OCG Rulings
- During the Damage Step, you cannot activate a face-down "The Dragon's Bead". Also, if "The Dragon's Bead" is already face-up, then you cannot activate its effect during the Damage Step, for example, against "Reinforcements" if it is activated during the Damage Step.[1]
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[2] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise.

- If "The Dragon’s Bead" is already face-up on the field, you may activate it multiple times in the same chain, but you must discard 1 card from you hand as a cost for each activation.
- You cannot activate the effect of "The Dragon’s Bead" during the Damage Step.
- You cannot activate the effect of "The Dragon’s Bead" to negate a Trap Card that has already resolved, such as a "Nightmare Wheel" the opponent activated on a previous turn.
- You can only activate the effect of this card to negate a Trap Card that targets a face-up Dragon-Type monster, so it cannot negate "Mirror Force", "Waboku", "Torrential Tribute", "Bottomless Trap Hole", etc.
