A Telegram post or forwarded screenshot can omit context. Verify the source and original promotion before treating its code as current. This guide focuses on checking posts; the Telegram claimer page explains StakeClaimer's relay.
Start from an official source
Stake's bonus-drop guide identifies its Telegram channels alongside X and streams as sources. Follow channel references from Stake's own pages instead of trusting a channel name, logo or unsolicited message. A lookalike name is not proof of affiliation.
Read the complete announcement
Check the platform, publication time, reward, qualifying conditions and any stated expiry or redemption cap. A forwarded message may be old or missing a follow-up correction. Open the source announcement when available; a screenshot cannot show later edits.
Keep code text separate from account access
Do not share your password or session key with someone offering to redeem a drop for you. A request for account credentials is different from a public promotional code. Use the platform's own interface and current instructions to check the offer.
Compare a relay entry carefully
The public feed records detections and labels the destination COM or US. It does not certify that the source offer is still open or that a particular account has claimed it. Use your device's claim history for the outcome, and the original announcement for eligibility.
If the code was rejected, keep the response rather than assuming it expired within a fixed number of seconds. See the announcement-reading guide for offer conditions and the troubleshooting guide for device problems.
