Online Casino Scam
Society is made of a mix of good and evil. Opportunities bring with it people who are willing to cheat and steal to rip off other people and institutions. A perfect example of this is online casinos which have grown exponentially over time. It is a billion dollar industry and scams have cost some casinos over $1 million.
This is how one such scam was carried out:
A team of hackers, on an August night managed to go through the security systems of a leading online casino. This is popular casino had been online for years before that.
The hackers then rigged the casinos systems hoping to win huge amounts unnoticed. They manipulated the software in a way to make payout for slots come out as doubles on each spin. This was also done for each craps throw. The problem with this is that other innocent players games were affected. They also won these huge payouts.
The hackers then rigged the specific games with the help of other players who were accomplices in the scam. This team could play the craps game and the slots, winning unbelievably.
In a few hours $1.9 million was gone-taken by hackers and players alike. The casino team alerted players and with the help of their security team repaired the damage done to the games. A comprehensive investigation was conducted and the hackers found out. The players, 140 of them, were allowed to keep their winnings by the company.
The casino was regarded, going by these events, as having an admirable sense of fairplay, with no complaints from other players even nowadays not dealt with.
Despite the many scams and online frauds on online casinos very few reach the level that was witnessed that August at this casino. Having gone on to become one of the top online casinos, Intercasino have very secure systems in place.
