iGaming & real-money platforms

Security built for where the money moves.

Real-time bets, player wallets, provider integrations, settlement engines, bonus mechanics and gaming floors each bring their own attack surface. Seven areas we test, monitor and defend.

01Advanced web application & API penetration testing

Betting transaction manipulation & player wallet integrity

The most financially sensitive surface: where betting APIs, player wallets and settlement meet. We have found IDOR and authorisation flaws that could let an attacker change bet values.

  • ✓Bet placement integrity: stake, odds and IDs tampered between front end and back end
  • ✓Wallet-to-bet consistency across debit, placement and settlement
  • ✓Race conditions on simultaneous bets or withdrawals
  • ✓Replay of cancelled, rejected or settled bets
  • ✓Cross-account access via player or transaction IDs
Impact & ROI Every bet settles exactly as placed. Protects: GGR · payouts · settlement
Without it: Unauthorised balance changes, fraudulent payouts, settlement gaps.
02API penetration testing & gaming integration assessments

Game aggregator, RGS & wallet integrations

Multi-provider casinos run on trust between operator, aggregator, game provider and wallet. We test every link.

  • ✓Game session tokens, player IDs and launch parameters
  • ✓Debit/credit callbacks: replayed, forged, duplicated or modified
  • ✓Idempotency of settlement and payout callbacks
  • ✓Unfinished, cancelled or rolled-back rounds
  • ✓API signing, HMAC and callback authentication
  • ✓Provider-side vs operator-side wallet reconciliation
Impact & ROI One callback. One credit. Always. Protects: Wallet balances · provider trust
Without it: Duplicate payouts, unauthorised credits, provider disputes.
03Sportsbook business logic & API testing

Sportsbook odds, bet acceptance & settlement

Fast-moving odds, live markets and delayed feeds create timing gaps attackers exploit.

  • ✓Bets accepted on stale or manipulated odds
  • ✓Live-betting race conditions between odds updates and acceptance
  • ✓Client-side influence on winnings or limits
  • ✓Unauthorised settlement and admin APIs
  • ✓Duplicate-request and cash-out manipulation
Impact & ROI Margins protected at live-betting speed. Protects: Sportsbook margin · bet integrity
Without it: Incorrect payouts, stale-odds exploitation, lost margin.
04Business logic & fraud-oriented testing

Bonus engine, free spins & promo abuse

Bonus engines touch wallets, wagering rules and game eligibility, which makes them a prime target.

  • ✓Repeated redemption of welcome bonuses, codes or free spins
  • ✓Wagering requirements bypassed via sequencing or API tampering
  • ✓Bonus-to-real-money conversion errors
  • ✓Deposit-bonus activation and cancellation abuse
  • ✓Eligibility, restriction and limit manipulation
Impact & ROI Promo budget spent on players, not abusers. Protects: Marketing ROI · withdrawals
Without it: Promo budget losses, fraudulent withdrawals, abuse at scale.
05Incident response, forensics & 24/7 SOC/MDR

Ransomware on land-based casino infrastructure

We have investigated ransomware on VMware ESXi estates running physical casino operations, including vendor-managed gaming servers.

  • ✓Forensics on compromised ESXi hosts and gaming servers
  • ✓Vendor remote-access paths and privileged accounts
  • ✓Lateral movement between casino IT and gaming systems
  • ✓Ransomware execution paths and affected VMs
  • ✓Coordinated containment and recovery with gaming vendors
  • ✓Hardening and monitoring of virtualisation
Impact & ROI Gaming floor back online. Attacker out. Protects: Floor revenue · uptime
Without it: Gaming floor outages, lost revenue, long vendor-dependent recovery.
06AWS penetration testing, architecture review & SOC integration

AWS-hosted gaming & transaction platforms

Cloud-native platforms run authentication, betting APIs, wallets and provider integrations on AWS.

  • ✓IAM privilege escalation into wallets and production
  • ✓EKS and container isolation between microservices
  • ✓API Gateway authorisation for betting and financial APIs
  • ✓Replayed or forged SQS/EventBridge events in settlement
  • ✓RDS access to player and transaction data
  • ✓CloudTrail and GuardDuty feeding 24/7 detection
Impact & ROI Your cloud wallet stack, locked to least privilege. Protects: Player data · transaction infra
Without it: Access to financial infrastructure, data exposure, large-scale loss.
07Internal pentesting, threat hunting & MDR

Third-party provider access & segmentation

Slot, CMS and gaming vendors often hold persistent, privileged remote access to production.

  • ✓Third-party VPN, RDP and privileged access
  • ✓Segmentation between gaming, corporate IT and virtualisation
  • ✓Detection of unauthorised admin activity on vendor systems
  • ✓Lateral movement paths across casino infrastructure
  • ✓Credential abuse and suspicious maintenance sessions
Impact & ROI Vendors get access. Attackers don’t. Protects: Gaming infrastructure · uptime
Without it: Compromise through trusted vendors, multi-system outages.
Business value

In iGaming, security is a line on the P&L.

A flaw in a wallet API means unauthorised payouts. A weak provider callback breaks transaction integrity. A compromised settlement flow creates reconciliation gaps. Ransomware on gaming infrastructure stops revenue on the spot.

For operators processing millions of euros a day, vulnerabilities are not technical findings. They are direct exposure to GGR, uptime, financial integrity and player trust.

OT & critical infrastructure

Full visibility, even where agents can’t run.

Gaming floors, payment terminals and industrial systems run legacy switches, uncommon protocols and one-way links. Our SOC sees all of it without touching production traffic.

Open XDR security operations

  • ✓One repository for OT, endpoint, network, cloud and log data, replacing legacy SIEM
  • ✓Machine-learning detection that correlates alerts across every source
  • ✓Network sensors at the edge, including OT environments
  • ✓Automated and analyst-led response in real time

Packet-level network visibility

  • ✓Network TAPs for 100% packet visibility, north-south and east-west
  • ✓Packet brokers that aggregate, filter, load-balance and de-duplicate
  • ✓Inline bypass TAPs for new tools without downtime
  • ✓Data diodes for strict one-way segmentation

What you get

  • ✓Less breach risk through complete visibility
  • ✓Shorter attacker dwell time
  • ✓More output per analyst
  • ✓Better ROI on your existing IT and OT stack
  • ✓No hardware subscription fees

Governance · Managed AI oversight

One gate for all your internal AI.

A governed AI layer over your documents, data and processes. It understands the question, searches only what the user is allowed to see, and returns an answer with sources and a next step. Not a chatbot: a standard for answers that hold up to management, compliance and audit.

Experimenting with AI is not the same as using AI in the business. Without a standard, every team builds its own, IT loses control and the risk of wrong decisions grows.

Scattered knowledgeLocked in SharePoint, ERP, DMS, email and BI. People search too long, often in the wrong version.
Uncontrolled AIEvery app wants its own AI: different access rules, no shared logging, unclear data use in external clouds.
Regulation & confidentialityGDPR, trade secrets, need-to-know. AI may only run where every access is traceable and provable.
Decisions without evidenceAnswers differ between teams. Under time pressure or before an audit, nobody can find the verified basis.
How it works
01Understands intentTurns the question into a targeted search of permitted sources.
02Respects permissionsUses only content the user can already open in the source system.
03Finds & summarisesHybrid semantic + keyword search with metadata filters.
04Answers with sourcesEvery answer cites the documents and recommends a next step.
05Logs everythingWho, when, what, which sources, which model. Audit-ready.
