Client-Side Security for Gaming and Gambling

Protect your gaming platform from client-side attacks and ensure regulatory compliance.

Gaming and gambling websites see a very high amount of client-side attacks, due to the vast level of transactions. Exfiltrating sensitive information such as email addresses, session tokens or credit card details through a malicious 3rd party JavaScript, has become a surefire way for attackers to approach this potential. Many websites have no client-side monitoring and attackers make use of that.

Compliance

Compliance with PCI DSS v4.0.1, requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1 for payment pages. c/side goes one step further, and ensures the same security level on all the website's pages. Preventing attackers from hijacking the users session step earlier in the user flow.

Companies in this space are heavily regulated; an incident usually causes legal action by its customers or a failed audit resulting in fines. The reputational damage of an attack can severely impact the profitability of a consumer business.

Incidents are very common. Over 600K websites were impacted in 2024, and in January 2025 alone we spotted over 15000 websites impacted through new attacks alone.

Security

Protection from client-executed attacks originating from your dependencies in the browser of your users. Securing the input of login portals, credit card and private information. c/side is the only solution offering full visibility and forensics - seeing the exact payload of all scripts every time to promise the best possible protection.

Unlike other methods, c/side actively analyzes and protects against evolving threats in real-time. Our proxy-based architecture inspects the exact payload delivered to end users, ensuring no blind spots. All script traffic is monitored and stored without interacting with sensitive user data, making analysis after the fact a breeze.
