Scenario: An online UK based casino. You stumbled upon a way to generate comp points at will without risking or wagering any money. Basically on a specific game in a specific way you place chips on table and cancel bet before game starts but are awarded comp points. Obviously unintended game mechanic and a bug. Comp points can be exchanged for cash at a rate of around £500/day. Would you exploit bug or would you worry about being prosecuted with fraud?

theoretically speaking would this theoretical casino bug be explained in my dms
 
Don't do it or you could get into trouble. If you prefer to take the risk, do it with a low profile. Less than those 500/day. Play and lose some of the money, make withdrawals every few days, not daily, etc. Good luck.

Everyone's so sceptical, I got this in another forum. Not selling anything, wont answer dms or send them. Would like to know peoples opinions about the legal risk here tho

Claim the money, use it on the website. take out the winning. Keep the claimed money there.
 
Would they see a pattern if you cancel the bet, get the comps, bet a bit, make a profit and repeat regularly?

Looks like you are gaming the system (pun intended) and seems a bit risky....

I like the idea mentioned above about proof of concept and reporting it for a bounty
 
I wouldn't...

Now to answer your question...

Honestly, it seems too simple for any Casino online not to see such an error in their system.

Maybe I understand differently, or maybe I didn't understand you well, but in my opinion, I think that with some luck on your side, you will be able to withdraw up to 2, or 3 times the money before they catch you.

It's a dang casino, of course, there are loopholes in the system, but they don't last long.

Try it and let us know ;)

Oh yeah, one look at the account and its seen
 
Use to do it before, just be sure to stay anonymous and think about good ways to be safe.
Then, once you're sure you're 100% ready and that they can't find you back, enjoy

Not worth it then imo

They'll come down on you like a tonne of bricks - It is fraud at the end of the day

Check out their T&C's and see what they say on bugs. bounties etc - pretty sure they will have bugs covered - you pay back what you won etc

As I understand it, the issue lies in the fact that when placing bets, you receive some sort of reward points, and when placing a bet in a specific game, you can cancel the bet, but due to the mentioned bug, you still receive the points. These points can then be exchanged for cash rewards. Please correct me if I've misunderstood, author of the thread.

I agree with you on what you're saying, that this is something that might be quickly detected, but the question is: what if it isn't?

If instead of making small deposits, you repeatedly make plays and withdraw the winnings (the obvious path), you make larger deposits, smaller withdrawals, normal plays in different games, intentionally lose money someday, etc. How long would it take for them to notice? Perhaps it would be more profitable to earn 50-100 every 1 or 2 days and make it last longer, than to blow it up and have them patch it in a week.
 
Check if the bug bounty is higher. If they give you 50K for this bug it's probably more than what you can withdraw until they catch you.

I was just going to write that, as a third option.

I agree with you.

This is even the best option... In the long run, with the covering up of evidence, well, let it last while it lasts.

If @lfgPeople can do this, to play smart and hide those parts, who knows, anything is possible.

I believe that there are people in the world who live from this, you find a loophole in the system and play smart.

I would not be able to do that, but considering what the Casino is doing, how they are deceiving the people, and how much money there is, how many people suffer, families, the whole society... Why not...

I was looking at a few T&C's and it is very clear this comes under "7.1.10 Bonus or promotional abuse;" (courtesy of Coral)

So, at best you pay the money back, account is closed and you walk away or at worst they prosecute - which would be unlikely if it was a small amount....

And you will probably be blacklisted as well - pretty sure these bookies and casino's share your details with each other
 
I bet the site owners will pay you handsomely if you report their bug.
