😡 Selective Refunds & Ignored Complaints  You’re absolutely right to feel scammed.
Some users are mysteriously refunded.  
OthersYou used a UPI payment method directly listed on Stake.com — one they knowingly routed through shady third-party vendors. Whether Stake wants to admit it or not, despite facing verifiable financial damage and emotional trauma, are stonewalledyou made the payment in good faith. It's their responsibility.

Their classic responseSaying “it wasn’t sent to us” after YOU displayed the payment method?  
“Everything has been answered” — even when nothing was actually addressed. It'That’s gaslighting at scalelike a shopkeeper blaming the customer for a thief among their cashiers.

❌ Support Shutdown: Email Channel Gone  Your ₹500 (~$5.81) may seem small, but this is not about the amount — it’s about accountability.
Stake has officially discontinued email support. Here's what I received:
📸 Screenshots don’t lie:
Quote
"We have moved to our live support solution located on the Stake website… This Email will no longer be serviced."

But here's the trick — live chat becomes inaccessible once your account is placed on withdrawal-only mode, or if you start asking the “wrong” questions.
And now, support doesn’t even let some of us open a ticket — while @holydarkness & co. act like nothing happened.
This isn't a move toward better support. It's a deliberate tactic to:
  • Silence users
  • Avoid written paper trails
  • Dodge data access requests
  • Escape legal scrutiny
🚨 STAKE.COM SCAM ALERT (INDIA) 🚨
⚠️ This Is NOT Responsible Gambling – It’s Corporate Gaslighting  Stake is now charging a 10% withdrawal tax (previously 15%) on INR.
This is no longer about addiction or user behavior. It’They claim it's about:due to “payment provider fees”…
  • Deliberate evasion of responsibility
  • Mental and emotional destabilization of users
  • Manipulation via selective communication and refund bias

I've escalated this to the Curacao Gaming Control Board (XCM) and the Gambling Commission of India.But let’s break down what they’re really saying 👇

If you've experienced similar mistreatment — don’t stay silent. Document everything. Speak out. Demand answers.📌 CONTRADICTORY MESSAGES FROM SUPPORT

Hello there!
"We understand you may be frustrated by the recent decision made by the payment provider..."
Thanks for reaching out to Stake support team"You can always use crypto if this fee is too high."

So wait — if the provider is choosing fees, who is the provider?
Please, review the information entered at the moment of transfer.Why is there no public announcement?
Why is there no receipt or invoice for these deductions?

Now, Stake is charging "provider fees" to cover up their mess
⚠️ WARNING: Stake.com SCAMMED A USER – ₹500 (~$5.80) STOLEN VIA UPI DEPOSIT

Another Indian user has just been scammed by Stake after depositing ₹500 INR (~$5And instead of refunding affected users like @Thamizhan, they shift blame to "payment providers"… which they selected.80 USD) via UPI.

Support’s official response?💣 STAKE SUPPORT IS BROKEN

Quote
"Your transaction was not sent to Stake."  
"We are merely a receiving platform."  
"The payment provider is in charge."
❌ Email support = disabled
Which means:
  • Stake was using 3rd-party vendors for UPI deposits before the 15% “compliance fee” started
  • They never informed users about this change
  • They now deny refunds — even when they admit the funds never reached Stake
❌ Live chat = only for unflagged accounts
Screenshot from the Live Chat:
❌ Refunds = selective, dodgy, and dishonest
[spoiler=Live Chat Screenshot #1]
[REMOVED IMAGE] Stake told a customer their ₹500 was "not received" — even though the UPI method was Stake-endorsed.
[/spoiler]
That’s not customer service. That’s fraud wrapped in disclaimers.
The support agent “VladimirBa” offered vague, robotic responses and dodged responsibility.  
Even their “English expert” agent pretended not to understand the issue.🧠 THIS IS GASLIGHTING, NOT "RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING"
They say: 🧩 "We’re compliant now"
Meanwhile @holydarkness — notorious for defending Stake no matter what — has refused to comment.🧩 "We can’t control the fees"
🧩 "Talk to the provider"

But they: red;">🚨 THIS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING  ✅ Chose shady vendors
This is a clear pattern of:✅ Deny valid transactions
  • No transparency on payment methods
  • No safety net for lost deposits
  • No escalation or accountability path
✅ Shut down refund requests
And this was just a ₹500 (~$5) transaction…✅ Block emails, chats, and criticism

If they’re comfortable stealing small deposits💡 IF ₹500 CAN VANISH, imagine what happens with larger amounts.WHAT ABOUT ₹5 LAKH?
If they can wipe their hands off ₹500, imagine what they’ll say if you lose ₹50,000 or ₹500,000?

🔴 Stake hides behind “payment providers” to avoid refundsThis isn’t a single error.  
Their unspoken mottoThis is a repeated pattern of:  
“Blame the user. Protect the scam.”
Avoiding legal responsibility
If you’ve been gaslit, ignored, or scammed — come forward. Your voice matters.

Together, we can hold them accountable.
