I read the post earlier today, but only managed to compose a reply just now. OP, I'm glad that your case meet a happy ending. The neighboring case where the player also had to went through rigorous KYC doesn't end well. They investigated your account after he passed KYC and found a "breach".
As other said, please mark this as resolved and lock this thread. I'll update the list with this current development. If I may also suggest... perhaps stay a good kilometer away from Stake for a while?
was this really resolved though? i got my money but i also want answers from stake why they do this to me.
I'll say that's a fair request. But is that really feasible? You can demand them to explain, rain their support with emails inquiring this, you can perhaps reply to CG [which you haven't, by the way, and they've extended your response time to clarify that you've got your fund] and ask them to ask Stake for explanation, but let's be realistic here, how low is the chance --you think-- Stake will give any answer for this?
Best you can get will mostly a, "it's just a routine random check, players are agreeing to this when they sign up." Will you be satisfied with that? As unfair as it sounds, perhaps even anticlimactic, wouldn't it be better and easier for your mind to just take this as a winning and let it go?
Stake suck, big time, on this case. Many people overseeing this thread are agreed with that. I think it's a consolation enough, because the alternative will be you pursuing a ghost of an answer for an undefined time. So, if I were you, after about half a year of being stressed, walking off with my entire balance in my pocket sounds nice.
