree , sure if you'd place a 0.1-1 btc bet and win a huge amount this would start some investigations from the casino to check if the bets were legitimate , but here's the thing , this bug happened only on some games , so theoretically how I assume is that their software was lagging on receiving results from certain games , showing games that ended 5-10 minutes ago as still in play , min 75-80 etc with the option to still place live bets on them . But since this was happening to lets say 1 % of the actual matches played at the time , ( software doing fine on showing the stats + betting situation on the rest ) it's very likely this might have slipped through verifications . Also there's the fact that smaller wd's , lets say under 1000 $ get processed almost instantly ( according to my withdrawals with them) , it's quite possible one could have done this quite a few times before raising some red flags.

Some might be tempted to take advantage of the bug.
However, when the gambling operators know that you have exploited the said bug, you might not be able to withdraw your funds, just saying.
You're lucky if you can withdraw it without raising a flag, but most gambling site will take a look of every withdrawal, specially if you withdraw like more than 1 BTC to make sure that everything is right.

To be honest - Most of the time where human greed do sits in which they would surely choose to abuse that bug until it last and they do able to withdraw.What path would you follow , report the bug , or try to benefit from it ?
We might have different insights towards honesty thing but when we do talk about money then its a different story for most people.Some might report
but majority will benefit from it and we know that earning big is unusual or rare opportunities that do happen.

Practicality wise?of course i will play first the bug then if this really legit and profiting?then i will report after withdrawal .What path would you follow , report the bug , or try to benefit from it ?
i may sound greedy but i know how not fair gambling sites also so i will let them taste the Bitterness of their own medicine .
but it is depend on the situation because if the one involved is my favorite site?i think scenario will change and i will report the Bug as soon as i notice this.
