Why the hell do people make websites with VALID SSL certs redirect BACK TO HTTP? What the fuck is wrong with them?!

    And here I've been doing http to https redirections. I must have been doing it all wrong!

    If they have ads on their page they get up to 30% less revenue from them because some advertisers don't serve their ads with https and so there are less people who bet.
    This is one reason I read some days ago.

    @maysi that would explain why they have a separate subdomain for user settings - those don't have ads.
    It's still no excuse to serve login forms over http tbo.

    If the page sends form data that is to be logged anywhere, throw down an SSL cert. Otherwise it's not really much of an issue if it's HTTPS or just HTTP.

    Because the agency who built our website didn't do so with SSL in mind. Simply enabling it gives >9000 mixed content errors. It's a good job I found this out before enabling HSTS.
