Hello,

Since I started betting on Stake I have rarely been disappointed, they have very good promotions, good odds, etc...

But recently, I cannot place a single bet, my stake is almost always rejected (too high). The support told me that unfortunately they cannot do much about it as it is the odd provider that fix limits for an event and for each user. Even on big events just like premier league games I cannot bet with a stake more than 0.2 mBtc (when it is possible).

I had a similar situation with sportsbet.io (odds automatically lowered for my account, banned from some promotions) and they haven't gone backwards since  (more than 8 months).

Has anyone been in this situation and was able to recover afterwards normal betting configuration?

If my situation is never going to be reviewed, I might as well get my funds back right away.

This is a common occurrence with mostly sportbooks, if you turn out to be a gambler who is able to make a consistent profit - which is extremely difficult but not impossible, then you are likely to lose all promotional offers and may also be limited in your betting amounts. It seems rather simple when you think about it, but you could consider it underhanded and unfair behavior - the bookmakers only want people who are losing, because those people are the ones who make these gambling companies profit. They'll throw some initial promotions at you, to draw you in and gauge whether you're profitable for them, but at a certain point if you just keep withdrawing winnings, then they clamp down. The only solution is to move on to the next sportbook or work within the limits they set.
