0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

betFIRST is a Belgian online gambling platform offering a comprehensive range of services including sports betting, casino games, live casino, and dice games. The company positions itself as a pioneer in the Belgian market, targeting adult users interested in gambling and sports betting. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear navigation, supporting a good user experience. The platform integrates multiple payment methods and maintains an active social media presence, enhancing its market credibility. Technically, the website employs modern technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Google Tag Manager, and Cloudflare services, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and implements a detailed cookie consent mechanism, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and Cloudflare Bot Management, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, but the absence of incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure policies suggests areas for enhancement. The domain registration details align well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Overall, betFIRST presents a trustworthy and professional gambling platform with solid technical foundations and compliance efforts. Strategic improvements in security transparency and privacy documentation would further strengthen its posture.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

betFIRST operates in the online gambling sector in Belgium, offering sports betting and casino services. It holds official licenses from the Belgian Gaming Commission, targeting adult users (21+). The business model revolves around online betting and gaming revenue streams, supported by partnerships and sponsorships with local sports teams. The company leverages multiple payment methods and digital marketing tools to attract and retain customers. Its competitive advantage lies in its pioneering status and comprehensive service offerings. Growth indicators include mobile app availability and active social media engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes payment processors and advertising networks like Sportradar and Adjust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforcement and Cloudflare Bot Management integration. Cookie consent is implemented with granular control, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, X-Frame-Options) and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate gaps in security transparency and readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The site would benefit from publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and providing clear security contact channels to enhance incident response capabilities and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including jQuery and Bootstrap for UI, Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking, and Cloudflare for hosting and bot management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses canonical and Open Graph meta tags for SEO and social sharing. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Cookie consent is implemented with detailed categories and user controls. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks include missing security headers and limited accessibility features, which could impact security and compliance.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
