I was able to send in tax documents here from my country and i am level 4 verified now. Stake has come back yesterday after full verification and me asking for the answer to this bet investigation and stated they need to do an internal investigation now and will contact me within 48 hours. So we will see tonight if money will be returned or they give a new reason to keep delaying my funds.
Yeah, as stated, the KYC are the "prelude" of the real investigation. Only after they've got your data and verifies it, the investigation will begin. In an ideal world, they'll release the rest of your fund, minus the winnings you got from the questionable bets. So, hopefully they'll take this decision, because the alternative is much more bleak [they confiscate everything].
Yea hopefully they just void the bet and return the original stake. I have no beef with stake as I see now what unfolded and what they have to do to protect the integrity of their business and investigations. I still would like to continue to play on the site and am expecting my funds be returned. I don't know how there could even be an alternative as that would be really shady on their part as I've done nothing wrong.
