Regulating the Game announces keynote on hacking and securing online betting platforms by Jamieson O’Reilly

Gambling law and regulation conference Regulating the Game announced that Jamieson O'Reilly, CEO and Lead Hacker at Dvuln, will deliver a keynote titled Oceans 11 Down Under: Hacking and Securing Online Betting Platforms" at the 2025 edition of the conference in Sydney.

In his keynote, O’Reilly will reveal insights into how online betting platforms are targeted by cyber adversaries, exposing critical vulnerabilities that even the most secure digital ecosystems must address.

"Online betting platforms operate as highly complex, interconnected systems, which makes them both lucrative and vulnerable," said O’Reilly. "It’s easy to imagine these platforms as impenetrable digital fortresses, but the reality is that their complexity introduces security risks at every level."

O’Reilly’s keynote will delve into advanced hacking techniques, including time-travel attacks and unorthodox exploitation of affiliate programs, demonstrating how attackers can exploit weaknesses in payment systems, backend operations, and customer databases. His session will also provide a roadmap for defending against these risks by building robust, attacker-aware security strategies.

"Jamieson’s unparalleled experience in ethical hacking and offensive security makes his keynote a cornerstone of this year’s conference," said Paul Newson, event organizer and Principal at Vanguard Overwatch. "His insights into online betting platform vulnerabilities and defenses are essential for any organization looking to thrive in today’s digitally connected gaming landscape."
