Expired Taming Defense Codes
Codes that no longer work — kept for reference so you stop retrying dead strings.
Promo codes in Taming Defense do not last forever. BaseBuddies retires strings after launch celebrations, milestone events, or limited-time promotions. When redemption suddenly returns invalid code, the string may have moved from the active list to this archive.
Keeping expired codes documented helps players avoid wasted clicks and confusing typos. If you are trying to redeem something from an old YouTube thumbnail or Discord screenshot, check here first before troubleshooting group membership or copy-paste errors.
Currently expired codes
These codes were active in the past but no longer grant rewards as of our latest research:
| Code | Notes |
|---|---|
!THANK1500K | Milestone thank-you code; replaced by newer like-count rewards such as !THANK2500KLIKE |
!BITKUB_1K | Event or partnership code; fully retired |
!NEWGAME23 | Launch-era promotion; no longer valid |
!TamingLive1 | Livestream or event code; expired |
Do not expect partial rewards from expired strings. The redeem menu rejects them entirely.
Active codes to use instead
Focus on codes that still work today:
!THANK2500KLIKE— 80 Gold!SORRYFORBUG— 50 Gold!SORRYFORLATE— 50 Gold!KUTCHAWANTS2PLAYZ— 100 Gold + 20 Ruby

Why codes expire
Roblox developers limit code lifespan for several reasons. One-time celebration codes (!THANK1500K, !NEWGAME23) reward early adopters without flooding the economy long term. Event codes (!TamingLive1, !BITKUB_1K) tie to specific broadcasts or partners that end on a schedule. Apology or bug-fix codes (!SORRYFORBUG, !SORRYFORLATE) sometimes stay active longer, but even those eventually rotate out when new maintenance rewards replace them.
Understanding this pattern helps you redeem quickly when BaseBuddies announces fresh strings on social media or in Update 1 patch notes.
What to do when a code fails
Work through this checklist before assuming a code is expired:
- Confirm you copied the full string including
!. - Verify BaseBuddies group membership on the same account.
- Rejoin the game server and try again.
- Compare against the Codes Hub active table.
- If still invalid, treat the code as expired and check this page.
Players sometimes confuse !THANK1500K with !THANK2500KLIKE. The extra characters matter — partial matches never work.
Staying updated
Bookmark the Codes Hub and check Updates Hub after maintenance. New milestones often bring replacement codes with higher Gold bundles. When we confirm a retirement, we move the string here and update the active list the same day.
Use your working codes to fund early progression covered in How to Play, How to Tame, and Base Building before The Lich arrives on Day 20.
Historical context
!NEWGAME23 and !TamingLive1 belonged to launch-week hype when the 365-day survival loop was new. !BITKUB_1K likely tied to a regional partner stream — useful if you watched live, useless now. !THANK1500K was the previous like-milestone thank-you before the game crossed 2.5 million likes and !THANK2500KLIKE replaced it with a higher Gold payout.
Recognizing these patterns helps you judge social media posts. A screenshot showing only !THANK1500K is outdated content, not a hidden secret. Trust the Codes Hub active table over reposts without dates.
Reporting newly expired codes
When an active code stops working for everyone, BaseBuddies has retired it. Move on to remaining active strings rather than filing false bug reports. If all codes fail simultaneously, the issue is probably server-side maintenance — check Updates Hub before troubleshooting your account.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.

No. !THANK1500K is expired. Use !THANK2500KLIKE on the active codes list for 80 Gold instead.
Can expired Taming Defense codes come back?
Rarely. Developers sometimes reissue similar rewards under new strings, but old codes almost never reactivate. Watch the Codes Hub for replacements.
Why does Roblox say invalid code for an old screenshot?
The code likely expired or was already claimed on your account. Compare against our expired archive and redeem current strings instead.
How do I know when a new code replaces an expired one?
