Vulnerabilities in gambling websites in past

[Peanutswar]

Most of the possible vulnerabilities is all about the connection through its database and makes traffic on the client-server which is the gambling platform experience an attack or we commonly called as the DDoS that makes the website down and the other one is the SQL injection common things and other security stuffs like the email which the user got caught by the hackers through phishing emails and other links.

Most of the Casino right don't have exploit because they done audit on all there software before they can get there license. Most of the exploits are only minimal and not that serious compared before since most of the gambling software is just on the trial phase.

Only promotion and faucet abuse is the only known error encountered on the current established casino.

You are being too naive, everything has vulnerabilities, it does not matter how well do you think you have coded something, hackers are experts at finding flaws in your code, this is why every single piece of software can be hacked and you can find cracked versions of them for free on the Internet, as it does not matter how much they secure their intellectual property with enough time, knowledge and the right tools a hacker will crack a piece of software 100% of the time.

Nothing is unhackable and you should really bare that in your mind thats why it isnt bad that you should really be that a bit paranoid when it comes to security of your coins on particular platforms
whether you are dealing with exchangers or gambling sites on where you do make out some deposits.Always mind off the risk because everything could happen in an instant which you should
be cautious and only spent out the money which you could afford to lose on the time you do make out deposits on a gambling site.

The majority of vulnerabilities in established gambling websites have already been patched; however, this does not imply that there are no vulnerabilities; as technology evolves, new vulnerabilities are discovered; however, in the case of established gambling websites, the vulnerabilities will be patched as soon as possible. Also, if you are serious about playing on a new website because of the freebies, you should be prepared to be scammed, so only deposit money that you can afford to lose.

The society we live in is very unsupportive for gambling. Be it online Gambling or gambling in casino. It is put in our mind from childhood days. Easy come, easy go. When you get the money through easy Channels. You let it flow with same ease through the other Channels. I have never seen person getting rich through gambling. So it's better to be safe than sorry!

There are people who got rich in gambling although this one talks on sports betting.

The big question is, do these fella's do still continue to play and able to secure out those profits for too long or
they had already lost it or breakeven?

I could never run an automated gambling platform for this reason alone.  Imagine having a hot wallet out there with hundreds of thousands of dollars or potentially even millions per day moving through it without any human verification.  I couldn't do it.  I see all of these threads from people wanting to hire others to build them gambling platforms and I just can't even imagine the risks involved with that approach.  This is why gambling with established sites is probably the way to go, even if there are better deals out there.  You never know if the 'house' is really just built of cards and one large win or hack will take them and all their users out.  I think this issue could be addresses with transparency of house funds, but I never see that done by any gambling houses.

I remember an issue with secondtrade.com .
Long story short, they allowed to bet btc price, playing betting options.
It seems It was easy manipulate their bets since they used as source only One site ! The trick was to pump or dump a value for a short period of time ... Like 1 minutes or so on.
They are now closed.

Another vulnerability has been probably detected in directbet. It was possible make a bet directly on chain.
Some users have been caught making double spend... It was not easy to detect and probably this activity lead to closure of activity.

This is true, the stress of running these sort of operations must be immense. Even at the best of times you're subject to DDOS attacks trying to blackmail you into stopping them for a price. I guess some of the most dangerous attacks, at least for the end users, will be the ones that go undetected for a long time and harvest all sorts of data which can be used to compromise people at other crypto related sites. The amount of people who will hand over private and sensitive documentation to these largely faceless organizations is huge - yet those documents can be used to commit all sorts of identity theft or gain access to other private accounts through coercion via support systems.

I believe we cannot predict all the possible problems which could happen to any project. Sometime things appear out of no where. So there is good chance we are trapped in whirlpool of hard times. In our culture people pray to God to save them from  unforeseen problems and from the bad time and from bad company. Many a time - we are in limbo thinking what did we do wrong. May we all be protected from bad times.

Pretty interesting how you relate praying to help you escape or avoid problems pertaining to hacks but that could work because if we remember we also pray in real life to avoid the daily risk or danger that we face when we travel or roam outside and it do works too but just like the saying said, you still must do an action and not only depending all the work to god for your wish to come true.

The action that we need to do here online is to do a research on how every things here work. Predicting is possible, let say the site is faulty and known to have a bad reputation, would you still play on them? obviously not because bad things can occur to you later on.

It's probably because many people have experienced big losses from gambling. They always tell their children to stay away from gambling, especially if they don't have good control over gambling. But there are people out there who can get rich through gambling.

But vulnerabilities that occur on gambling sites or other sites will always be there. As @xSkylarx said, along with the technology development, the security factor is always a point that the hackers will try to exploit to break into their servers. Only sites that really pay attention to security issues can always protect their sites from hackers.

Warning people that gambling is bad for someone that is not well prepared is good, but I don't agree that all of the people is not lucky to be in the gambling industry, there are quite few individuals who are successful in life because of playing gambling. About the vulnerabilities, it can't be help since we're just humans, we don't make perfect things since we're not even perfect in the first place.

No matter how good it seems a certain gambling site is, there's gonna be a weakness or few that could be found on it's system.

[Eureka_07]

Yeah this is true no matter how secured the system, there would be vulnerabilities for it to be breached. There will be flaws that hackers can use as a door to access it.  I just remember one of my favorite quote from one of my favorite movie Who AM I, they said that "No system is safe" which I really agree since I was on high school. It is impossible to achieve 100% security of course.

Yes, no system is safe. Cases that we often hear about are hackers who use backdoors to penetrate security holes they find through scanning programs. Or if it's a gambling site, they will try to exploit the .mdb file to get logins and passwords because that's probably what we usually hear. But I don't know, I'm not too familiar with that complicated system.

We, as users, can only protect our accounts from hackers by implementing all recommended by the site. And if the site turns out to be leaked and a hacker manages to break into it, that site should try to fix it and clean things up.

What do you really mean by this? 

In my understanding.

You warn people that are new or not used to gambling that gambling is bad. It's simple as that and we've been telling that to those gamblers that can be categorized in different types.

Mostly, to those that cannot control themselves as said of not being prepared is about the possible turn of the tides of losing much money than what they can afford to lose.

They're not prepared to lose a lot because they might be too optimistic as they gamble but gets the unexpected results.

Being optimistic towards gambling is never been a suggested thing when you do get involved with it because it would just result into desperation which is something not good and it is really just for the sake of entertainment

nothing-less but people do really overextent with their hopes thats why they do really end up on having this kind of impression.As for security concern then nothing is unhackable but you could somewhat have that

peace of mind when you are dealing with known and reputable sites but of course dont leave out big amounts on any platform you are dealing with.

There is nothing to be optimistic about gambling. Gambling does not make person rich, it is a thrilling game which can cost one's peace and this is an addiction like drinking. I have not seen people being benefited from it. If there is anyone who has seen someone being rich and happy being a gamblor please enlighten me as well.

Nonsense. I completely disagree with you. It's definitely possible to get rich through gambling and there are plenty of examples out there to prove what I said.

However, these winners are few and far between since the house wins majority of the time. It's very tough to get rich through gambling, but not impossible.

There is no point to being harsh on anyone - everyone has their opinion, In one of the links you mentioned about women winning a bet in football match doesn't seem to be regular gamblor - she was a heartbroken woman who won a bet. Luck was on her side. Also in other story a man with $50 - don't seem like he is regular gamblor.

I could never run an automated gambling platform for this reason alone.  Imagine having a hot wallet out there with hundreds of thousands of dollars or potentially even millions per day moving through it without any human verification.  I couldn't do it.  I see all of these threads from people wanting to hire others to build them gambling platforms and I just can't even imagine the risks involved with that approach.

But this risk is present in almost all online crypto businesses and not only casinos. Exchanges, for example, also process transactions worth millions of dollars each day automatically. Their systems probably process more transactions than casinos do.
The way to mitigate this risk is by limiting the amount you keep on hot wallets to the minimum and move the rest to your cold wallets and process only small transactions automatically. Large transactions should be processed manually.

Anything online does have that corresponding risk thats why we should only deposit on the amount that we could afford to lose but since you are dealing with gambling
then those amounts will likely to be lost totally so i dont see much of a stress or bothering kind of thing on your part. Hacks are there possibly if those hackers would
really able to see some security exploits which they could make use of and tend to stole money.So lets just be aware because anytime it could really happen.

I’m surprised there aren’t more vulnerabilities regarded reveled secret hashes and such. Not going to lie. I’ve been banned from a few casinos for nothing at all and I would love to rek them or give someone else in for to do so.
