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.

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.

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 ?

As far as I'm concerned, I would feel bad.
Everyone who wins certainly feels good, but at the moment I would not be good,
You would definitely win those two shots! Congratulations

But think if you would win respect

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.

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.

[ralle14]

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.

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  .

[Ailurophile]

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.

[bitbunnny]

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'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.

[peter0425]

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 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.

[sunsilk]

This is all about your attitude. If you have been honest, there's no way for you to take advantage of that bug and soon they will eventually find it out. Your account might even be at risk if you won't report that because suspicious activity will eventually caught by them.

It can also be your pride to report it because you have helped them improve their system.

[NavI_027]

Hmm, sounds interesting for me huh. I can smell a huge amount of money for this kind of loopholes *evil laugh.

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. I always fight fair and square, I will never do such thing simply because of being immoral .

[Meowth05]

In all honesty I would benefit from it. I am not hypocrite who says that reporting it would be better. Trust me, if there really is a loophole and you really are to discover it you will abuse that loophole. We all wanted easy cash though we are afraid to admit it. Don't fool yourself people.

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.

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.

Let’s think from other side , say you own the site and their is a loophole exists now would you want someone to inform you if it exists or you would be better off by becoming poorer as people will keep exploiting that loophole and you will in the end have to close down the site as you will have no money to pay it . Hope this will make some sense it’s just that on which side you fall.

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.
