When is Satan cast into the lake of fire in Revelation?

After the thousand years have run their course, as eternity begins and just before the great white throne judgment, the devil who deceived them is cast into the lake of fire and brimstone. The beast and false prophet are already there, and all three go to eternal doom without the great white throne judgment.

Les explains that this event occurs after the thousand years have run their course, when we are ready to go into eternity and about to be introduced to the great white throne judgment of all the lost of humanity in verse 11. In verse 10, the devil who deceived them—old Satan, the dragon, the old devil—is cast into the lake of fire and brimstone. The beast and false prophet are still there after a thousand years; they have not been annihilated or destroyed. These three personalities who made up the unholy trinity of the tribulation go straight to that eternal doom, the lake of fire which burns forever and ever, without benefit of the great white throne judgment. They go immediately. Later they will be joined by all the other lost of the ages, but those others at least have their moment before the Lord at the great white throne.

Revelation 20:10

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
