Gamdom hacked: just over $3m lost, back online after two days

On 13 October 2026 an attacker took money from Gamdom’s hot wallets, the online wallets a casino pays withdrawals from. Gamdom took its whole site offline that evening and came back on 16 October, after more than two days. Its founder, Felix Romer, put the loss at “just over $3m”, and Gamdom said user funds were safe. Below: the timeline from Gamdom’s own posts, the figures, and what Gamdom still hasn’t said.

What happened, day by day

• 13 October, about 15:50–16:50 UTC. More than $2.3 million left Gamdom’s hot wallets on Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Tron and the XRP Ledger. On each chain the money went to a single wallet, and at least four of the five had never been used before, FairGambling found on the blockchain.
• 13 October, 18:45 UTC. Gamdom on X: “We’re currently offline, will be back up and running soon.”
• 14 October, 03:37 UTC. Gamdom said that about 24 hours earlier it had detected “a potential disk failure on one of our servers”, then found an unauthorised connection on one of its automation servers and took all its systems offline as a precaution. “User funds are safe,” it wrote.
• 14 October, 16:44 UTC. Felix Romer on X: “we noticed a breach attacking our hot wallet system & we took measures to stop the drain, in total we lost just over $3m to the breach”. He said Gamdom was preparing to come back, which would take a couple of hours.
• 15 October, 07:27 UTC. Romer: “Still taking some more time to bring it all back.”
• 16 October. Gamdom was back online, at 00:34 UTC according to FairGambling.

How much was taken

Gamdom’s founder put the loss at just over $3 million. The blockchain researcher vxdb counted about $4.2 million leaving Gamdom’s wallets: $2.2 million on Ethereum-compatible networks, $965,000 on Solana, $668,000 in bitcoin and $375,000 on Tron. Gamdom hasn’t explained the gap, and not every transfer on a blockchain is a loss: a casino also moves money between its own wallets. FairGambling’s tracker showed about $10.5 million in Gamdom’s hot wallets on 12 October and about $76,000 a day later. Romer said the rest was moved to cold storage, wallets kept offline.

What Gamdom hasn’t said

• How the attacker got in, beyond the unauthorised connection on an automation server, and what that server could reach.
• Whether any player data was exposed.
• Why its figure and the on-chain count differ.
• Who the attacker is: no one has been named.

We found no full report on the breach from Gamdom by 24 October.

What it means if you play at Gamdom

Gamdom says user funds are safe. The reports we read mention no player who lost a balance, but no one has checked this independently. For more than two days, though, nobody could play, deposit or withdraw. A hack can do that at any crypto casino, so keep only what you are playing with on a casino balance.

When it came back, Gamdom announced relaunch offers, FairGambling reported: a 20% deposit bonus for existing players, its reload bonuses switched back on, a $45,000 daily leaderboard and a second $45,000 daily competition for the relaunch week. We haven’t checked which of them are still running.

Our Gamdom code is dake. Gamdom’s help centre says any affiliate code raises your instant rakeback to 15% for your first 7 days, if you activate it within 6 hours of signing up, and it still said so when we read it on 21 October, after the relaunch. The Gamdom promo code page has the steps and the countries where Gamdom isn’t available.
