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.”

ThrillTech secures UK licence, unveils unique jackpot solution to regulated UK operators

Leading jackpot specialist ThrillTech is excited to announce it has secured a remote operating licence from the UK Gambling Commission.
The UK licence, widely considered the gold standard of European gambling regulation, is the latest award in ThrillTech’s commitment to compliance across the region.
The UKGC remote gambling software licence will be added to the company’s long list of European licences alongside Sweden, Romania, Malta and The Netherlands. The UK licence award also follows the recent granting of ThrillTech’s ISO 27001 certification.
ThrillTech’s groundbreaking jackpot solution, ThrillPots, is now available to UK operators, who can take advantage of the additional monetisation stream to boost GGR by up to 10%.
ThrillTech head of business development Faye Williams said: “The UK is a major market for us and we can’t wait to partner with local operators to launch bespoke jackpots in this region. The first ones are already on the way.
“As our main proposition is player-funded jackpots, we are always keen to stay ahead of the regulatory curve, while adhering to the gold standard of iGaming industry compliance.”
For example, ThrillTech developed a bespoke version of its proprietary jackpot algorithm to meet the UK market’s age-gaited stake limits for online slots, which came into force in April.
The company has also created a truly advanced multi-currency system, while linked jackpots are the latest additions to the ThrillTech feature portfolio.
“Innovation can never stop,” said Williams. “Following this latest licence award, we promise to keep pushing the limits of product performance. ThrillTech was built for the next stage of the iGaming industry.”
ThrillTech will announce its first two UK clients in the coming weeks.
ThrillTech’s ambitious expansion strategy hopes to see the company licensed in 10 global jurisdictions by the end of the year, with multiple certificates in additional markets.
Founded just two years ago, Cyprus-headquartered ThrillTech has gone from strength to strength, improving the player experience by building on its core work of monetisation and retention.
