I'm breaking my own rule by responding to your AI-generated idiocy, which I vowed to stop doing, but people need to know why its nonsense. And frankly I don't even know how you tricked AI into writing fake bullshit for you, but you did, so congrats on that.

• Forced Hits & Busts: Their system can pressure you into hitting more often, increasing busts.

OK, how? You can't just spout nonsense claims with nothing to back them up and then expect anybody to believe you.

• No Counterplay: When you bust, the house doesn’t even need to draw—your bet is already lost.

No shit sherlock. That is how Blackjack has always worked.

• Winning Streaks Don’t Offset Losses: Even an 8-win streak can’t outpace the built-in advantage of you busting first.

True, that's part of the house edge. This has been known for 70+ years.

Give it a rest. Nobody's paying you one rupee. Just stop gambling.

Stake is doing goes beyond simple legal ambiguity. Stake offers INR deposits, but they do so through unauthorized third-party vendors who are not registered for GST and do not comply with income tax laws. This isn’t just about individual players "taking a risk"—it’s about Stake systematically evading Indian tax laws and laundering money to Australia via Gibraltar, a known offshore jurisdiction for such operations.

One of their third-party vendors, Priyank Enterprises, was arrested for illegal financial activities involving huge amounts of money. Eddie himself has an FIR lodged against him in India. If their operations were truly above board, why the use of shady intermediaries and mirror sites? Why did they face an ISP ban in India?

Regarding your point about cryptocurrency: while Stake offers crypto deposits, it’s not as simple for many users in India. Crypto transactions are strictly scrutinized in India, and many players are unfamiliar or uncomfortable navigating crypto regulations, which Stake takes advantage of by encouraging easy fiat deposits, even if those deposits are illegal.

To be absolutely clear: this is not about blackmail—it's about accountability. I have already reported Stake's operations to the Cyber Crime division in India and the FBI in the US, because of their money laundering practices and tax evasion activities. If they think they can operate without consequences, they are mistaken.

I also want to highlight the unethical role of Indian cricket icon Krishnamachari Srikkanth. Under his affiliate ID "https://stake.com/?c=bleedblue" & "https://stake.com/?c=Cheeka" he has promoted IPL betting with Stake, raking in millions while promoting illegal gambling activities to Indian users. This behavior makes him a poor role model for the sport and the country. He should be held accountable for encouraging players to deposit via illegal methods and for profiting off the vulnerabilities of his fans.

Stake’s actions put Indian players at risk of serious legal trouble while benefiting from these illegal practices. My intention is simple: bring attention to Stake’s unethical activities, ensure affected players get justice, and expose anyone complicit in promoting illegal and harmful practices—including celebrities who should know better.

Response to Nutildah and the Ongoing AML Violations by Stake:

You can dismiss talk of “house edge” or “AI posts” all you want, but here’s the cold reality: Stake isn’t just skirting gambling laws—it’s blatantly violating AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations and Indian tax codes. This is far bigger than some petty forum squabble:

Shady Vendors & ISP Bans: Stake doesn’t merely dabble in “legal ambiguity.” They push INR deposits through unregistered third-party vendors—like Priyank Enterprises—who got arrested for massive illegal financial dealings. Stake was also hit with an ISP ban in India. If it were all legit, why the cloak-and-dagger operations?
Money Laundering Via Gibraltar: Stake funnels money to Australia through Gibraltar—a known offshore hub for dubious transactions. There’s even an FIR lodged against Eddie in India. You think that’s a random coincidence?
Crypto Smoke & Mirrors: Sure, Stake offers crypto deposits, but they aggressively encourage Indian users to deposit fiat, circumventing Indian financial laws. Many players are left clueless about the legal risk they’re taking.
Exploiting Celebrity Affiliates: Indian cricket icon Krishnamachari Srikkanth—promoting Stake as “bleedblue” and “Cheeka”—is raking in millions from illegal IPL betting affiliates. A national sports figure pushing an unlicensed, tax-evading platform? That’s not just unethical; it’s criminally negligent.

Bottom line:
Your “house edge” debate pales in comparison to Stake’s systemic law-breaking. It’s not “sore loser” talk—it’s about a platform knowingly laundering billions from Indian players. Calling it a “conspiracy” won’t change the fact that regulators are closing in, and no amount of gaslighting or personal insults will save them.

If you truly believe Stake is squeaky clean, ask yourself:

Why use illegal third-party vendors and mirror sites?
Why funnel money through Gibraltar?
Why push fiat deposits to unsuspecting Indian players while ignoring crypto scrutiny?

That’s not a “minor oversight”—it’s a coordinated, profit-driven scheme at the expense of Indian users’ legal and financial safety. So spare us the deflections about house edge. The real issue is AML violations, tax evasion, and money laundering. And when the hammer finally drops, all your dismissive quips about “AI idiocy” won’t stop the fallout.
