LINK to the chat history I had with 2 separate supports in one chat. They accused me of having multiple accounts at first but when I question who was I linked to they have no comment because I did not have multiple accounts and why would I? Afterwards they kept pushing toward KYC saying how KYC is randomly chosen and I must provide lv3 to withdraw balance BUT I can still keep on betting?? they have me KYC with no warning and did not offer me withdrawal mode until I verify. Stake basically KEPT my initial deposits and my earnings I have made with them because I was making money and finding ways to block my withdrawal and continue letting me bet so I can lose the money. According to their terms of service you are not OBLIGATED to KYC but I am forced and not offer an alternative like to most people I've seen for withdrawal mode if unable to verify KYC. Unfortunately yes I am unable to KYC.

As a note notice how the 1st support claim multi-account violation and all of a sudden the 2nd support says "irregularities" from integrity team and require a lv3KYC. They clearly just don't want people that actually makes money and try to find excuse but can't keep their lie straight
Why are you unable to KYC?


Stake is supposed to be VPN friendly most of their workers as well as owner is from restricted country and so am I. I've seen alot of post where people were at least put in withdrawal mode for playing from restricted country but I was not even offered that option and have my funds locked up instead

So you admit you're gambling from a restricted county. Now because you think you have seen others post they played on a VPN and withdrew, you are ok to break the sites ToS and play? That is about as ignorant as 1 can be man.

Stakes terms https://stake.com/policies/terms
Stake will not accept registration from individuals:
Under 18 years old or under the legal age of majority or gambling in their jurisdiction;
Residing in jurisdictions from where it is illegal or gambling is not permitted. Stake is not able to verify the legality of the Service in each jurisdiction and it is the User's responsibility to ensure that their use of the Service is lawful.

Where does it say it is ok to play from a restricted country on a VPN?

Normally I would say stake should refund your initial deposit, but I think those days are long gone. People need to be taught a hard lesson otherwise more and more users will keep trying to break the rules.

Stake have sponsors and streamers playing from restricted countries and once again the OWNER is playing from a restricted country.
Even if all that is true, it still does not mean that YOU are allowed to play there. Employees and Owners has nothing to do with you.

The only case you would have here is if stake 100% knew you were from a restricted country and you could prove that they know, then told you it was ok to still gamble there. Otherwise, you are breaking the sites terms and there is nothing you can do about it.

I'm not against players, and i'm not advocating for the casino. Simply stating the facts. Anytime you are thinking of gambling somewhere, read the ToS each site should have. Send an email to the site and ask if your country is allowed to gamble there. If they tell you yes, then they have 0 defense against your claim if they try to hold your money. The whole community would pressure them to pay you.
