Crypto Casinos all using Cloudflare?

[Outhue]

There are better solutions out there but they choose Cloudflare? The crash should be a severe warning that centralised system means only one thing only, (SPOF) Single Point Of Failure for the entire Internet.

There are now better decentralised versions of Cloudflare that eliminate SPOF for good and guarantee availability, decentralised storage is the future. A time will come where this will happen again and it will be harder to fix, the outage takes hours of people's time and businesses and everyone is already screaming, I wonder what would happen if it took longer, maybe 48hrs then maybe many people will open their eyes finally.

Not all but majority of crypto casino used cloudflare to revent DDOS or attack to its service. However, it seems we're too dependent on the cloudflare, and an outage happened to the cloudflare makes us feel like we're living in the era without internet.
Kinda weird, but it's the reality. I'm feeling so empty during the Cloudflare's outage. No access to the gambling, social media or everything, except the site that is not using cloudflare.

It's possible that they have got some backups when outages like this comes again. Also, it's a good back up if we've got other sites where we can enjoy at if we're really in need to gamble. Otherwise, these outages could take for several hours or worst in days but I'm sure they all have the counter to provide if such problem occurs again in the future.

Yes they have. I used the site at the time and it worked. Only few sites gave me problem and Stake was not among them.

That's good if it didn't gave any problem and so if some problems of this outage comes again with cloudflare, then stake won't be one of those that will be affected by it. I believe the others now will start to take an alternative service that cloudflare provides if ever the trouble comes again although it's just a few hours of interruption. Welp, I'm not technically inclined to that service and that's just my opinion.

You can check the network tab on your browser's developer tools to see if cloudflare is providing the page content.

This is good to know.
Many casinos I checked are using cloudflare
I asked AI to tell me what casinos dont use cloudflare and there was a few of them, but I dont have accounts there.
If not using cloudflare than they use AWS so something else for ddos attacks.

Post mortem is here: https://blog.cloudflare.com/18-november-2025-outage/

TLDR: The issue was caused by a change to one of their database systems' permissions, which caused their software to fail.

Should we just trust them on that and can we verify their claims?

Which reasons would they have to lie? It all seems very believable to me.

That's like saying theymos could be lying when he said the forum was down because of a DDoS attack... and asking if we can verify that (why would we need to do that, though?).

Maybe it's time for many organizations to seek an alternative to Cloudflare. I am not an expert in this field but it seems alternatives like Amazon CloudFront, Akamai, Google Cloud CDN and Fastly could still do the same work. This outage has caused so much problems that many gambling platforms have experienced financial losses 

Even these alternatives can have an outage. 100% uptime is never guaranteed and there will be times like day before yesterday where there was issues for a couple of hours. Cloudflare did resolve that efficiently and within a couple of hours. They also did keep everyone informed about the the situation so I do not think that going through cloudflare is a really bad decision.

These alternatives seems to be good like amazon cloudfront or akamai but they will still be infected if there is increase in sudden traffic. It will always crash the servers not matter how big the capacity of the servers are. It depends on how quickly they resolve the issue and cloudflare seemed promising for me because of their quick resolution.

Well everyone have their opinion you can choose to go for other alternatives when you're not satisfied with how certain platform operates however the matter with cloudflare isn't "100% inevitable" like you said but since cloudflare has resolved the issue it shouldn't be much of a problem cause every gamblers preferred platform can now be accessed. I know that some folks were not really happy about the situation because it hindered them from gambling when they needed to but they should bare with cloudflare since the issues have been revolved.
