Most casinos would pay a bug bounty if the bug is critical, you should contact the support on the site and ask for the right way to report the bug, maybe the site has an special mail for that.

And remember, if you exploit the bug your account will be closed and you will not get a bounty, that's why is important to report it as fast as you find it.

You should check first with the support about their terms about bug bounty since not all casino rewards user that report a bug especially if it’s not that critical. There’s many incidents here that casino decline payment because they “fix the bug” right after the user reported it and claiming that they are onto it before it was reported.

This is why you should record everything as proof before you report it to the support once you confirmed that they have bug bounty program.

First what is the casino's stance on bug because as far as I know,  some casinos declare a bounty on bugs and if anyone fines those bugs them you get your payment,  but if the casino hasn't declared a bounty it may be hard to get something out of them,  best you can do in that situation is just to approach the casino and inform them of the bugs.

Sometimes there are cases of gamblers taking advantage of those bugs and along the line, the casino may deny them their winnings.

maybe ask first if they pay users who find bugs. asking for the fee before revealing the bug i think will make sense, just make sure the bug is critical and can affect the profit of the casino.

it's hard to do this however because for you to be able to know it's a critical bug you have to exploit it as well. and then if they find out you exploited to gain then you will not be paid. this is a dilemma.

Thanks for the reply all. I did contact support and let them know of a possible issue but before I went farther I wanted to make sure because I didn't really get a commitment to a bounty pay. I'm not the most tech savvy but so if I can get it to happen someone who knows what their doing can be rich. Maybe

Perhaps, try to look for a dedicated page for bug bounty or an announcement. Also, I think if it's a reputable casino, there's a good chance, people have discussed about the same thing in a gambling message board.

In any case, it will be up to discussion and you'd have to wait for the casino in question's answer -- whether they're willing to reward people for bug tip-offs and if your case does qualify for it.

In my opinion it's a substantial bug but again I'm not qualified or educated enough on it. But if I can exploit it then others would have fun. Very reputable casino with a large reach. I've contacted support and waiting. No bounty page on their site but for sure reputable so I hope they would compensate given the bug.

I do hope they hear you out or at least pay you handsomely for the bug. Some brands are so mean when it comes to paying out bug bounties yet if the person inside decided to exploit the bug, they could cause some reasonable loses to the service.

I saw a scenario where a service refused to listen to someone who had discovered a bug, claiming they had no bug bounty. Some months later, a bad act discovered the bug and exploited it. The service suffered huge losses as a result.

As far as I know casino who wanted to reward its users to find a bug had it in their program.  If bug is found by the user, they need to report it to the support staff then the support staff will forward it to the technical team for verification.  The casino who is true to their words to reward users if bug were found will surely reward the person who found and reported the bug but there are some instances where a player reports a bug and yet the casino do not reward the player saying that it was already found out or they already know the existence of the bug.

So it is 50/50 for the player that reported a bug to get rewarded.

Hopefully he will get some bounty if the bug is actually critical or have some relevance, but let us be honest, in the most of the times when comes to security and claiming bugs developers and white hat hackers are not only supposed to find the bugs and disclose them to the services/casinos in a responsible way, but have good enough communicative skills for them to explain what the bug/exploit is about and what could have happen have not they figured it out before a malicious actor.
Since I am pretty sure costumer service does not have any power to grant money to people who find bugs or exploits, they will likely transfer the case to the security department, and from the security department to some administration to decide whether the problem found deserves some money as compensation.
Sadly, sometimes the compensation of these kinds of situation highly depend on someone who handles some of the money of the casino and has no idea about coding or security. If one is not able to convince the security staff of the gravity of a exploit, it is very unlikely the security employee will end up convincing the one person who is supposed to approve the reward .

If you find any bug in casino and you report the bug they won't pay for it but rather will make adjustments, except they set a bounty for it before you could be paid for the bug you find. There are proper ways of reporting bugs and you need to submit using the formats the casino night provide on their bug bounty report, otherwise except they wanna reward you for the time being maybe it could from the technical team or something so.

Well, it's hard to be ethical here... finding a bug should get you a reward, but not all casinos have a "bug bounty". So before you report some bug try to speak with their support and if they can refer you to some admins. Before revealing your cards try to talk about it, and maybe you can get something in return. Sadly, not all casino owners/managers are fair. So if you share what you know with them before any deals you can stay without any reward.

looking forward to what they have to say when you show them what bug you found, I am also curious about which casino you found this bug on and what issue/exploit the bug is causing(would you mind sharing what casino it is? you don't have to if you don't want to share the name of the casino).

Most of the casino already have a fixed amount when they announce a bug bounty and some time it fixed and if the gambler who found the bug is verified not to have exploited the bug before reporting the bug and also,  casinos pay well for bug bounty since it helps them to save losing huge from such bug.

So it settled deal and the casino stands to benefit more from this than the gambler himself, The majority of the bbugsa left unnoticed for a while and that has led to the collapse of many casino platforms.

So to avoid such incidents, casinos will pay a good amount to make sure they operate without bugs availabilities.

If there's a running bug bounty campaign on a casino then contact the representative about bugs you find out and for sure you get rewarded. But if they don't have any and still you find out something that can possibly affect their user then try to reach up their support then tell what you discover then ask about possible rewards about the but you had notice. If they are generous to reward you about things you find out then its good but you also need to know that this will depend on the severity of  the bug you found since if they find it not so big then you might not get any rewards.

But still give a shot to discuss this matter to them since for sure they might take a look on the reports you made since for sure they value more the security of their casino.

They arent accountable not unless if they do make out some bounty program or having those announcement on having that reward if ever there's some exploit discovery.
This is why it would really be that depending whether you would be getting paid or not once you do report a bug. Most of the time if people find out some exploit
and this does really increase out the chance for them to make money then for sure it would be spoiled but for those who are minding about being ethical and honest
then reporting it out immediately. Results might be given some bounty or not depending into their discretion then it would be just better that you should not expect too much on this regard.

I advise you to do the following: if the casino where you found a bug is a casino that is on this forum, then when you contact the casino and tell them that you found a bug and they tell you to first show them where is the proof of this, so you tell them that you will provide proof to some trusted members of this forum (DT members) and that these members will confirm to the casino that you are telling the truth, after that the members will show the casino a part of the proof and you are constantly monitoring the bug so that it is not fixed after you have shown the proof and they do not pay you, if the casino really has a reward for anyone who finds a bug in the casino and they do not pay you

then you could file scam charges against them. Now if the casino does not have any bug bounty program then you cannot contact the casino saying that you discovered a bug and want financial compensation for your discovery, you can alert the casino about the bug but without asking for financial compensation. But if the case has compensation for those who find a bug, avoid negotiating alone with the casino because they can deceive you and you won't receive anything and you won't be able to prove anything, I've seen a case here on the forum of someone who discovered a bug in the casino , he alerted the casino and sent proof and the casino fixed the bug and did not pay him anything and as the person negotiated alone he did not have witnesses to confirm that when he discovered the bug the casino had not fixed it

If that has been found for the very first time then I think that you will be compensated for it but then, they can always claim that it has been reported before and they are just taking time for their actions to be made and fix that bug you have found. Since it is holidays, very few working force and many probably are on leave to cater that bug. Means that they can void it and say something like that but I just hope that you will get significant bounty for it and good luck.
