Could you share your withdrawal experience? How much information did you have to provide to stake.com?
I don't advise VPN usage at all unless the casino permits it and if you have evidence showing that they allowed you to use it. Many sites usually use VPNs as a way to avoid paying out legit gamblers and Stake ain't no exception.
Also, the information that they ask for when discussing about VPN usage varies from person to person basically.
Ive never used VPN to play on stake, but alot of other gamblers have testified that it's absolutely safe to use VPN on the casino, I haven't really gone into thorough reading of their terms and conditions to fully understand why their stand is on VPN usage, but since people who have used it tend to assure that it's safe, then I want to believe its safe.
We should understand that using VPN for any other reason aside from trying to bypass a restriction is actually safe with some online gambling casinos.
Normally, what the casino management will do after a good winning and requesting withdrawal, will be to ask the gambler to submit his ID for kyc verification, the the gambler does, and the casino management can confirm that he or she is playing from a country that they have not banned and restricted, then kyc will be verified and the gamblers withdrawal request will be processed, but if it's the other way round, then rest assured that the gambler have gotten him or herself into a serious problem.
