A few days ago I noticed that STAKE does not allow any gambler to deposit on their website without completing KYC (both existing users and newcomers). Although there are restrictions on deposits, the site has no withdrawal restrictions. Users can gamble without KYC and they can make withdrawals too, but only deposits are terminated.
I didn't know this even though I have been playing at Stake for a long time now. Shit like this sucks big-time for the players, but the silver lining is that there are still plenty of great legit alternatives that don't require KYC for deposits and withdrawals.
The least they could do was give a grace period to process the KYC if they want or to refund the money of players who do not meet the KYC requirements within the validity period. That would have been reasonable.
Exactly. This would show that they actually care about their players and improve their popularity in the long-term.
