Personally, it is completely not ideal to leave funds on the casino, anything can happen and the funds will be lost even with 2fa active on the account.
We've seen a case on this forum where a user left over $200,000 on his gambling account, He has 2fa activated and felt he was safe enough, but unfortunately, his account was hacked and the money stolen, the hacker probably gained access to his email account as well, and with that, he was able to deactivate the 2fa, then he registers another account on the same casino and used the internal transfer feature to transfer the money to the new account, and from there, he withdraw it out of the casino..

I think this case is probably an internal job. There is no way the 2fa can be disabled by just gaining access to an email. There is a need to undergo 2fa verification before our 2fa can be disabled. If the hacker had gained access to the 2fa then it is possible to deactivate the 2fa security, if it is just email access then there is no way to disable the 2fa even if the hacker submitted a request to disable 2fa, it still needs to verify himself or do KYC for security purposes.

Best practice is to never leave tangible funds on the casino, even if 2fa is activated.

Same here, I also believe that we must not leave our funds idle in any centralized services. If it is not in use, we should withdraw it and keep it in our non-custodial wallet.

This case is very specific, but I have heard of different cases where you cannot leave the money funds because some casinos, if they do not go to them, can lose the money, something like that if they do not have activity, they suspend the account and obviously, they keep the money that was there, I saw that in a thread here on bitcointalk, which I thought was in very bad taste, because it makes no sense to do something like that, I know that when money is left on a platform, that money no longer It is our fate of the site, but even with all that they must respect that sense of belonging , I see it as something very legal.

Not only casinos but also some exchanges confiscate funds when an account is idle for some time. I had this experience in an exchange when I left my fund there and got inactive for more than a year. When I came back I found my funds missing and my balance was reduced to 0.
