reward-gate.live is an impersonation phishing page that presents itself as a "Bonus Request Page," a reward-claim portal built to look like a legitimate service paying out a bonus. Its presence on the MetaMask and SEAL blocklists points to crypto wallet users as the intended audience. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-09. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online, with its content reachable behind access protection.
How the scam works
Bonus-claim pages work by promising a reward that can only be collected through a "request" step. That step asks the visitor to log in, enter account details, or connect a wallet and approve what looks like a routine claim. In reality the form or signature hands the operator whatever they asked for, whether login credentials, recovery details or permission to move tokens. The promised bonus never arrives, and victims can lose account access or wallet funds.
Evidence
On 2026-09-20, 10 of 89 VirusTotal engines classified the domain as malicious. They included alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft and Kaspersky. Spamhaus lists it in its DBL with a phishing designation, which affects mail and DNS filtering across many networks. Beyond PhishDestroy, it is blocked by MetaMask and the SEAL crypto-security list, and it appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-09-07 through OwnRegistrar, Inc. and was caught just two days later, which is typical of throwaway domains spun up for a short phishing run. It resolves to Proitlab LLC's network in Armenia. The Let's Encrypt certificate gives it a browser padlock, which proves nothing about whether the site is legitimate.
What to do
If you entered a password or email on this page, change that password everywhere you reused it and turn on app-based two-factor authentication. If you typed a seed phrase or private key, treat that wallet as compromised and move your funds to a new wallet immediately. If you connected a wallet and signed anything, review and revoke token approvals granted around the time of your visit. Defenders should block the domain and its hosting IP at DNS, proxy and mail gateways and search their logs for prior visits.

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

我应该为报告收集哪些信息？
联邦调查局（FBI）指南
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
当地警方 — 即使无法立即采取行动，也能留下正式记录
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
虚假网站 — 与正规网站完全一致的克隆网站，仅域名略有改动
猪的屠宰 — 通过Telegram/WhatsApp/交友软件花数周时间建立信任，随后钱被骗走
退款诈骗 — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
