BetOnline Attacked Again?

[TravG]

I read somewhere that BetOnline experienced DDOS attacks over the weekend and was just wondering if anyone knew if this was still going on. I havent been able to access the homepage at all today. Not good for new signups...

Could it be the U.S. government?

[TravG]

It better not be. We have bigger issues in this country than online gambling. You can buy all the assault riffles you want but cant play blackjack online? We need to stop spending resources on things like combating online gaming and do a better job protecting our children.

It's down at the moment 3 pm, Friday, 9 March 2018 Eastern Time (ET).

Schools are actually safer now than they were 20 years ago. Don't believe the hype.

Now, are you asking about betonline.ag?

[Malikbhai]

Betonline.ag has been down for nearly two hours now.

They could be shifting data centers and/or IPs.

Official statement posted on Tweetyland.

I just tried to go there. Nothing.

Looks like it's "half" live now...

Whoa man! It is up, now!

It has the NCAA basketball tournament odds.

I think its webmaster needs to learn responsive html and css.

Whoa man! It is up, now!

The site has been up. Some regions may have been blocked for various reasons but player activity has been recorded each and every day despite all of these attacks.

I'm sure it hurt them financially, and I'm sure if I dug into the numbers I'd see a smaller amount of action, but my point is simply that while the site may have appeared unavailable and down to some of us, it was actually up and running in other countries, IP blocks, etc.

They have moved to Cloudflare; internet's No. 1 CDN and anti-DOS provider. The site should now be fully operational for all countries. Please clear the cache of your browser; if your'e still facing issues.

There are two sides. Its a hot topic right now, but I like your post; Thanks

The only time I can Bet-online to come up correctly is when I type it in manually.

record.commission.bz - Host Error 502

[PROFRBcom]

I was just coming in to post that for the last 20 minutes that we have been checking, our affiliate links are getting 502 errors. As is the affiliate website itself:

[Buddy M]

Same here, I tried clearing my cache but that didn't work!

[Malikbhai]

502 is a server side error; meaning the script is broken betonline's side. Nothing to worry; it's got to do with the cloudflare move.

Their enterprise clients get a priority. They'll correct it soon.

It's been out for 12+ hours, both for affiliate system and click transferals.
Pretty weak implementation.

BetOnline affiliate links are still down for me. Most of this month a right off and so a bad user experience from my site. At what point will people start reducing their coverage? I am bearing with them for now, but they are not No.1 position. If they were they'd have been sidelined until they sort this mess out. DOS is not nice for anyone and it looks like they had genuine problems, if it was that or a hack. Who knows if it was contributed to by incompetence. But they should have sorted it all out long ago - they have been out of action on and off for weeks. Also, has anyone been paid yet for Feb?
