Re: WARNING: Stake.com SCAMMED A USER – ₹500 (~$5.80) STOLEN VIA UPI DEPOSIT
Finally, I got scammed by Stake. I never expected these replies from Stake.
Hello there!

After reviewing this once more, our team has confirmed that your transaction was not sent to Stake, so you will not be able to receive those funds either.

You’re absolutely right to feel scammed.
You 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, you made the payment in good faith. It's their responsibility.
-cut-
Why isn't the user and you after that third party payment provider if they did a mistake? Stake can't do much about it when they don't even see the money. They can drop the third party provider but that's about it.
This is like attacking casino when they allow trump coin terra and they drop in value. Or if i use wrong chain to send tokens.
If i choose shady way to send my money is not their responsibility. Imho calling anything like this a scam is just making any other of your accusations seem baseless as well.
What a clueless take. Let’s break this nonsense down.
“If I choose shady way to send my money...”
Buddy — the shady way was literally listed on Stake.com’s own website. The UPI option was displayed, facilitated, and marketed by Stake. The customer didn’t go rogue — he clicked what Stake offered. So let’s stop pretending this was some back-alley deal gone wrong.
“Stake can’t do much about it…”
Then why did they partner with these shady third parties in the first place? When real money flows through your platform, due diligence is your job. If I book a flight on a travel site and the airline vanishes, I don’t go hunt the airline — I go after the platform that took my money.
“Feeling scammed ≠ Being scammed”
Cute. But Stake advertised an official-looking deposit method, took advantage of India’s lax crypto oversight, and when it backfired — washed their hands clean. That’s not just a feeling. That’s a textbook scam through willful negligence.
“This is like blaming the casino when Trump Coin drops…”
No, it's like blaming the casino when the cashier steals your chips and they pretend they never saw you. Total false equivalence. We’re not talking crypto volatility — we’re talking real-world money sent through Stake’s own UPI gateway.
Let’s be honest — you're not defending logic, you’re defending a paycheck from Stake’s signature campaign. Users like you are the reason scams like this survive. You twist the blame back on victims while collecting chips from the very casino screwing people over.
Stake routed Indians through illegal UPI methods. Users got scammed. Stake denied refunds. And now they hide behind “payment providers.” That’s the truth.
Stop gaslighting and stop deflecting.
If Stake is so innocent, let them provide:
The name of this “payment provider”
The date of partnership termination
A public refund policy for failed UPI deposits
Until then, they’re not a platform. They’re a polished criminal enterprise. And your defense? Just another puppet dance.
