There had been quite a number of Vulnerabilities in gambling websites since 2011 from satoshi dice to primedice and a lot more.

What was the total number of exploits and which ones were the lethal ones, I think that hufflepuff guy on primedice did the most damage.
The exploit was called something like "Race time condition" and I read something similar in my CS class but it was related to a banking system so it could be different.

Basically, it was giving multiple inputs to the system trying to get some response from the system in 2 places, and then exploiting the system.

Also, Is there any list for me to check regarding exploits? I'm thinking about developing something so it may come handy.
There are still existing vulnerabilities in gambling websites till this day, but I believe they are not as notorious like before and many are just seldom occurring and are workable to be fixed immediately. Although, one thing I observed to be happening frequently than the others is the issues with regards to the security .
Security had been the major concern of all most all the gambling platforms cause this is a vital expect which need to be protected by all miss or expect the attack of hackers and scammers. Although major efforts had always been put on making this thing works which is to prevent the activities of farmers, creating multiple accounts tobe entitled to more bonuses that can be withdrawn later.
First, to prevent account farming is one of the reasons why most gambling sites request their customers to pass kyc verification I believe.
And secondly, most gambling sites I know don't even do welcome bonus anymore, the bonus mostly common now are maybe promotions or the bonus which one gets after a certain progress bar is filled(I've forgotten what it's called) and this requires the user to have wagered a reasonable amount of money.
This, I also believe is another measure to or that prevent account farming cus I see no reason why one would risk huge amounts of money on account farming for a mere bonus that makes no sense at the end of the day.
