Toronto-based iGaming technology provider Bragg Gaming Group disclosed a cybersecurity breach detected during early-morning operations on August 16, 2025. The company activated containment protocols immediately after the discovery and engaged third-party cybersecurity experts to investigate the incident. Initial analysis suggests attackers used a targeted attack vector to gain access to the company system.

In an official statement, Bragg clarified that forensic reviews found no evidence of compromised personal data or restricted access to operational systems. The company emphasized business continued as usual, stating the attack caused no disruptions to client services. Investigations remain ongoing with relevant authorities.

Containment Integrity Saves the Day

Bragg confirmed its systems remain fully functional since the breach, reiterating in its public statement, “The breach has had no impact on the ability of the company to continue its operations, nor has it been restricted from accessing any data that has been subject to the breach.”

Forensic teams are analyzing traffic patterns and system logs to identify the intrusion vector while containment protocols isolate the compromised segments. Critical infrastructure, like the Bragg Hub and Player Account Management systems, underwent emergency security audits, and live gaming platforms were cleared of vulnerabilities. The firm has doubled down on 24/7 monitoring of its Remote Games Server (RGS) and server clusters.

Bragg assured it is “committed to data safety, is taking the matter very seriously and asks its customers and partners for their patience as it seeks to remediate the situation.” The company will provide updates through its website as the investigation continues.

Similar Incidences

Bragg’s breach is one of several cybersecurity threats across the global gambling sector in recent years. Flutter Entertainment reported UK customer data compromises at its Paddy Power and Betfair brands in July this year, while Merkur Entertainment faced vulnerabilities on its German platform, exposing players’ banking details.

An Industry-Wide Issue

The land-based industry has not been spared either. A 2023 ransomware attack caused operational paralysis for MGM Resorts, resulting in a $100 million financial hit. A similar case applied to Caesars Entertainment, which ended up making a $15 million ransom payment. Gateway casinos in Ontario and Jake’s 58 in New York suffered shutdowns from separate breaches the same year.

Recent targets include Jackpot Junction Casino in Minnesota (April 2025) and online platforms like DraftKings and FanDuel, where stolen credentials drained user accounts. Flutter’s latest data compromise this month highlights the persistent cybersecurity risks affecting the sector.
