Stake have been condoning and encouraging multi-accounting for years when they were building active player numbers...

Why is it now OK to block these accounts and confiscate funds ??

Ask the players with alt accounts to select one. Merge the funds into that one account and close the rest..
Seems a bit of a fairer option to me..

I guess it depends on how you use those accounts. Generally speaking, most casinos have no tolerance for multi-accounting. However, those that don't mind, don't want to see you abuse bonuses and promotions. Abusers who get limited register new accounts to continue with the same playing habits after they got busted and limited. That, of course, is not ok. There aren't that many legitimate reasons to have multiple accounts on one casino.

As discussed in my last post, Stake actively encouraged multi-accounting up until 12-15 months ago

The extra bonus's and referral's rakeback etc were used by Stake to entice players to use Alt accounts

In the early twitch streams, Eddie often spoke of how many Alt accounts such and such had, congratulating them on being able to manage their accounts simultaneously.

Then Again, this is the same Eddie who always maintained:

There will never ever be any circumstance where Stake will request any KYC or proof of identity from any Stake player
and
Up until a few weeks ago, Stake will never ever withhold anyone's funds.. If there are problems, your account may be placed into "withdraw only" mode. But every player will always be able to withdraw their funds.

When Stake got into bed with TGP Europe, who are actually the holders of Stake.uk.com's UK License, things started to change for the worse..

Looks like a classic example of Poacher turned Gamekeeper to me
