Fake Stake Telegram Bot: The 500% Bonus That Doesn’t Exist

A fake Stake Telegram bot calling itself “Stake Bonus” is running paid ads on Telegram (the messaging app), and Stake has nothing to do with it.

It promises you a 500% bonus, so on the $150 minimum deposit it asks for, you’d supposedly get $750 extra to play with.

But that bonus doesn’t exist, and the bot’s bonus buttons send you to a copy of Stake that looks exactly like the real site.

That copy only takes crypto, and since crypto payments can’t be reversed, whatever you deposit there is gone for good.

So no matter what the bot offers you, don’t tap “Claim Bonus” and don’t send a single coin to the site it opens.

Only play on the real Stake website at stake.com, or stake.us if you play in the US, where you have the best games in the world and instant withdrawals.

Play on the Real Stake Instead

The real Stake doesn’t even have a 500% bonus, so the bot is lying to you from its very first message.

What it does have is daily races paying out up to $100,000 every 24 hours, plus a weekly raffle worth up to $75,000.

Then you’ve got more than 10,000 games, from Stake’s own Originals like Plinko, Mines and Crash to a full sportsbook with live betting on over 40 sports.

And when you hit a big win, your crypto withdrawal lands in minutes.

What Is the “Stake Bonus” Telegram Bot?

A Telegram bot is an automatic account that chats with you on its own, and this one wears Stake’s name and logo without being an official Stake account.

It isn’t just one bot either, because the same trick runs under several names, most with a Stake logo:

• Stake Bonus
• Vip Promo
• VIP Elite Rewards
• VIP Bonus
• Reload

Most of their profiles describe a harmless free game (“No real money. 100% free fun game.”), which helps them slip past Telegram’s ad review while the bot pushes you to deposit real money.

They also pay for Telegram ads, like the one we saw from their “Reload” account that is dressed up as Stake and saying “It’s our 9th birthday! To celebrate, we have a special gift waiting for you!” with a VIEW BOT button.

The Stake Bonus bot alone showed 7,409 monthly users when we checked, and it chases you very aggressively with reminders like “your bonus expires soon” to get you to make a deposit.

We Tested the Fake Stake Bot

We went through the whole bot ourselves on October 30, 2026, and here’s every screen it showed us.

1. We tapped “Claim Bonus” and got three offers, a 350% Deposit Bonus, a 500% Deposit Bonus and 150 Free Spins marked “(expired)”, which are only there to rush you into picking one of the other two.
2. We picked the 500%, and the bot listed a $150 minimum deposit, a $25,000 maximum and a 2x wager requirement (meaning you have to bet the bonus twice before you can withdraw), plus a “Tip” saying the 350% has no wager requirement at all.

3. A “Bonus Successfully claimed” message came up and asked us to choose between Stake.com, Stake.us and Stake.bet.
4. Next came a “Please link your account” screen with two choices, Connect with Username or Connect with E-mail Address, and a note promising it would never ask for our password, a line that’s only there to make you feel safe.
5. We typed a username we made up, “cryptozooworld”, and the bot replied “Congrats cryptozooworld, your Bonus is active!” and pinned that message with a Continue button.

Any name works there, which proves the bot isn’t connected to Stake at all.

6. Tapping Continue opened playstake.me, a lookalike of playstake.io (the real site where Stake lists its official mirror sites, meaning its backup addresses), with a copy of Stake’s lobby and a “Claim Your 500% Bonus” pop-up asking for a deposit.

That deposit is where your money disappears, because there’s no bonus waiting behind it.

And the address changes often, so playstake.me is only the one we were sent to, and the next person could land somewhere else.

Does Stake Have an Official Telegram Bot?

No, Stake has no Telegram bot, only two official channels, @StakeCasino (about 359,000 subscribers when we checked in September 2026) and @StakecomDailyDrops (about 163,000).

@StakecomDailyDrops posts bonus codes that you type in yourself, inside your Stake account under Settings, then Offers.

Those channels only post messages for you to read, while a bot asks you questions and makes you tap buttons, and that difference is your giveaway.

Both channels even keep a pinned message warning you not to click on Telegram ads, because they’re likely scams.

Back on February 10, 2025, Stake warned on X (formerly Twitter) that a “Stake Bot” channel promising 1,000% with no wagering wasn’t theirs, and told people never to send it a crypto wallet address.

The number changes but the trick doesn’t, so if anything on Telegram asks for your Stake username or a deposit, know that it is not Stake.

Stake isn’t the only casino they copy either, since we’ve also seen fake Winna Telegram bots running the same kind of trap.

How to Spot the Fake Stake Site?

The fake Stake site looks so much like the real one that your eyes won’t catch it, so check these four things instead.

• Read the address bar letter by letter
  • The copy wraps Stake’s name in extra letters, so a quick glance won’t catch it.
  • The domain keeps changing, like stake1303.com in September and playstake.me when we tested on October 30, 2026.
  • WHOIS (the public record of when a domain was created) showed stake1303.com was only 7 days old, and a casino that’s been around for years doesn’t live on a week-old address.
• Check Stake’s official list
  • Stake lists every one of its official mirror sites on playstake.io.
  • Anything missing from that list isn’t Stake.
  • And yes, playstake.me was made to look like that very address.
• Don’t trust the design
  • The copy rebuilds Stake’s lobby pixel for pixel, with games that go from Dice, Mines, Keno, Limbo and Hilo to Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza and live casino.
  • It even copies the “playing” counter on each game.
  • And they copied the legal footer too, word for word, with the company that runs Stake (Medium Rare N.V.), its registration number 145353, the Curacao address and the certification badges.
• Watch for the bonus pop-up
  • A “Claim Your Bonus” pop-up shows up the second you land.
  • The real Stake has no welcome bonus, so that pop-up alone gives the copy away.
  • The copy only takes crypto payments, on purpose, because crypto payments can’t be reversed.

And the safest habit of all is to type stake.com (or stake.us in the US) yourself, instead of tapping any link from Telegram.

What to Do If You Already Deposited?

Act fast and go through these five steps in order.

1. Stop and block the bot
   • Don’t send any more money, whatever “fee” or “bonus unlock” the bot asks for.
   • Then block it so it can’t keep chasing you.
2. Keep your proof
   • Take screenshots of the bot chat, the fake site and the transaction in your crypto wallet.
   • You’ll need them for the reports in step 5.
3. Secure your accounts
   • If you gave the fake site an email and a password, change that password on your email account first, because it’s the key that resets all your other accounts.
   • Then change it anywhere else you reused it.
   • If you gave your real Stake username, change your Stake password and turn on two-factor authentication (it will ask for a second code that only you can get, on top of your password, each time you log in).
4. Be realistic about the money
   • A confirmed crypto transaction can’t be reversed.
   • There’s no company or support team behind the site to give you a refund, meaning it’s very likely that this money is gone forever.
5. Report it
   • In Telegram, tap the bot’s name at the top, then Report, then Scam, or forward its messages to @notoscam, Telegram’s official scam-report account.
   • In the US, file a report with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov and with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at reportfraud.ftc.gov, and attach your screenshots.
   • It rarely brings the money back, but it helps get the bot and the site shut down.

From now on, open the real Stake by typing its address in your browser, never through a bot or an ad.
