Cybercrime and the gaming industry

As gaming activity has increased and evolved, so has the value of disrupting it through cyber-attacks. Over the last 24 months there has been a massive jump in technology across the entire global gaming industry. This unparalleled technology acceleration, an authentic leap forward, has changed gaming dramatically.
The popularity of online casinos has grown over the years as advanced technology continues to reach new heights. Currently, the online gambling market is valued at over $59 billion and is predicted to be worth $92.9 billion by 2023. Online casinos capitalize greatly on the internet’s global acceptance, and while it has led to much growth, there remains one big challenge to address: CYBERCRIME.
Online gambling poses specific risks to the heavily regulated and protected gaming industry, but battling these threats also represents the next step in gambling’s development. Undoubtedly, online gambling is entertaining, as long as your information and money is protected.

Whether online or in physical casinos, an operator’s goal is to always to give the clients what they want. Aside from providing a high level of customer service, fine dining, rewards programs and incentives, the primary motivation is to provide the best gaming entertainment while also protecting the casino’s operation and, of course, the player’s data and money. In 2022, players are not only engaging one another in multiplayer gameplay dynamics, but also interacting via chat apps and video chat. This generates the feeling of being in an actual casino from the comfort and familiarity of a player’s home. As a result of this online activity, the industry has experienced a significant increase in cyber vulnerabilities.
It’s estimated that more than 60 million Americans have fallen victim to at least one scam – a staggering figure. Europeans will reach similar numbers by 2024.

Crypto Currency

A major increase in cyber-attacks recently has been generated through the high usage of crypto currency. Crypto brought anonymity to the gambling world and it is virtually untraceable, because personal information is not tied to the digital currency. This has allowed many players from around the world to access and play in online gambling games in regions that were originally restricted and outlawed. This has also led to a rise in online gambling sites in places that have banned physical casinos.
For example, a country like Taiwan or a region like the Middle East, with strict regulations, is now seeing a rapid growth of online gambling sites which take cryptocurrencies as a mode of payment. Sites engage players to peruse and enjoy gaming through a variety of online casinos that accept Bitcoin. This demand will continue to grow over the next few years as online casinos become more confident in promoting game play with crypto.
Tapping this under-served market is now a primary concern because of the large volume of potential revenue that can be taken from these markets. Current trends, increasing because of low regulatory conformity and lack of cyber risk awareness, create vulnerabilities to the overall industry. At worst, it could eventually corrupt worldwide gaming activities as cyber incidents spread easily at a rate that cannot be matched by human vigilance.
Cyber-criminals know there is value in gaming and they will continue to invent ways of infiltrating systems or exploiting the flow of virtual funds.

At BIG Cyber we blend an unparalleled level of diverse expertise in practical cyber security, with a unique understanding of the gambling sector.
BIG Cyber is powered by the BMM Innovation Group of Companies. We have exceptional understanding of the regulatory environment across worldwide jurisdictions and work with the latest technology available within the cyber security sector.
