The August 2026 Drop Report — 37 Stake.com codes, $387.50, and where the gates sat

Here is August 2026 on Stake.com in numbers — 37 drop codes worth $387.50. Tracking on Stake.com started 26 Aug 2026, so this covers 6 days of August rather than the whole month. Nothing here is scaled up to pretend otherwise. That is 6.2 codes a day across the days we watched. Saturday was the heaviest weekday. Everything is counted from Stake.com's own public posts, in UTC.

What landed

The split between the channels is the part most round-ups leave out. Daily drop carried 18 codes, typically $3 each, on a median gate of $12,000 wagered. High roller added 17 codes at around $12.50, but only to accounts over $50,000 wagered. 50% of the 36 codes with a stated value came in under $5 — small money, and that is the honest shape of this feed. Across everything, the median code paid about $0.25 per $1,000 of the gate it asked for — the number to hold in your head before you chase one. The arithmetic behind it is in how bonus drop codes work.

Week by week

Week 35 (24–30 Aug 2026) was the busiest of the month with 29 codes worth $336. Each week also gets its own report; the rest of the Drop Reports has them.

When they landed

There is no schedule for these. There is a pattern, though. The single busiest hour was 08:00 UTC with 5 codes. Widen it to a three-hour window and 08:00–11:00 UTC held 8 codes, 22% of everything posted. Saturday was the heaviest day of the week with 9 codes across the month.

On the everyday channel the median gap between codes was 5h 38m. The longest silence ran 9h 34m. Every one of the 6 days we watched produced at least one code. The first landed at 08:28 UTC on 26 Aug and the last at 21:21 UTC on 31 Aug.

The biggest codes

Size and gate move together, every time. The largest was $50, which needed $200,000 wagered in the last 7 days and came out of a $50,000 pool. That pool divides into roughly 1,000 claims at most — so the code was gone long before everyone eligible saw it. We do not know how many people actually got it; nobody publishes that. Behind it: stakecom84etdbdg7ui7h1 at $50 ($200,000 wagered), stakecomyeiup3nn4hsmej at $25 ($100,000 wagered), stakecomkcj84u197q8s09 at $25 ($100,000 wagered). The gates this period ran from $3,000 at the low end to $200,000 at the top, with a median of $12,000.

Versus last month

Nothing to compare against. The month before this one predates our tracking of Stake.com — we hold a handful of codes from it, scraped out of channel history rather than counted as they landed, and putting this month's 37 next to that number would invent a trend. From the next month on, the comparison is real.

What it means for you

• Know your gate before you chase. Half the codes this month wanted more than $12,000 wagered in the trailing 7 days. On the everyday channel the typical code was $3 against a $12,000 gate — that is the realistic one to aim at. Under the gate a code returns "not eligible" however fast you paste it, and every error message decoded covers the rest of the messages.
• Be around 08:00–11:00 UTC. That window held 22% of this month's codes, and Saturday was the busiest day. Convert it to your own clock once and you stop missing them; the drop schedule board keeps a rolling version of this chart.
• Pools drain in hours, not days. The published pools behind this month's 37 codes add up to $891,000, split first come first served. A code four hours old is usually finished, which is why every status label on this site is age-based and says so. To catch one while it is open, watch the live Stake.com wire.

Every code in this report has its own page with the exact post time and gate; the code archive keeps August intact after the codes die, and the live Stake.com wire carries whatever is open right now.

How to read this: every figure above is counted from the posts Stake.com published on its own public channels, timestamped in UTC. Statuses on this site are derived from a code's age, not from any private feed — we do not know who claimed what, and no page here will pretend otherwise. Face value is what the post said, not what anyone received.
