There are a plethora of illegal books, many run by college students, young adults and even teens. How secure are these websites??
What I am really asking is how easy (possible) would it be to hack the site and change a users balance without being detected??

No one cares for the simple reason that the people who go and ask for trouble are the ones who go and just sign up in any of these newly established sport bookies that has everything as a copy-paste from reputable casinos except they cannot have the same security,audit and many other mechanisms in place to guarantee people funds.The reputable ones are the ones who have stood time and only positive reviews you can find about them,not a single complain left without response,so most smart people are the ones who make their own research for any website,even more for a casino which is related to money before joining one,I have never been victim of such hacks/scams for the simple reason that I always read a lot before deciding to join a website.

So this is as a reply to what to do,so to avoid those new sites and only join reputable ones.

If you don’t want stress, then better to avoid this kind of site at all cost especially if you already have the idea that the site is being run by an incompetent individual. We tend to try new site and trust it easily, again always do your own research before you put big money and always test the water before going all in.

Illegal books are not secured.
Why put your money on the line, why put your mental health on the line to gamble at illegal books because of a few " promised" win.

Aside of hacks, the government can shut them down, aside this also, the bookies can ban or block your access to your account can be denied. This has a higher probability of happening than a hack.

Where have you seen that? You have a source for that? When you open a sportsbook you need to know what you are doing or you can get ruined easily and quickly by good bettors. In addition, I don't know what you're calling "illegal" because there is no international rules, and criteria are very lax in some countries if any.

Why would anyone use any of those sites anymore.  Back in the day when sports or casino betting wasn't as easy to access you had to take risks.  Nowadays there are plenty of reputable choices that you can use with little to no worries.   The only reason I could even see is if you get cash out and not digital and if they have better odds than any other place you can go legally.  Either way too much risk.

Not sure what you're up to, and to be honest I don't think I would be even interested to explore and pick your brain with whatever's going on in that hunk of meat but then again I'd humor your question.

Depends on the production quality of the betting site that they have made. While it's easy to assume that since these are broke college students, they couldn't afford to go ham on security and would most likely cut corners where they could, but developing a website's becoming cheaper nowadays, and the internet's becoming even more secure, which means these people will eventually have free rein to do and create whatever they want without the fear of getting duped while they're trying to commit crimes.

Plus it wouldn't be that profitable honestly to scam these people, when they only cater to a couple of gamblers within the campus, maybe the entire school they're studying in plus a couple neighborhoods within their vicinity. And to go through all that trouble just to tweak someone's balance? I don't think that's a fair trade to me.

How can you be sure that it's actually a student running the bookmaker site you saw? While entirely possible, it's unlikely. A proper bookie will have its own support and staff to keep things going. So a single student having the budget is just unlikely.

But the other thing here is that you'd probably want to avoid no-name bookies for other reasons. Let's say you have an exceptionally big win, how can you be sure that they will pay out? Generally don't just gamble on sites that just pop out of nowhere. Search for their reputation here and in other reputable forums and hear what actual gamblers have to say. Bitcointalk is actually a very good forum to seek established online casinos that you can trust. Because if there's any discrepancy to an online casino experienced users here will pick it apart to every detail.

Simple, if they're run by unknown people then why you're going to use them? you know that they're illegal so why patronize them?

Every website can be hacked by anybody and having the weak security that they have makes them easy to get hacked. That is why legitimate casinos that have reputations over time invest a lot in the security of their systems.

They don't get penetrated easily by the hackers but they're not 100% secure because of some updates that they've might missed or the upgrade and fault finding by the hackers through potential loopholes.

Anything is possible in this era. A lot of "wannabe" hackers and people learning all about it just by watching the popular streaming site.
But let's face it, a sports bookie is called a reputable one not just because of its services but also because of its security against these threats. I mean initially, there's no necessity to be threatened, they have to be prepared with this from day 1 because all those succubus will be there to suck the money out if they leave the lock open.

So we as customers will rely on picking what is the best online bookie for us. That's our job, it cannot be one way only. We also want to protect our money so we do our research too and that will help prevent what we are afraid of from happening.
In my case, I always use the comments of the people who have tried them, the courageous ones who took the risk and tested the website and live to tell the story.

On point! especially if you know that it is not secured, it is much better to avoid such sites because you have no claim in case of problems or hacking incidents, the money you put in there is not safe especially as you said, it is operated by incompetent and unreliable individuals. We should be better nowadays at knowing legit sites, there is nothing to lose if we do a fact check first before we become impulsive in our decisions especially when there is money involved.

Who would bother with those websites? You have a lot of sportbooks which will be happy to take your business just on this market, and if you are willing to add fiat casinos to the mix, that number goes up dramatically.

So instead of wondering stuff like that, simply forget about them, as the risks that you will take by gambling there are massive, because that kind of sportbook could scam you whenever they want and you will have no way to try to get your money back, as the sportbook has no license anyway, so the people behind it are not afraid of breaking the law.

If you say websites like that, of course they are not secure and not trustworthy, because they are designed by individuals who just copy-paste from existing casino templates, there is no security and no audit on them. So it's best to avoid using casino platforms like that, because it's clear that when you encounter problems or win big or when they have several hundred users, they can just disappear and run away from their responsibilities.

What I am really asking is how easy (possible) would it be to hack the site and change a users balance without being detected??

That's possible if you hack a website like this. If you manage to enter their database without being detected, then you can change your balance. However, it seems that even if they are not credible, they still have knowledge in the field of hacking, so not being detected may be difficult, but that doesn't mean there are no loopholes.

Which sites are you referring to? maybe you can give some specific examples?
It's obvious that I absolutely wouldn't trust a site like that.
And it's obvious that numbers in a database can always be modified. Of course they can't have the same safety rules like a big operator. I will just use only legitimate operators I will never deal with unregistered one.

College students have easy access to the internet and only GOD knows the information and sites visited by these students. Illegal books are mainly discreet information that are high class based, but got into the wrong hands, hacks will become vast and users will start complaining of loss of data. They will not be able to solve what's coming their path, though we have at our front important information but with the existence of hackers, things will be rough handled. These sites will generate important information but with the hacks everything blocked and complicated.

[Julien_Olynpic]

To be honest, I don’t quite understand why illegal bookmaker organizations should be used when there are legal, reputable ones. Here, apparently, the only question is the advantages, pros and cons of such work. Let's think about what advantages there could be in playing on an illegal bookmaker's website? Nothing even comes to my mind. Maybe. Are there any other coefficients? Is there scope for a arb strategy? Are there any restrictions for some players who have had their account blocked on other sites? Each specific case will have its own answers. As for the shortcomings, they have already been cited here many times. The main thing is the possibility of fraud, lack of audits, support, etc.

I have never used an Illegal sportsbook so I don't have much information about those but as far as I can understand then using of anything that's illegal should be avoided. If I understand it better then illegal sportsbooks are maintained by incompetent, corrupt, and fraud people who can't be trusted.

They can run away with ones money and no one will be able to take action against them. That's why I think it's much better to avoid those illegal sportsbook platforms and go with the ones that are provided by trusted sportsbook providers.

So I assume that you mean sports book right? since you are in gambling section so maybe that site is what you are referring on.

But since as you mean its illegal then its been operated by college student or young adult then it does mean that those illegal book makers cannot pay their obligations to their site users especially if there player gain something from their site.

So much better not to use it for risky reason and much better use those sites that have reputation and also have good result for compensating their site users when they earn something from them.

[blckhawk]

Please, if you know the answer to the question that OP's trying to ask, don't answer for the sake that this might prevent an attempt to hack a website. Illegal sportsbook are a thing but I haven't heard of any online ones, most of them are doing books physically, most of them operate on an individual level and in my opinion, it makes them a target for people that are trying bust illegal gambling operation, you can do this illegally at a small scale but it's not advisable to this thing when you're trying to make it big, more money means more problems for you and in this particular case, it's a problem that you don't want to risk your life away, the money in illegal thing isn't worth it anyway.

There are ways to avoid such questions in the future and not put yourself into lots of related questions.

Just stick with famous and reputable bookies from now on. It might not be an assurance that you are 100% safe even using famous bookies but at least you will minimize the chance of being scammed by these sites as they are registered and centralized.

I wondered why there are users who still end up in illegal bookies despite several famous bookies today.
