ALSO, even eddie in the stream some weeks ago said at the level 1 verification you can easily type in whatever and still get the 10% more bonus, and if necessary change it at a later point. Those are facts.
Assuming "eddie in the stream" is a Stake employee maybe he can personally refund the OP.
Eddie is the owner.
And yes me too I heard that it can be changed level 1. .
Sadly many guys here just give them 1$ bonus a week they will start saying no it's your fault stake not scam. .
At least give the guy his deposit back.
