BUG BOUNTY PROGRAM
The primary purpose of the GGPoker Bug Bounty Program (“Program”) is to bolster the security and to ensure the integrity of our services by providing a platform for cybersecurity experts to submit potential concerns. These concerns will then be addressed in order to enhance the robustness of our services.
GGPoker greatly appreciates the collaboration with security researchers from around the world, as it helps us ensure the safety of our valued customers. We recognize the important role that security researchers play in identifying vulnerabilities that may have been missed during the software development process. Through Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (“CVD”), these vulnerabilities can be shared and addressed in a timely manner.
For more information about CVD, review the information available at the following links:
If you have discovered a vulnerability in GGPoker’s services, we kindly ask that you contact us. If your vulnerability report affects services covered by one of the reward programs listed below, you may be eligible for a reward as described in the program description.
The Program is open for submissions at all times and the eligibility for the rewards component of this Program requires participants to agree to the following terms and conditions as provided herein. Additionally, by submitting an entry to the GGPoker Bug Bounty Program, both parties are in acceptance of the terms and conditions.
The GGPoker Bug Bounty Program is subject to the legal terms and conditions and bounty safe harbor policy described here.

BOUNTY AMOUNT
Bounty amounts are denominated in USD and will be transferred to the participants’ personal accounts. The bounty amount is deliberated by taking into account multiple factors, including but not limited to the report form and the criteria outlined below.
The following factors determine your reward tier and rewards:
1. Assets Importance level:
The importance of the asset or service on which the reported vulnerability/vulnerabilities may have an effect. The primary assessment is the impact of compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the service.
| High | A vulnerability that may have a critical impact on company assets or services if exploited upon |
| Medium | A vulnerability that may have a major impact on company assets or services if exploited upon |
| Low | A vulnerability that may have a minor impact on company assets or services if exploited upon |
2. Risk/Threat level:
The severity of the impact to service coverage, quality, and continuity that could result from the vulnerability.
| High | A server-side vulnerability or automatable attack that may cause a prolonged impact on critical services. The possibility of mass-theft of private/sensitive information of other users (account/private information or any other information inaccessible by normal means). ex) Stored XSS, SQL Injection, RCE etc. |
| Medium | A vulnerability that may cause a short-lived effect on a limited amount of services. A vulnerability that can be exploited for theft of a specific or limited number of individuals. |
| Low | A low service impact that has minimal effect on service continuity/integrity Guessing, randomized attacks that innately involve probability for exploitation of the vulnerability. |
3. Technical Complexity level:
We rate by technical complexity, such as the conditions for exploiting the vulnerability or the prerequisites for exploiting the vulnerability. The more technically easy the vulnerability, the higher the score.
- User interaction: Whether or not a user interaction is a prerequisite to recreate the issue; i.e.) a user must click an attacker’s link or must install a program to their environment for the vulnerability to be exploited); and
- Complexity: The presence of a specific circumstance that is required to exploit the vulnerability; ie) sharing the same local network as the attacker, access to sensitive information).
| High | A user interaction is not required for exploiting the vulnerability and can be reproduced independent of any particular circumstance. A method such as automation can be utilized to bypass a circumstance requirement even if one exists. |
| Medium | A user interaction is not required, but there is a small dependency on circumstance; ie) must be sharing a local network, or required access to sensitive information beforehand. |
| Low | A user interaction is required to exploit the vulnerability. There is a large dependency on the circumstance in order to exploit the vulnerability. |
4. Quality of Report:
The more detailed the step-by-step description of how to reproduce the vulnerability, including exploit or proof-of-concept code snippets, the more points will be awarded.
| High | Thorough analysis of the issue, feasible remediation plan, presence of PoC and exploit code. |
| Medium | A High level on any of the three assessment criteria |
| Low | All criteria are present in the report, but critical information is missing on how to recreate the issue, or a non-functional PoC. Not all of the criteria and present, and only a potential for an exploit is suggested |
Considerations:
The four criteria above are considered when deciding the reward rating.
Of the four main criteria the ones that affect the rating are the following:
- Assets importance level;
- Risk/Threat level; and
- Technical Complexity level.
It should be noted that those criteria are not weighted and their order does not signify priority.
- The Quality of Report will not affect a reward rating tier; however, it may influence the reward amount allocated within the specified range for each tier.
| Rating | Amount (USD) |
| Critical | 20K ~ 50K |
| High (5) | 11K ~ 15K |
| Medium High (4) | 5.1K ~ 10K |
| Medium (3) | 3.1K ~ 5K |
| Medium Low (2) | 1.1K ~ 3K |
| Low (1) | 100 ~ 1K |

SUBMISSION REVIEW PROCESS
After your Submission is sent to GGPoker, a GGPoker engineer will review your Submission and determine if it is eligible. The review time for your Submission will depend on the complexity and completeness of your Submission and the number of Submissions received.
GGPoker reserves the sole right to determine which Submissions are eligible for any bounty payment.. If multiple reports are received for the same issue from different Participants, the bounty will be paid to the first eligible submitter. If the duplicate reports provide new information not previously known to GGPoker, a differential payment may be made to the Participant submitting the duplicate report.
If you submit a vulnerability without a working exploit, you may be eligible for a partial bounty. However, if you submit a working exploit within 30 days from your Submission, you may be eligible for an additional bounty.
BOUNTY PAYMENTS
GGPoker’s decisions regarding bounties are final and binding.
If your Submission is eligible for a bounty under the terms of the applicable product program, we will notify you of the bounty amount and provide you with the necessary documentation to process payment. If you do not wish to receive a bounty, you may waive payment.
In case of any dispute regarding the identity of an Eligible Participant, we will consider the authorized account holder of the email address used to enter the Program as the Eligible Participant..
Before receiving a Bounty, a successful Participant will be subject to identity validation and confirmation screening (in the sole discretion of GGPoker). Such validation to be completed within 30 days of notification of validation. If you do not complete the required forms as instructed or return the required forms within the timeframe specified in the notification message, the bounty payment may not be made.

GGPoker Bounty Legal Safe Harbor
Summary
GGPoker wants Participants to disclose responsibly through the Bug Bounty Program, and we don’t want researchers to fear legal consequences for their good faith attempts to comply with the Bug Bounty Policy. We cannot bind third parties, so don’t assume that these protections extend to them. If you are unsure, please contact us before taking any specific action that you believe may be outside the scope of the policy.
Because both identifying and non-identifying information can put researchers at risk, we limit the information we share with third parties. We may provide non-identifying substantive information about a reporter to an affected third party, but only after notifying the reporter and obtaining a promise that the third party will not take legal action against the reporter. We will only share identifying information (such as name, email address, phone number, etc.) with third parties if you give us written permission.
If a security investigation that is part of the Bug Bounty Program violates certain restrictions in the Site Policy, a limited waiver is granted under the terms of the safe harbor.
Safe Harbor Terms
To encourage research and responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities, GGPoker will not take civil or criminal action or send notices to law enforcement for accidental or good faith violations of the GGPoker Bug Bounty Terms and Conditions (“this Policy”). GGPoker considers security research and vulnerability disclosure activities conducted pursuant to this Policy to be “authorized” under applicable computer fraud legislation, applicable copyright legislation and applicable computer usage legislation including but not limited to the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the DMCA CA Criminal Code R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46. GGPoker hereby waives any potential claims we may have against Participants who bypass technical measures we have used to protect the application in the scope of the Program.
If a Participant’s security research involves the networks, systems, information, applications, products, or services of a third party other than GGPoker, please understand that we cannot bind that third party, and that third party may pursue legal action or law enforcement notification. We cannot and do not authorize security research in the name of another entity, and we cannot in any way offer to defend, indemnify, or otherwise protect you from any third party action based on your conduct.
Participants must comply with all applicable laws and refrain from interfering with or damaging data beyond the scope of our bug bounty program.
Please contact us before engaging in any conduct that is inconsistent with this Policy or not covered by this Policy. We reserve the sole right to determine whether your conduct violates this Policy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing in the event legal action is commenced by a third party including law enforcement or a regulator, because of your participation in the Program, and you have complied with this Policy, we will take steps to make such compliance known but despite any objection we may be compelled to assist in such legal action.
