Unfortunately, making withdrawals difficult after winnings is becoming a more and more popular practice. I'm just surprised that Stakes.com, after so many years of hard work to build such a large number of users and such a good image, is now starting with such controversial practices.
So far they are doing good resolving cases about KYC in the scam section but many more are complaints are coming in, they just have to beef up the support and make it clear to their players about their policy, as one of the top casinos there's always complaints because every player has their own issue and situation, they are still on top of their game and one of the top casino in the industry.
