Where to enter a Stake bonus code
Stake has three kinds of code and they go in three different places. Get the place wrong and a perfectly good code looks broken.

Which code do you have?
| Code type | Looks like | Goes in |
|---|---|---|
| Bonus drop | stakecom9eg5535prdz1b1 | Settings → Offers → Bonus Drop (existing account) |
| Sign-up / referral | DropSiren | The code field on the registration form |
| Welcome offer | same code as sign-up | Auto-applied at sign-up, or Settings → Offers within ~24h |
Drop codes: Settings → Offers
- Log in to Stake.com (Stake.us works identically).
- Open your profile menu — the avatar or username, top right on desktop, in the menu on mobile.
- Choose Settings, then the Offers tab.
- Find the Bonus Drop box, paste the code exactly as posted (no spaces), submit.
- Eligible? The cash lands in your balance immediately, no wagering requirement on it.
Speed matters more than anything else on this page. Codes carry a shared pool and usually fully claim within hours — the wire shows which ones are still likely alive.
Sign-up codes: the registration form
When creating the account, look for the code field — on some layouts it hides behind a "have a code?" link. Enter it before you submit. This attaches the referral and unlocks the welcome offer and early rakeback. A referral cannot be attached to an account after it exists, and an account that has ever existed can't take one either.
Welcome offer: the 24-hour window
If you registered without a code, Stake generally allows the welcome-offer code to be added under Settings → Offers within about 24 hours. The deposit has to land inside that window too. Read the terms first — 40× wagering on deposit plus bonus is a lot of turnover; here's the honest math.
What the error messages mean
- "This code has been fully claimed" — the pool drained. Nothing to fix; wait for the next drop.
- "Not eligible" — you haven't met the 7-day wagering gate for this code's value. The gate table.
- "Invalid code" — a typo, a space, or a code from the other site (Stake.us codes start with stakeus, Stake.com codes with stakecom). Expired codes can also return this.
- "One at a time" — you already have an active drop claim; finish it first.
Stake.us differences
Same path (Settings → Offers), but codes start with stakeus, values are in Stake Cash, and the requirement is SC played rather than dollars wagered. Live Stake.us codes.
Questions people actually ask
- Where do I enter a Stake bonus drop code?
- Log in to Stake.com (or Stake.us), open the profile menu, choose Settings, then the Offers tab. Paste the code into the Bonus Drop field and submit. The value is credited as cash immediately if you're eligible.
- Where do I enter a Stake promo code when signing up?
- In the registration form there's a field labelled code (sometimes hidden behind a 'have a code?' toggle). Enter it before you create the account — referral codes cannot be added afterwards.
- I forgot to enter a code at sign-up. Can I add it later?
- The welcome-offer code can be added within roughly 24 hours of registration under Settings → Offers. The referral attachment itself can't be added later, and support only helps circumstantially.
- Why does Stake say my bonus code is not eligible?
- Drop codes require recent volume — about $4,000 wagered in the last 7 days per $1 of code value on Stake.com, or the equivalent in Stake Cash played on Stake.us. New or inactive accounts see 'not eligible' until they meet that gate.
