Received a mail in spam stating small compensation bonus for the support and loyalty towards Stake. Saw the maintenance notification through Telegram Channel, by the time there were discussion on fake social accounts posting about Stake token/coin. It would be helpful if someone clarifies it. So that I can stay away or claim the small bonus.

e-mail

reach in private their support if you want get confirmation on their bonus or promotion.
I will never trust a spam email. Of course, add 2FA to your account ....

Regarding this hack... well this is not a small sum for sure, but I don't think that their business could have a serious interruption or any real damage. However, if a leader of that industry can receive such damage, it means that this industry is still primitive and a lot of security measures must be implemented in the upcoming future.

I think you and @Panjul are the ones who can reach at least more than 5000 since I know you are high roller & @Panjul are good player who can collect wagering with a small money.

As I said previously, I wagered less after the 1st monthly bonus on August because I lost both my VIP top monthly bonus as well as the monthly bonus quickly.
3 hours left for the 10m race and my position is now at 8400+ Grin

with around 100k wager.
I wagered more than 50k in the first week of the race (exactly after the 1st monthly bonus) but I wagered less after I lost the bonus, proven by my currect total wager which is only 100k
It means that I wagered the other 50k in the last 3 weeks Cheesy

, It is simply because I dont want to force myself to wager just for the race.

Let's assume that you wagered $150 000 during this promotion and you got the last place. It should cost you a minimum of $1500+ to wager that amount, based on a conservative $100 for every $10 000 wagered.... (Do you think the prize will really be worth the money that you spend.. chasing that challenge?)

On the topic of the $40 000 000 that were hacked from Stake.... guess who is going to pay for those losses. (Expect a crazy RTP for a while folks) Roll Eyes

Phew. That's an awful hit.

I'm sure we're all eager to hear for an official announcement regarding how it happened. A matter of employee access controls failing, a software failure or something else? That's for sure a large amount to keep out of cold storage anyway.

EDIT: Seeing a reply from Eddie on Twitter, it does look like even a $40 million loss is considered a small portion of reserves. Still, begs the question what happened if it's something others can learn from.

Also, stake.com pays $100 million in sponsorships to different athletes and celebrities. They could certainly cover the $40 million the sportsbook lost from a hack. The most important for users is do not panic and give the sportsbook their much needed to time to investigate and secure their service. A temporary freeze of deposits and withdrawls should be expected.

were stake's hot wallets just robbed for 16 million?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/stakecom-hot-wallet-robbed-for-40million-usd-confirmed-by-stake-5465626

Read a post in the telegram group about a USD 41m hack on stake.com. I checked this thread and there was no information from the team. Likewise through X, there is no post stating that Stake.com has been hacked. Maybe, it was done for the transfer of user assets, but account X @WatcherGuru considers it a hack. If it's being hacked, there should be valid news from the team. If the team doesn't provide an update, it looks like this is just a misunderstanding.

Stake representative usually don't hang out here most of the time even on normal days. Yeah, Stake silence is surprising since the news is already spread in the internet. Maybe they want to minimize the damage before they release official statement since this will cause panic among their existing players.

The level of betting activity on Stake is still normal though. Maybe some players is still not informed about this issue.

According to Stake support. They aren't experienced hack. I dunno what to believe now. Cheesy

They can afford to create more noise about recent happenings on their site since it may create more panic to the people who use their site if they release a statement about hacking issue. Maybe for now they are thinking about detailed explanation about those incident and I also don't know if they can able to handle that huge lose since $40 million dollar is so huge.

For now its better not to use that casino while they are dealing this problem so that we will not adding ourselves to a group of people got stress about latest happening on stake.

Don't hesitate to ask us, we will explain you how nothing wrong happened! Cheesy

LOL What a joke dude! Cheesy

As some people alluded to it above, now the biggest threat is not the hack itself if they've already managed to secure all their wallets, but the risk of a panic bank run from the customers. I guess most of people will at least try to withdraw their funds in the coming days or hours, and if the bankroll of Stake is not large enough they won't be able to cover all the withdrawals, winnings, bonus and campaigns payouts.

There is also an alternative point of view or just a coincidence that before the event, $20ml USDT was withdrawn from the purse associated with the Stake.

https://twitter.com/willo_0x/status/1698708418645594387

Perhaps just an odd coincidence considering the fact that in that Twitter post they say Stake.com wallet has made multiple interactions with the same address previously.

Watcher.guru is reporting that Stake was hacked for $41,300,000 worth of crypto. Is this true? Will it have any effect on operations or is 40 million dollars chump change? Hopefully this won’t have any effect on growth plans for Kick. That’s a pretty big loss, but I’m assuming Stake has the money to cover it at this time.

https://x.com/watcherguru/status/1698722028197400752

Twitter exploded in one moment, I saw news tweets about this hack from many people. They started with $14 million, but that number continued to grow with new tweets. But I don't think we need to worry about this. They have money to cover it at this or any other time I guess. And it's probably someone from the inside, I think they will catch them soon.

It's already confirmed on their official twitter page: https://twitter.com/Stake/status/1698746766076588057

Warning! There is a scam twitter page that also has Yellow Badge, posts at Stake's official twitter post and is also getting a lot of reposts and likes. This is the page I'm talking about: StakeAlerts. Please, don't fall into this trap, these is a fake/scam page, refund-stake.com is a phishing website, only follow the Official Stake Twitter. According to official Stake, user funds are safe!
It's very sad to see this lose, hope they'll be able to figure out what happened and get their money back.

If the numbers are right, that is a huge loss for a casino. But stake is quite big operating in large numbers as well.
So I think, this won't have a big impact on their operations. But of course, a loss is a loss.
For a small casino, this amount of loss will probably end their existence in this industry.
If they are having such amount in their hot wallets, what's more in their cold wallets?
But definitely, this unexpected event will remind them of their security features, so let's see how they will act on this situation.

They have halted transactions on some networks, so it's possible that they are already looking into it. $40 million in hot wallet is no joke, assuming that it's only concerning polygon, ETH, USDT, and USDC without BTC included. That's something to really look at. If Stake is handling this big of an amount in hot wallet, I can't even imagine how much is inside their vaults.

They are probably after the hacker right now, and are checking other avenues to which they can be attacked. It's a huge blow for Stake, but perhaps not something that can render them non-operational.

It seems it has already been confirmed on Twitter, by the way.
Sure this seems to be a very big blow for a casino or even an exchange, but this is not the first time a big service has suffered something like this, I am quite sure Stake has the resources to control de damages caused by this and move on. Who knows, they may even try to go after whoevers is behing this theft, that quatity is worth it.

Hoping to read more information about this incident, even if it is unlikely to happen, some good news could come.
May this help Stake and other casinos to further enhance their protection against internet thieves.
