Cyprus National Betting Authority licensing already requires secure hosting, transaction integrity, accurate geolocation and player-fund protection, and technical certification labs such as eCOGRA, GLI and BMM test game fairness and RNG integrity as part of that. What they do not do is adversarial security testing — probing the platform, payment flows and account logic the way a real attacker or fraudster would, on an ongoing basis rather than as a one-off certification event.
That is the gap we fill: manual, exploit-led testing of the systems that actually move player money and hold player data.
We test the betting or casino platform and its wallet end to end, account and session security where account takeover is the highest-value target, bonus and promotion logic where the real fraud losses in this industry concentrate, payment gateway integrations, and the admin and back-office panel that operates everything behind the scenes.
Why it matters
iGaming platforms combine real-time money movement with large volumes of payment and KYC data behind a licence that can be put at risk by a serious breach. In practice, the financial damage rarely comes from an exotic infrastructure hack — it comes from bonus and promotion abuse or account takeover, patterns that a generic web application scan is not built to find because they exploit business logic, not textbook vulnerabilities.
What we test
- Betting / casino platform & wallet penetration testing
- Account takeover & session-security testing
- Bonus, promotion & loyalty-point abuse testing
- Payment gateway & transaction integrity testing
- KYC/AML data exposure & access-control review
- Admin / back-office panel penetration testing
Common vulnerabilities we uncover
- Business-logic flaws enabling bonus or promotion abuse
- Weak session handling enabling account takeover
- Payment gateway integrations with insufficient validation
- Excessive KYC/AML data exposure to internal or third-party systems
- Under-protected admin and back-office panels
- Geolocation or data-localisation controls that can be bypassed
How we run your engagement
- Kick-off & scoping. A short call to agree goals, in-scope assets and rules of engagement, so your igaming & online casino penetration testing is safe, authorised and aimed at your real business risk.
- Mapping & discovery. Before touching anything we map the full attack surface in scope, so nothing exploitable slips through.
- Hands-on testing. Cyprus-based specialists exploit and chain weaknesses manually — the flaws scanners walk straight past — to show genuine impact.
- Reporting. Each issue is verified, CVSS-rated and documented with a step-by-step reproduction and a practical fix your team can apply.
- Free retest. Once you have remediated, we re-test at no extra cost to confirm the attack path is truly closed.
Tools & techniques
We manually test wallet and payment flows for validation and integrity gaps, probe bonus and promotion logic for abuse paths, and test session handling and account recovery for takeover risk — the three areas where real financial loss actually concentrates in this industry. KYC/AML data handling and the admin back-office panel are tested alongside the player-facing platform, since they typically hold the most sensitive data and the highest-privilege access in the whole system.

What you gain
By the end of your igaming & online casino penetration testing, you will know exactly which weaknesses a real attacker could exploit, what it would cost your business, and the precise order in which to fix them — backed by evidence, not a scanner’s guesswork. Cyprus firms use our findings to close critical gaps, satisfy client and regulator security questionnaires, and demonstrate due diligence for GDPR and NIS2. With a free retest included, you also get documented proof the issues are resolved.
Working with us
Every igaming & online casino penetration testing begins with a short, no-obligation scoping call to understand your goals, environment and constraints, followed by a fixed-price proposal. Most work is delivered remotely, and because we are based in Cyprus we work in your timezone with on-site visits across Limassol, Nicosia and island-wide where it helps. We keep you updated throughout and flag any critical finding immediately rather than waiting for the report. Everything is covered by a signed NDA and safe, non-disruptive testing that protects your production systems. You receive your report, a walkthrough and a complimentary retest once fixes land. Engagements are typically booked one to three weeks ahead, and urgent testing can often be arranged — just email hi@cypruspentest.com.

Frequently asked questions
Does NBA licensing already cover this through certification?
Certification labs such as eCOGRA, GLI and BMM test game fairness and RNG integrity, not adversarial security. A penetration test covers the attack surface those certifications do not — account security, payment flows and business logic.
What is the biggest real-world risk for iGaming platforms?
In practice, bonus and promotion abuse and account takeover cause more real financial loss than infrastructure hacking, so we weight testing effort accordingly rather than only chasing textbook web vulnerabilities.
Do you test payment and wallet integrations?
Yes, including transaction integrity, validation logic, and how the platform handles failed or manipulated payment flows.
How often should we test?
At least annually and after any significant platform, payment or game-provider integration change — more frequently if your licence conditions or insurer require it.
