Moolah.bet is an online crypto-betting casino operating in Australia. The company offers a wide range of games: sports betting, slots, etc. In the gambling industry, protection against DDoS attacks is critical. Competitors may overload the infrastructure and crash the site, leading to platform downtime, financial losses, and reputational damage.
In this case study, we implemented DDoS protection for the client’s website using Cloudflare (USA) technology. The solution deflects up to 99% of malicious attacks and also enhances website performance by filtering targeted traffic.
We configured WAF rules to block bot traffic and applied geo-restrictions following the principle of least privilege. When necessary, we enforced rate limits and activated pre-configured rules to prevent potential attacks.
As with all our projects, Datami took into account the client's business specifics. We identified the main threats and implemented optimal solutions to eliminate them. As a result, we provided full DDoS protection and automated monitoring system management - with no client involvement.

At the start of the project, the client’s website was frequently targeted by DDoS and bot attacks. Without protection, the site incurred significant losses - for instance, automatic server scaling during traffic overloads alone resulted in an additional $7,000 in expenses.
After implementing 24/7 monitoring with Cloudflare, these threats were reduced by 99%. One of the most severe attacks - 113 million requests within 30 minutes - was successfully mitigated. The client received a stable system that:
All project objectives were fully achieved, and the client was completely satisfied with the outcome. Throughout the service period, they continued renewing their protection subscription every month.
Thanks to the implementation of the DataGuard protection system, the issue of site overload due to DDoS attacks was almost eliminated. The client significantly increased their cybersecurity level and avoided financial and reputational damage. This case study once again highlights the importance of cybersecurity in the gambling industry.
Cloudflare reported that it stopped the most powerful UDP flood DDoS attack aimed at exhausting system resources. In 35 seconds, the attackers flooded the company with traffic at 11.5 Tbit/s.
Among internet users, a long-standing myth has taken hold: if a website has the HTTPS mark - that is, a padlock in the address bar and the letter S after “http” - it means the resource is safe and trustworthy. But in reality, the situation is much more co
