Crypto Betting Platform Stake Hit by Confirmed $41 Million Hack Stake Casino
On September 4, the crypto betting platform Stake experienced a severe security breach resulting in "suspicious outflows" of $41 million, as reported by blockchain security experts. These illicit transactions involved substantial sums of cryptocurrencies, including Tether (USDT) and Ether (ETH).
Blockchain analysts first detected unusually large withdrawals originating from Stake contracts, funneling funds into an inactive account. This account, later identified as "Stake.com Hacker" by Etherscan, strongly indicates that the cyber attack may have occurred due to a compromised private key.

The initial recorded transaction on the Ethereum blockchain occurred at 12:48 PM, transferring approximately $3.9 million in Tether (USDT) from Stake to the alleged hacker's wallet. In subsequent transactions, the hacker siphoned off 6,001 Ether (ETH), valued at nearly $9.8 million at the time of the attack. The rapid succession of transactions also included the pilfering of other cryptocurrencies, such as $1 million in USD Coin (USDC), $900,000 in Dai (DAI), and 333 Stake Classic tokens, resulting in an estimated total loss of $16 million according to Cyvers.
Following the fund exfiltration, the hacker distributed the stolen assets across multiple accounts. Stake publicly acknowledged the breach and reassured users about the security of their assets, emphasizing that only a small portion of the platform's crypto assets, stored in hot wallets, had been affected, minimizing potential impacts on users.
In a subsequent update, Beosin, a smart contract auditing firm, revealed that the breach extended beyond the Ethereum chain, impacting the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) and Polygon networks as well. These additional losses amounted to $7.8 million on Polygon and $17.8 million on BSC, resulting in a cumulative loss of a staggering $41 million.
JosephTheBrave Usually, streamers are watched by those who already play at casinos. I don't think they lure many people. It's just not interesting to them.
Smithsusan This "Big Bam-Book" is like a joke repeated: funny the first time, but then... well, you get the idea.
paulgreen2v Relax Gaming lowering RTP rates and then hyping up their jackpots is pretty shady. Sure, someone wins big once in a while, but how many players lose because they don’t realize their chances are much lower?
karentaylor7j It’s shocking that Twitch hasn’t banned gambling streams yet, especially when they know how easy it is for minors to access this content. Protecting young viewers should be their top priority!
SusanTheAmbitious It's concerning to see Betway continuing to land big sponsorship deals while they’re lowering RTP rates. Players deserve better, and this just feels like another way to take advantage of them.
MargaretTheJovial I completely agree with CasinosinCanada’s stance on banning gambling ads. It’s about time someone took a stand to protect vulnerable individuals from these constant and harmful messages.
EdwardTheJovial Oh, my daughter once took me to that WinStar in Oklahoma... Honestly, I thought I would go crazy from the noise of the slot machines. But it’s still cool that such places exist — it felt like being in a movie. I didn’t play, of course, but I sat in a café, watched those people — it was like stepping into another world!
WilliamsMary3 Where do such lucky people live? I've been spinning the reels for 5 years, and the most I've won is a pitiful €3100. These streamers must live in some other reality.
NancyTheTenacious Evil Devil? Seriously, who in their right mind would play this hellish trash? Sama-Satan would run away from this slot. What nonsense? More devils and demons. Zero creativity, unbelievable!
