Risk levelMedium

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

Starcasino.be is a leading online casino platform in Belgium, offering a wide range of gambling services including slots, dice games, roulette, blackjack, live casino, tournaments, and virtual sports. The website targets adult users interested in legal and safe online gambling experiences. The business is well-established with a domain age of over 10 years, indicating maturity and market presence. The platform leverages modern web technologies such as React and Next.js, hosted on Vercel, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. However, the site lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and security headers implemented, but contact information and incident response channels are not clearly provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the site is professional and functional but could improve privacy compliance and user support channels.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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

Starcasino operates in the hospitality sector focusing on online gambling. It holds a strong market position as Belgium's number one online casino, offering diverse gaming options and promotions. The business model is based on online gaming revenue, targeting adult players in Belgium and possibly neighboring regions. The site shows partnership with Grand Casino Chaudfontaine, indicating a broader casino network. The use of Contentful CMS and modern frameworks suggests a scalable and maintainable digital infrastructure. Growth indicators include active promotions and tournaments. However, the absence of detailed business registration info and contact data on the site may affect perceived credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. It uses reputable analytics and advertising services, though extensive tracking may raise privacy concerns. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the provided content. Enhancing privacy policies and providing clear security contacts would strengthen the security culture and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  3. Provide clear and verified contact information including security incident response emails.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks React and Next.js, hosted on Vercel, ensuring fast loading times and good mobile responsiveness. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, and AdRoll for user tracking and advertising. Contentful CMS is used for content management, indicating a decoupled and flexible content architecture. The site uses optimized images and preloading strategies for performance. However, the extensive use of tracking scripts may impact privacy and performance. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were identified in the provided content.
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.
