stakegames[.]net

PhishDestroy analysts have identified stakegames.net as a crypto drainer threat, a type of malicious website designed to steal cryptocurrency by tricking users into connecting their wallets and approving fraudulent transactions. The domain presented itself as a decentralized Web3 gambling site with provable trust, likely attempting to impersonate legitimate blockchain gaming platforms to lure victims. The site was registered through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com and resolved to IP address 188.114.97.3, which is associated with Cloudflare. The domain was created on April 22, 2026, making it a relatively new entity at the time of detection. Its SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 certificate authority, which is a common provider for sites using Cloudflare's infrastructure.

Technical indicators from security scanning reveal that stakegames.net has a VirusTotal score of 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging it as malicious, indicating that while the threat was not widely recognized by all scanners, it was still considered dangerous by at least one reputable source. The domain appears on 1 security blocklist and was found in 1 threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX, suggesting that it has been actively tracked by the security community. Google Safe Browsing status was not explicitly provided, but the elevated risk level and presence on blocklists imply that it may have been flagged by some browser protections. The site's page title, "Stakegames | Decentralized Web3 Gambling Site with Provable Trust," was crafted to appear legitimate and trustworthy, a common tactic among crypto drainers to lower user suspicion.

As of the latest assessment, stakegames.net has been taken offline, meaning the domain is no longer actively serving the malicious content. This may be due to actions by the hosting provider, registrar, or law enforcement. However, the risk remains elevated because the operators behind such drainers often redeploy similar scams under new domains or IP addresses. Users who may have interacted with the site should immediately revoke any token approvals granted to the domain and monitor their wallets for unauthorized transactions. PhishDestroy recommends always verifying the legitimacy of any Web3 platform before connecting a wallet, using tools like PhishDestroy's domain checker, and never approving transactions from unknown or unverified sites. The unique seed for this analysis is 523051.
