Gamdom Takes Site Offline After Hackers Drain Over $3M

Gamdom owner Felix Römer has confirmed the crypto casino lost just over $3 million in a security breach targeting its hot wallet system. The disclosure follows a prolonged outage and Gambling Lore’s earlier reporting on an $11.27 million decline in balances tracked by circus.fyi.

Römer said the team detected the attack, took steps to stop funds being drained and secured other hot wallet holdings in cold storage. He said checks were complete and that the team was preparing to bring Gamdom back online, a process he expected to take a couple of hours at the time of his statement.

From Server Alert to Shutdown

In an October 13 statement, Gamdom said it initially detected a potential disk failure on one of its servers. While investigating, the company identified an unauthorized connection to an automation server and began further checks.

The operator said it took all systems offline as a precaution to assess the situation and protect users. It initially stated that user funds were safe and that services would return once it could do so securely.

Römer’s subsequent statement provided the first disclosed loss figure, saying the breach targeted the hot wallet system and cost the casino just over $3 million. The company has not publicly detailed the method of intrusion or established a connection between the unauthorized automation-server access and the wallet breach.

What Happened to the $11.27 Million?

Before the loss was confirmed, Gambling Lore reported that balances attributed to Gamdom on circus.fyi had fallen by approximately $11.27 million over 24 hours, a decline of about 98% across the tracked chains. The chart showed an abrupt reduction, but it did not establish that the entire amount had been stolen.

Römer’s account now provides important context: just over $3 million was lost, while other hot wallet funds were moved into cold storage. That is consistent with a substantial drop in publicly tracked hot wallet balances without an equivalent loss of assets.

The two figures measure different things. The $11.27 million is a change in balances monitored by a third-party tracker; the just-over-$3-million figure is the loss reported by Gamdom’s owner. The exact reconciliation between the two has not been published.

Römer said Gamdom had completed its checks and was preparing to restore the site. His estimate of a couple of hours was a projection, not confirmation that the casino had returned online.

Outstanding questions include how the attackers accessed the wallet system, which assets were taken, and whether the breach was connected to the unauthorized server connection identified during the initial investigation. Gamdom has said it will provide further updates.
