Have to admit that for a second it was "tempting", I was able to place a dummy bet with 0.001 btc , for a return of 0.036 ( guaranteed ) to test if it's actually working , and if the bets are being registered , which it did . Then I went straight over to their live support to inform them about it . They've fixed the issue in a matter of minutes , and cancelled all tickets placed with the matches affected by the bug .

I am hoping it qualifies me for some bug bounty , might have saved them a decent amount of $ in losses , as it seemed they had no info regarding it , and if someone placed lets say a 0.1 btc bet , that would've been an insane 3.6 btc Cheesy

What a good man in this world full of fraudulently. I hope they'll be giving you a good amount of bounty exchange for the good deeds you have did to them, but the good thing was you did it without unwarrant of receiving a reward. The intention of kindess.

Back to the topic: If I were in that position I wouldn't tell it to them (just kidding).

It's their duty to check all the bug from time to time, this is gambling, there could be a bug that no gambler can win and that will benefit them, so I will exploit then withdraw and tell them that there is a bug, I never know if in the past I play in a gambling site that has a bug where gamblers never win.

there is an high risk that you can't withdraw your money. there isn't anything to exploit since they can check your betting history.

bookmakers are not stupid, all bets have an audit record... if you win too much they can freeze your money (even if you're honest).
in a situation like this it's very hard earning any decent amount.

I don't request loans~

Exploooiiiittt.. Is what I would like to say, but if I actually know its a bug, I'd more likely to report it than exploit it. If I didn't know it was a bug and just thought of it as my luck, then maybe I would've, without knowledge, exploited it for what it is.

I doubt that? The most you'd probably get would be a thanks and have a pleasant time gambling or some kind of message of sorts. Plus, even if you did exploit it, others would've probably discovered it one way or another and their support would most likely notice it by then. It's possible they may withdraw every bet done in that span of time and reset every account to what it was before the betting even began, and even if you did say you didn't know, it's still a matter of fact that you used the bug.

lets be honest . most of us would first benefit from the bug then lately we decide to tell the admins , if your lucky you can get another reward or bug bounty .

we tell before others discovered it and we dont want that to happen because we are greedy plus we dont want the site to get totally destroyed . sounds funny but i think this is defenitely the case that would happen but before that, i still dont think that someone will bet on an ended match . high chance that you cant .

If I have only small funds in the gambling website and I don't used my original IP addresses or email address or any information that will connect to me, of course I'll try to benefit on it not unless at first they already some campaign for such bounty on bugs for their system.

It is quite obvious that any gambler except a particular few would exploit the bug for their own profit since its free money at the end of the day. Honestly, I would think hard before deciding what to do.

The site would need to compensate properly in order to avoid thinking of exploiting the site. I would chat with their live support(Won't disclose the bug) and negotiate the payment and then take a decision.

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 ?

To be honest every person will just play first the bug in order to earn money and once they have been already earned on that website then probably they will just withdraw it then maybe after they earned a lot from those bugs eventually they will go and report the bugs after they benefit from it so that they will be able to have a win-win situation in which they have been able to earn as well as they already make a good deeds in which they help the company or the website to fix the bug so the people will not be able to take advantage of it.

Compare rates on different exchanges & swap.

Better to report the bug. The worst you can do if you unknowingly or out of curiosity gain from the weakness is to give them back their stuff. There are case where they would deny the exploit, probably due to ignorance, fear or shame. In such situations, I'd just lock the fund somewhere until they request for it. Or hand it over to a trusted person so I don't use it.
