In Wake of Stake.com Hack, Cloudbet Reiterates Importance of Security Across Industry

Crypto betting pioneer Cloudbet urges companies across the industry to continue to revisit all protocols in the wake of Stake’s loss of $41M to an apparent hack.
“In many ways, an attack on one is an attack on all, and this industry only thrives if our users know with all possible certainty that their funds are safe and secure,” a Cloudbet spokesperson said. “This incident is a reminder that the industry must continuously put in place the most robust security protocols possible.”
Since its launch in 2013, Cloudbet has been at the forefront of security in the crypto gaming industry. In that time, the operator has securely processed hundreds of millions of transactions, and many of Cloudbet’s security measures have since become standard practice industry-wide.
Cloudbet’s Multi-Layered Security Architecture
Cloudbet security is built on a multi-layer system of safeguards underpinned by hot and cold wallet storage, multi-signature approvals, and multi-party computation (MPC), along with various added measures to protect player funds:
- Cold storage of all customer funds.
- Multi-party computation (MPC) wallets.
- Multi-signature approvals on all fund transactions.
- Additional layers of approval and two-factor authentication (2FA) for larger transactions.
- Highly secure, physically distributed management of private keys and recovery codes.
- Sophisticated circuit-breaker protocols based on real-time reconciliation of withdrawals with product accounts.
In addition, every quarter, Cloudbet conducts internal fire drills to strategize, practice contingency plans, and update those plans to keep ahead of the latest industry security standards.
“While incidents like Stake’s are rare, we must all remain vigilant to maintain the trust that users have been placing in us on a daily basis for the last 10 years,” the Cloudbet spokesperson said.
“We are firm believers that crypto is pioneering an exciting new world of financial freedom, and that gaming and betting can help lead that effort. But we also believe that in order for us to realize that world, we have to put security at the front line of crypto. No matter how flashy and glamorous the Premier League is, players aren’t safe to play without some very serious on-field security.”

Step into Pip O’Spin’s world of rainbows, golden rewards, and mischievous magic
Stakelogic has unveiled its latest enchanted adventure, Leprechaun’s Loot, where Irish folklore meets inventive mechanics. Starring Pip O’Spin, a cheeky leprechaun from the emerald hills with a gift for turning rainbows into gold, the game combines playful storytelling with exciting Hold ‘N’ Win action.
With 243 Pay Ways, players begin on a 5×3 grid where Rainbow symbols can be boosted into Golden Rainbows, instantly increasing their value. Rainbow Collects deliver instant wins when a Collect symbol lands on reel five, while Lucky Respins give players a chance to trigger the Bonus. Players can also activate Super Stake to double the likelihood of entering Free Spins or buy directly into the Hold ‘N’ Win feature for 100x their bet.
Once inside the Hold ‘N’ Win Bonus, the real magic begins. Here, Rainbow and Golden Rainbow symbols lock in place while modifiers add layers of excitement.
Expand symbols can unlock additional rows up to a full 5×5 grid, while Double symbols fill a meter that, when charged, doubles all Rainbow values before resetting. Golden Rainbows persist throughout the round, transferring and stacking their value onto other symbols creating a steady stream of treasure.
With high volatility and a max multiplier of x5,000, Leprechaun’s Loot balances whimsical charm with serious win potential.
James Jelliffe, Head of Slots at Stakelogic, said: “With Leprechaun’s Loot, we wanted to create a slot where every feature feeds into the next, building momentum and excitement spin by spin. The Hold ‘N’ Win round really comes alive as modifiers stack, the grid expands, and Golden Rainbows keep values climbing. This release delivers layers of gameplay that will keep players engaged, entertained and wanting to come back for more.”
Leprechaun’s Loot will be available to operators and players from 9 October 2025.
