Online gambling operators encounter hosting issues that other businesses do not. Understanding these challenges helps in selecting the right infrastructure:
Payment processor pressure. Visa and Mastercard place iGaming merchants in high-risk categories and routinely pressure hosting providers to terminate gambling-related accounts, even when the gambling operation is fully licensed and legal in its target jurisdiction. Bulletproof hosts operate outside this pressure system.
Competitor abuse complaints. iGaming is a highly competitive market where bad actors submit fraudulent abuse reports against competitors to disrupt their operations. Standard hosts take these at face value and terminate accounts. Bulletproof hosts investigate before acting.
Regulatory targeting. Regulators in jurisdictions where the gambling operator is not licensed (such as US state gaming commissions) send cease and desist letters to hosting providers. These have no legal force outside their jurisdiction but standard hosts comply anyway. Bulletproof hosts recognize the jurisdictional limits of these demands.
Domain and hosting disruption tactics. Anti-gambling advocacy organizations and some governments coordinate campaigns to disrupt gambling platforms across multiple vectors simultaneously. Bulletproof infrastructure isolates hosting from these coordinated attacks.
