Sell Ores Admin Abuse: Schedule, Start Times & Next Countdown
Admin Abuse is a live event in Sell Ores, the mining game from The Ore Drillers where players dig, haul, and cash in ore for upgrades. During Admin Abuse the developers drop into public servers themselves and turn their admin powers loose on the map — a deliberately chaotic break from the usual grind. With around about 11,000 players in the mines at a typical moment and more than about 6,500,000 visits to date, a server full of admins going off-script stands out from the usual grind.
The event is not a one-off. It comes back on a regular rhythm — monthly — and always lands on a weekend, so it has become a fixture on the Sell Ores calendar rather than a surprise. The next run and the usual weekend times are on the card below.

How often Admin Abuse runs
Admin Abuse returns about once a month, roughly every four weeks, and always over a weekend. So far it has run 2 times, and the next one is set for Saturday, August 29 at 1 PM ET — a confirmed date rather than an estimate.
Each run opens across two time slots so players around the world can join without staying up for a single fixed hour:
- Saturdays, 1:00 PM ET
- Sundays, 1:00 PM ET
Both windows sit at 1:00 PM ET. Across the major world time zones, that 1:00 PM Eastern start lands at 10:00 AM US Pacific, 1:00 PM US Eastern, 6:00 PM in the UK, 7:00 PM in Central Europe, 10:30 PM in India, and — the following day — 2:00 AM in Japan and 3:00 AM in eastern Australia. Picking whichever slot falls at a friendly hour is the whole point of running the event twice over the weekend.
What happens in Admin Abuse
When Admin Abuse goes live, the developers join public servers and use admin commands directly on players and the map. In a game built around mining and selling ore, that unpredictability is the appeal — no two servers experience the same run, since it depends on which admin is in the room and what they decide to do. The draw is being there while it happens rather than chasing a fixed reward list, and the surprises are exactly what the event’s name promises.
Tips for catching it
Pick whichever of the two weekend windows falls at a reasonable hour for you — the Saturday and Sunday slots are identical, so there’s no advantage to one beyond convenience. Hop into a populated server a few minutes before 1:00 PM ET so you’re in place when the admins arrive, since the busier lobbies tend to draw the most attention. And if you miss both windows, there’s no need to worry: the event comes back on its regular monthly cycle, and the next start time is always on the card above.
How Admin Abuse fits into Sell Ores
Alongside the day-to-day loop of mining and selling, Admin Abuse is one of the recurring live moments that give Sell Ores a sense of calendar. It rewards checking back rather than grinding non-stop, and its steady roughly-monthly cadence means regulars can plan around it. We update this page as the schedule changes.
