Blockchain investigator vxdb put the loss at $4.2m, well above the founder’s own figure.
The hit
Crypto casino & sportsbook Gamdom went offline after a hot-wallet breach, according to news.bitcoin.com. Founder Felix Romer confirmed losses of just over $3m, though blockchain investigator vxdb put the figure closer to $4.2m. The operator shifted remaining assets into cold storage & was still restoring services by Oct 15.
Why it matters
For Gamdom’s customers, the gap between the founder’s figure & the investigator’s estimate matters because no independent forensic report has confirmed what was actually stolen versus moved for safekeeping. Until the platform fully restores access, bettors face inaccessible accounts & no clear timeline, despite the operator’s assurance that customer funds remain safe.
The record
| Breach date | Oct 13 (hot-wallet breach via unauthorised automation server access) |
|---|---|
| Founder’s loss estimate | $3m+ lost (Gamdom founder Felix Romer) |
| Investigator’s loss estimate | $4.2m lost across chains (blockchain investigator vxdb) |
| Breakdown by chain | $2.2m Ethereum-compatible networks, $965,000 Solana, $668,000 bitcoin, $375,000 Tron (vxdb) |
| Wallet holdings drop | $10.5m on Oct 12 to $76,000 on Oct 13 (Fairgambling tracker) |
What happens next
Watch for Gamdom to publish a full forensic report & confirm whether customer balances were affected, plus whether the site fully restores services.
