The four things that matter most
Account takeovers on gambling sites overwhelmingly come from reused passwords and phishing, not from platform breaches. Four habits remove most of that risk.
- Enable two factor authentication and store the recovery codes offline.
- Use a unique password generated by a password manager.
- Type or bookmark the domain instead of following links from chat or email.
- Never share credentials, codes or screen access with anyone offering help or bonuses.
Recognising phishing
Phishing sites copy the login screen exactly and rely on urgency: a bonus expiring, a locked account, a support agent asking to confirm a code. A legitimate support process never needs your password or your two factor code.
Frequently asked questions
- Is SMS two factor authentication enough?
- An authenticator app is stronger than SMS because it is not exposed to SIM swap attacks.
