My account is registered in 2020.
I don't fill up anything, my account it's level 0. Some people say, right now you need to be Level 1/2 for playing on Stake. I love Stake because they have the biggest bankroll as well for the casino compared to their competitor.
So they have highest limit withdraw and bankroll.
great, I'm a new user at Stake in 2022, maybe my account has to follow the new rules that have been applied before I sign up, but actually for me it's fine to complete level 1 verification as long as it's not asked to provide my identity I think it's good enough and as long as I don't break anything let alone break the rules, everything is good

I am also a new user on stake, and I applied for kyc verification the day I signed up and got verified few days later, I have wagered a couple of dollars, my vip level is still zero but progressing nicely to bronze.
So with this, I don't think the level is checked by kyc verification but by the amount of money wagered on the platform, though this still does jot rule out the fact that when a gambler gets to a certain level, passing kyc verification becomes a must if the gambler must keep going forward.
