This is one of the risk for bugs hunter because the site offers to anyone "first come, first served".
The offers is not exclusive only for you, and usually any sites will collecting bugs they found first before they release a new patch to fix them all together.

So maybe they already found the bugs before you reported it, or maybe someone already reported it first. Public will not know about it, only the staff and devs on that website.
Well if you feel that you have been scam by that website, I suggest to bring this thread to the scam accusation section, not here on the gambling section.

There's nothing on the communication that says that they are not rewarding you although 48 hours is what you think is enough time to get a proper response since you posted it here I'm sure they are now aware of it and will respond, it is not yet time to move it in the scam accusation unless they deny you of your reward even though because of your report they have patched the bug.

Have you followed the flow of communication when it comes to bug bounty report

I think you posted this too early.

Most times bug findings involves these risks of you not being paid with the claim of the casino that you likely arrived late but I see the bug you were able to find is very crucial one and as such they should accord you some audience and rewards. No one can tell why they have not responded to your bug hunt but I would advise you be patient a little  with them and see how they handle the situation.

I will advise you move this thread to reputation board as it does not belong here if I am not mistaken. I believe sending it there would also attract more reputable members to look into it and help you resolve your predicament with the casino.

A total of 4 bugs were found. The first report was made about six months ago and then I was denied a bounty, citing that the bug had already been closed before my report.
Bug was with a bonus for registering 100 free spins, which allowed, after spinning the free spins, to receive bonus money to the main account and you could immediately withdraw it, with certain manipulations.

What does it mean that the bug was closed? Was it there when you reported it? I'm asking because if it was reported by someone else, but not fixed before you reported it, they should at the very least give you some small reward, like a casino bonus, free spins, or something like that.

What if all companies that put a bounty on bugs acted like this? Each time someone reported a bug they'd say that it's too late because they found it themselves, thank you for your service you sucker.


Oh really? So we're going to treat it like standard practice?

It do really sucks on such case on which there's no way on knowing that they are really that indeed truthfully telling whether its been already discovered by someone or simply making out some alibi just because they dont really like to pay up the bounty reward on someone who had discovered. Somewhat there are really those exploits or bugs which are worth to be paid off with some bounty and there are ones which are really that very minimal or something  not really that worth on getting some rewards but to those people who are really that optimistic about  getting it then they would really be having that kind of self entitling that they are really that worth on getting paid up even if its not really that right anymore. Im not really that a technical guy who do really knows on whats the real negotiations or set up about bounty  about on bugs but basing up on common sense on which on the said bugs that been mentioned then it would really be just that ethical that they would really be that needing to reward someone who do discover some serious bug which it could be possibly be exploited and could really be that abused which in result into huge effect into their revenue. They should at least showing up some rightful act if its worth to be given some bounty or not, or not really just
that simply trying out to ignore basing up on whats been discovered.

Truly some casinos do act up whenever they do not want to pay up for bug discovered by their users. Maybe a minor bug which can be understandable but at least there are some bugs that seems threatening to the casino that to should be rewarded whether there is a bug bounty or not, those users who discovered them should be appreciated and rewarded because what they have done have saved such casino the unforseen danger they could have encountered in the nearest future but have been averted by a good Samaritan who has the casino at heart.
The idea of rewarding bug finders should not be swept under the carpet because those bugs discovered could have been loopholes by hackers to make their ways into the entire system to commit their crime.

In all, bug hunters or finders should be appreciated and rewarded for their work because what they do is not as easy as one of thinks it is.

How many days pass since you made this report? If they are ignoring you for couple of weeks with no sign that you will be take care of after those report then maybe they are start avoiding.

But if it just take for couple of days then try to give them sometime to review if they find your report a serious matter since it may take time for them to review your report so much better to wait an update coming from them. Also this post is not meant to be posted here so maybe I guess this belong to reputation thread and after they are not totally responding and didn't give your bounty then maybe this belong to scam accusation.

Well, to be honest, I'm thinking of opening a thread to present my case on Betfury, I have more than 500 Referrals that generated $150-$200 quickly in referral earnings and now I earn $0. Betfury not only changed the reward for referrals but also altered the results to NOT PAY.

Either that or everyone stopped using BetFury since BC.GAME has gained all the ground by paying for everything and nothing. Long live bc.game.

Why did they ask for how the bug was found then if they already had done it themselves? Wouldn't they emailed OP that they've already found it and that they were sorry that OP was too late for the report? But in the screenshots of the email, there seems to be no indication that they got to it first or that someone got to it first also your assumption that there's a lot of bug hunter for Betfury isn't absolutely right, what if that's how a lot of other bug hunters think that they didn't bother trying to hunt for Betfury which ends up with Betfury having less hunters than expected.

This is not a scam related issue, take it as a lesson and move on, this is one of the difficulties that bounty hunters used to face.

Firstly, know that you are not the only bounty hunter chasing the bounty, and they have their rules that it's first come first served, if you want to be a successful bounty hunter you need to work harder and faster, to beat other bounty hunters at their time.

I have a friend who is also a bounty hunter who likes finding bugs for companies and projects, he have to join multiple bounties before one or two pay him what he deserved, most times they always fail or some other lucky bounty hunger beat him to the prize with time.

Some platforms are well organized, they always give reasons why they may not pay up even if you find a bug and they will give details on how many bug finders they will pay, so even if 20 hunters are on this maybe only 3 will be selected, this is one of it's disadvantage.

What I believe that Betfury may have some wrong is keeping it to themselves after someone already found a bug, they should have a email alert in place that will notify all the bounty hunters and they will stop working on their bug finding journey.
