Crypto wallet security when playing on an anonymous site

Introduction

When playing on anonymous casinos, where your crypto wallet is the only identifier, protecting the private key and seed phrase becomes critical. An error in the security of the wallet leads to an instant loss of all funds. Below is a step-by-step set of measures without unnecessary reasoning, only specifics.

1. Choosing a wallet type

1. Hardware Wallet

Ledger, Trezor or equivalent: the private key is stored offline.
Confirmation of each transaction on the device - it is impossible to sign anything unnoticed.

2. Mobile or desktop soft wallet

MetaMask, Trust Wallet - for quick test deposits.
Use only on devices with the latest OS updates and antivirus.

3. Splitting wallets

Gaming wallet: a small balance for bets.
Cold storage wallet: the main bankroll not accessible from an Internet browser.

2. Seed phrase management

1. Offline record

Paper or metal plate (Cryptosteel).
Store in two independent physically remote locations.

2. Never digitally

Neither in the photo, nor in the cloud, nor in the notes of the phone.
Any leak means complete control of the attacker.

3. Regular check

Periodically restore your wallet to your new device to make sure the seed phrase works.

3. DApp Connection and Contract Review

1. Domain and SSL validation

Mandatory HTTPS with EV certificate (green lock).
Compare the URL with the official casino mirrors in the Telegram channel.

2. Separate browser profile

Create a profile with no extensions except your wallet.
Disable all other plugins to reduce the attack vector.

3. Smart Contract Source Validation

На Etherscan/BscScan: “Contract Verified”.
Check the address of the contract used in DApp against the official documentation.

4. Restriction of connection rights

When requesting access to the wallet, give only "read" and "send," not "sign typed data," if not required.

4. Test transactions and limits

1. Mini-deposit

First deposit - the equivalent of 10-20 USD in cryptocurrency.
Make sure the funds come and go without delay.

2. Transactional validation

Get the TXID, track in the blockchain browser until confirmed.
Record the gas price and time of inclusion in the block.

3. Setting limits

В MetaMask: Settings → Advanced → Confirm large transactions.
Set the maximum bet and the maximum daily spend.

5. Network security

1. VPN with no-logs policy

Connect before any transaction.
Choosing a server in a jurisdiction without the need to store logs.

2. DNS encryption

Enable DNS over HTTPS or DNS over TLS in the OS or browser settings.
Eliminate leaks through the provider.

3. Disabling WebRTC-Leaks

In Chrome/Firefox, use the "WebRTC Block" extensions or configure about\: config.
Check for leaks on the ipleak. net.

4. Wi-Fi security

Avoid public networks; use a personal hotspot or encrypted connection via a router.

6. Private key protection when signing

1. Hardware confirmation

Without Ledger/Trezor, you cannot sign the transaction - the attacker will not receive the transaction automatically.

2. Double check transaction body

Look in the wallet: recipient's address, amount, gas parameters.
Do not sign transactions with unnecessary parameters ("approve all," "permit unlimited").

3. Avoid "approve" mass rights

For each token, do approve for the minimum amount, not onetime unlimited.

7. Monitoring and response

1. Setting up notifications

Enable MetaMask notifications on your mobile device.
Configure the webhook on your own server or Alchemy Notify service.

2. Regular balance check

Automated script or dashboard: notification when funds move.
Can be implemented via Etherscan API or Covalent.

3. Response plan

In case of suspicious transactions, "revoke" all permissions at once (etherscan. io/tokenapprovalchecker).
Transfer the balance to a cold wallet.

Conclusion

The security of the crypto wallet on an anonymous site is ensured by a multi-level approach: the choice of a hardware or split wallet, strict offline control of the seed phrase, verification of DApp and contracts, test transactions, network protection and operational monitoring. Compliance with these steps minimizes risks and guarantees the safety of funds in conditions of complete anonymity.
