To be safe from the consequences, since perhaps it is well-established, report the bug, because there could be charges if they would found out that you took advantage of the problem. But it would really be tempting for sure knowing how hard it is to earn profit, or to simply get the win, in gambling. But for a long run, doing the right thing is the best.

the best thing to do in these cases is to report the bug to the operators of the gambling site hoping that they will be grateful by giving you a bonus or credit on their site...

That is right, they might reward you which is a win-win situation: you did the right way and you will also earn a reward for doing so. Think of such thing if ever the bug will be encountered by other players and it was used against you, would it still be fun if you are the one who suffer from the bug? Obviously it will not. That is what I am trying to point out with "longterm" enjoyment. And it would be better to feel a 'win' without cheating, not only in gambling but to most of the things.

That is right, just always put this in your mind.
"BE HONEST… Even If Others Are Not. Even If Others Will Not. Even If Others Cannot".

It will always have a good return and as I saw the last OP reply on his thread, he didn't expect he received a small reward that came from the gambling company that he reported the bug. Probably if you will abuse the bug and didn't report it there is a possibility that your profit will forfeit by the gambling owner.

I agree with your opinion.
Basically, gambling sites often have bugs that may be used by some people, so that gambling sites suffer unfair losses.
All possibilities must be considered if it happens like that, what if the gambling site replied to not allow withdrawals for all users. Of course it will be a big problem, not only will the gambling sites be harmed but also other users who don't take advantage of the bug will be affected.

Well, there is a saying that what you do to others might cost you after in the end, and for me, it is true because, doing such things might make you rich but, it will still remain in your conscience and thoughts that will affect you greatly in the later applications when you make decisions. Also, it will affect a lot of people that supports the company or sites and it will be terrible to happen. It would mean taking what others own and will lessen you as a human.

Always choose to do the right thing, that's more important.

There's is no perfect gambling sites that human has made, and if the bugs appeared other gamblers doesn't report them to the developer or administrator they just enjoying to benefit bugs from a gambling sites they are not equal. For me, I will report the bug to the developer/administrator and tell the bugs of their gambling sites, so that it will prevent other gambles to by pass their sites.

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 ?

If they cant trace my real identity after exploiting then I will try to place a bet and see if I can make profit. After taking advantage I will report the bug. We gamble to win and bumping into this scenario is like a chance given for us to experience how to guarantee win. It might sounds greedy but I think its a human nature to sometimes become greedy when it comes to money.

At least someone is honest here and I somehow agree with you that placing bets and gaining more profits is the possible way anyone including me will be lured into rather than reporting it and just imagine if they give no bonus how deeply it will hurt because you had a clear opportunity to make easy bucks but following the honest path gets you nothing and everyone you share your story will laugh at you.

I think placing some bets and making money and once I feel I have won enough I might report it to them so that the casino doesn't face too heavy a loss because somehow I feel attached with all casinos I play at and I don't want them to loose too much money. But there is a chance that I don't need money or I had a good day and find such bug then I will simply report the bug to them and hope they give some bonus, if they do give some bonus it just helps else I already had a good day.

Most likely you will get caught when you request for withdrawal of that won bet because most of the gambling sites verify your results before approving your withdrawals so its better try to report the bug and get rewards if there is anything they offers.

When the gambling website has used automated the withdrawal process, the sites will not know about that, but I think they will set the alarm for the gamblers who want to withdraw big money, so they will know who is that gambler. Maybe they will need to verify the gambler first before they will let the process execute the withdrawal.

OP said that the site is well-established therefore withdrawals should be automated. The winning amount will surely be withdrawn smoothly by those exploiters by doing a batch withdrawal so the devs won't notice it quickly.

The irregularities might just be noticed once that account did some continuous withdrawal or suddenly make a large withdrawal. As we know, large cashout are always subject to verification. That's where the verification will now take place and devs will now discover the bug. The account involved will now be terminated but the damage is already done. A lesson for the site owner to regularly check their system.

Report it, I don't want my account be ban in a casino, and if I report it, maybe they'll give me some compensation for my honesty and concern of their website, I know everyone has their own action towards this, but for now, that's what I should do although it might be hard to decide when you are in the actual situation.

It is much easier to say than to actually follow the actions you suggest to others. I am quite sure to all the guys who are saying that they will report the bug most of them will actually exploit it and they might be not wrong either because look you are gambling for money and you get it easily than most of the guys will just grab the easy money and move on.

If you ask me, it depends on the casino and I must admit I would be tempted to use the bug to make some loss back I had on the casino but then I might actually hope that reporting it will get me some bug bonus which will be good enough. Very tricky situation indeed because suppose you exploit the bug and they don't approve your withdraw while if you had reported they gave you a better bonus.

I mean that’s what the OP did? He said that I tested a Bet to check out when he already knew this bug exists. So saying the same thing with betting 0.1 won’t be a big deal and then you can easily report it. Profit - Profit both side.

It is better if you do not gamble on such bets. There can be an attempt to scam your money, as when you place the bet, the bet has no result and the site refuses to pay the money. If the site is a trusted one, this will never happen. Only the scammers will opt for this way to collect the money.

Do you have any live example where you face such bets yourself ?

If you been playing on a site that you love for a long time better support them by reporting a bug, but if you are playing in a site that has a bad reputation you can exploit the bug and only report it after you made a withdraw, so for me it's a case to case basis depending on the reputation of the gambling site where you are playing.

Truly speaking atleast once every user will try to benefit out of the bug, and only after that they'll tend to report the bug to the respective website. Every common man is in need of money, and when it comes to gambling we're looking for easy money. When the same is possible out of the bug, one out of ten might report directly without winning anything out of the error.

Actually the best way is to put a small bet on such event and once its settled in your favor then move to the support team and explain them the bug with proof (the won bet id) and they usually credit you with a decent bonus for the bug since you mentioned they are big casino and well reputed.

While if you follow the wrong path which is what most people will follow because it brings instant money, the problem is once the casino finds the bug and realize the exploits you have made they will either ignore you if the amount you ran away with is small or if the amount is big they will use all the IP logs of yours and chase you down with all the proofs on their side.

Now choice is yours but I still believe reporting the bug will get you better bonus and self respect than exploiting it.

I will surely take benefit by taking advantage of the bug. It's a common approach for a person like me that already losses big in my whole gambling life. My account will be ban for that but what matters to me is, I withdraw some earnings out of it. Creating another account with another IP easy.

I'm not that bad person but we are talking about gambling here. The gambling site will take that as a lesson to improved more their system. Reporting it right away is good but how will they become serious if they are comfortable that no one will do harm to them. There is no perfect site but OP is talking about a site that already well-known in the industry that should already have a good system in several years of operating.

We are gambling money to their site. At least they must show us that we can entrust them with our money.

I'm not the most risk-taking person and I've had bad similar experiences in the past when I've tried to exploit issues that I find with games or systems, so I would most likely just report the problem to the casino and ask for a bug finder's bounty or a little payment in exchange. Most sites and especially major casinos should have no problem giving you a little compensation, especially for more major bugs.

There's always the potential for you to get caught trying to exploit a bug and you might just get banned and leave with nothing instead of something. Many online casinos review withdrawals and transactions as well, so it's very possible they could find some sort of discrepancies with your account and look further into them.

Yes.

Since the devs are unaware of the site's bug, the normal withdrawal in the system will run smoothly as usual. The one that will be flagged and will create an alarm, at most of the cases, are those who win big (even thru legit way or not) then withdraw it (depends on what amount range that a site can be considered as "big").

Since bug exploiters are aware of this, they will cash out their winnings by batch and hoping to withdraw it all before the devs get notified of the bug. They don't care anymore about the account or IP ban since they already take advantage of the bug.

It would be better to report the bug, because if you take advantage of the bug it will certainly have a negative impact not only for the platform but it will also have a negative impact for yourself, because even reporting bugs directly quickly it will give a good impact for you Personally and also to keep the platform operating for a long time, at least I have experienced something like this in the past with as soon as possible reporting a bug until they gave me a little gift even though at first I never expected it.

As a practical dude, I would certainly take advantage of the bug using a different account and then report it after I have gotten my winnings. Then again, I cannot fathom the thought of earning a huge amount at the expense of the game's integrity and me cheating, so I'll report it directly instead. Besides, it will help keep the platform afloat, plus they might even reward me with some chump change as a token of gratitude + reputation within the community. With or without the benefits, for the sake of the platform staying in the field, I'd report things directly.

As much as I am tempted to take an advantage with this bug is the much I worry that it could be use against me, and worse might turn the situation upside down. That's why I am going to report such bug instead, and who knows that I may be rewarded with such act, a reward that is equivalent close to what I am supposed to win. Talk about winning here, with such cases it is always a win-win situation from the both of you (website and yourself) if you'll be cooperating with the people behind the platform on reporting the bug. 'Cause you might get rewarded, be offered a privileges, and lastly the recognition and on the website's side they'll be able to fix it and avoid such further loses with such problems.

Thank you for your input guys , this happened yesterday evening , and I contacted them and informed them about the bug straight away

.

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

.

You did the right thing and I am happy that you are honest as well, anyone that says that he will not be tempted to take advantage of such bug will most likely be lying, however you were honest and you reported the bug to the casino, I hope they are grateful and they give you something in return since they could have faced massive losses if a person other than you discovered the bug and was not honest about it like you were, but even if they do not give you anything be proud that you could resist such a massive temptation.

Honestly, the best thing to do is to report as soon as possible the bug because taking advantage of the weaknesses of someone else will eventually go back to you later on so if you will be able to see a bug then probably report it immediately to those people who are the admins in order for them to fix it already.

I would exploit the bug.
The same way that the gambling website would take your money I would do the same and try to benefit from it.
The bug would not exist forever, so you can act now and make some money a priori.

The reality of having this opportunities, you have your point but for sure owners have it's allocated budget and if in case there's concern about having a big win like that, it will alarm them and automatically freeze everything, business owners knew about possibilities and they are doing extra effort to make sure that if this loop line happen to them they have counter measures to work on.

In casess like this, you have to act noble by reporting the bug, you might never know what that good deed of yours will payback. Irrespective of the wrong or untrustworthy behavior of the site, you don't payback evil with evil.

You might think, getting your fair share from the site is the best option since most of the site are wealthy and don't care about their patronizers, also since it's online your identity could be anonymous which could boost the ability of your whereabouts not been traceable. Nevertheless doing the right thing everytime is worthy than any silver or gold.

In some gambling sites if you report a bug, they will gonna reward you and give you something like bitcoin or other coins. So it is up to you if you will be honest and report it to earn some rewards or take advantage of it. Although I myself would admit that I can also somehow take advantage of the situation but my conscience at the end will not make it. It is more exciting to bet on sports and win without the bug than do some cheating.

But kidding aside, I will report it and never ever try to take advantage of the bug (until now I have no ideas how could this possibly happen, well it was just a hypothetical scenario so never mind). In every aspect of life that we do, integrity is the most important thing to preserve because this where purity of your conscience depends. Even I knew that gambling gives me the tiniest rate of winning, I don't care as long as the money I earned and I lose came from good.

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 ?

I can do both wins some and then report the bug later, I can recover my previous losses this way, they should hire a good coder or fire the current one for not looking for a bug while the platform is not yet online, so far I haven't encountered bugs on gambling sites that I'm playing in the past and now.

I do the same, I'll take the opportunities first then after collecting my earnings i'll report the bugs. It's once in a lifetime opportunities and knowing each gambling businesses they've always have the higher chances to win over their participants.
This kind of bugs are not usual and it's a problem internally so the site will pay for the damages.

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

.

well that is too low for the favor you made for the company,imagine if you did abused the Bug/you can easily win much more than what they can offer you,but that is just a reward because what you done is good thing for others and not for any payments.

This will let me award you also a Salute because only few that will not take advantage of the situation.

I'll prefer to report it instead of trying to take benefit from it. No other reason except "being honest" on everything we do is better.
There is also high chance that the site will notice it if you try to abuse the bug and you may be in a problem such as frozen balance or blocked account and you wont be able to do anything because I believe most site wont accept any bug abuses.

It would be far and honest behaviour to.report the bag. I guess that is up to everyone's concious but it would be wrong to try to benefit from bug or malfunction you've discovered. That is my opinion, so I wouldn't try to use it.
Also, there is possibility for your account to be baned or put on some black list and you don't need extra troubles so think twice.

I guess I would just report the bug since it could affect their website and the worst case is they could shut down if they couldn't handle it anymore and they lose tons of money already.
I guess reporting it would be the best to keep their website and there could also be a reward for telling them the bug.
I am not saying that it wouldn't cross my mind to use the opportunity but if it is my favorite gambling site then it would be a shame if they would stop operating because of that bug.

If they cant trace my real identity after exploiting then I will try to place a bet and see if I can make profit. After taking advantage I will report the bug. We gamble to win and bumping into this scenario is like a chance given for us to experience how to guarantee win. It might sounds greedy but I think its a human nature to sometimes become greedy when it comes to money.

lol yeah . money is money or money is everything . means we will do something even if it itsnt really appropriate to do at all but to some peope that are still good . they wont do such legit crimes like roberry , hold uping ,or other intended acts .

while this one is only a bug and we dont intend it to happen . it was like a kind of accident so i think its okay . it was like finding a money or a valueable stuff outside and its up to you if you return that stuff to its rightful owner or not but chances are it wont be returned again .

Depends on your mentality and situation.

How?
If you are honest at mind and loyal at heart, you'll definitely report it to the gambling website to let them fix it and not to get exploited by others.

If your days are bad and you are looking for money and your mentality about gambling websites be like - Hey, their house edge is already stealing homes from people, why not me exploit them fully till they exhaust and close their business, haha! Then you will go the other way and just destroy that casino.

Both of the statements above are hypothetical and can be compared with gamblers on a case-by-case basis.

Those two are very accurate (for me at least), I remember ending up in a similar scenario where the sportsbook paid my bet twice. My initial decision was to keep the money since I know they'll get it back in just one day and the winnings wasn't significant. After some time I had to do the right thing and report the mistake since they've been good to me overall and I really like their site.

It's very tempting to exploit the bug but if you are playing in a gambling site that has a good reputation and fair to gamblers, and it happens to be your favorite gambling site, of course, you don't want it to see go bankrupt because of what you are going to do I just tell them about the bug, and maybe they will thank you for this and give you some rewards, honest people should be rewarded.

I will report the bug to them so they can fix and there will be no problem with their site. I don't want to try to benefit from it because I am concern with my account if it gets a ban by them if I try to benefit from the bug. We don't need to do that, especially if the site is good enough in handling their members so they can give the best services to their members.

I think they will know easy who are cheating on their site, and I don't want to be that. It is better to tell them than risky our account because that means, we will lose our account and they will not allow us to play in their site.

I don't think there will be any possible bans unless they discover the bug themselves and find you cheating them, or until you do it just once or twice with a bigger amount and take your profit and just leave the site as it is. By saying "leave", I meant leaving it forever. I know I told something else a few moments before and I'm not in support of shady activities like cheating anyone or any website, but I just gave my opinion on your account ban statement.

Definitely, it depends on the player's position at the time of discovering the bug. But if your battlecry is not to fall this potential bug to greedy ones, you will report it immediately to the gambling site. Who knows, it is not only you that have had discovered such loophole in the system? Because if it will continue, that site will be bankrupt soon and you didn't do anything about it. Your conscience will bug you for the rest of your life. Your choice!!!

One thing for sure, I will take advantage of this bug. It's not that I'm in need of money or greed but it's not my fault to discover this. That's unintentional. We are not a good samaritan here but we are gamblers risking money as always.

And besides, this bug will surely be known later on as many players will also discover this. They will take advantage too so just ride them. It's impossible that only a few of them will test the bug even how loyal they are on that site.

As a gambler I would honestly take advantage to it and bet all the money that I have and afterwards might report it to the gambling site itself but this would near impossible to happen since most of the casino or sports betting platform always consider this kind of bugs and wouldn't be able to make a mistake for this since it would cost them so much money for it.

Also they always run a beta test/mode to see if there are some bugs, etc. and sometimes they would ask some participants to join the beta and give rewards if they find a bug.

And before reporting it to the site, we need confirmations so there are several bets that will be made as part of collecting proofs. Up to these people now if they will withdraw the earnings then report or leave the profit and let the site decide.

That's not a form of greed for me. It's human nature. After all, surely there will be rewards for reporting that bug.

In this case. S/he tried the bug if it is freely working and then, after in awhile once the bet the have been place s/he urgently reported it to the site owner and has been able to cancel all the bets that was been placed.

Let's face it rather than being an angel lol. Realtalk.

I believed 95% of people will try to take advantage of the bug before reporting it especially to those who encounter it for the first time since it's a rare case providing that site is already well-established. Of course, exploiting the bug for a long time might result in unusual behavior of the account since it was recorded. And before reporting it to the site, we need confirmations so there are several bets that will be made as part of collecting proofs. Up to these people now if they will withdraw the earnings then report or leave the profit and let the site decide.

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.

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.

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 Wink

Not all companies would really have that consideration on giving out bounties or some show of gratitude when someone do find a bug.
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

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.

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 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.
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 .

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 Cheesy

.

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 Cheesy

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.

What path would you follow , report the bug , or try to benefit from it ?

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.
