...I think the procedure here is to inquire to the payment processor instead of the platform... With Stake [the restaurant] confirmation that they didn't get the fund, it made things even more logical to pursue the payment processor.

Holy, you’re either misinformed or intentionally gaslighting users again.

Let’s get this 100% straight — and backed by NPCI’s official guidelines:

"The end-user customer can raise a complaint with respect to a UPI transaction for both fund transfer & merchant transactions."
(NPCI: UPI Dispute Redressal)

It is the responsibility of the MERCHANT or RECEIVING PLATFORM (in this case, Stake.com) to address uncredited or failed UPI transactions — not the bank alone, and certainly not the user. Your analogy comparing Stake to a “restaurant” is factually and legally incorrect, and dangerously misleading.

Let’s break it down in plain English:

Stake chose to offer UPI as a deposit method.
Stake facilitated the transaction via shady, unauthorized third-party vendors.
Stake advertised UPI deposits to Indian users to avoid regulatory scrutiny and KYC.
Stake received the funds through those channels.
But now Stake claims they “didn’t receive” the money and tells the user to go chase banks?

That’s not “standard procedure.” That’s fraud disguised as fintech convenience.

This isn’t a failed swipe at a coffee shop — this is illegal, cross-border online gambling using unauthorized payment channels, hiding behind silence and technical deflection.

What Stake is doing here — routing Indian UPI payments through unnamed third-party vendors — is more than shady. It’s textbook money laundering. Why? Because:

There’s no tax (TDS/GST) collected from Indian players.
There’s no invoice or legitimate transaction receipt.
The vendors receiving the UPI funds are not actual businesses — they exist solely to pipe money to Stake.
Millions, maybe billions, have been routed this way — off the books.

Let’s not forget: Stake's co-founder Eddie Craven has an active arrest warrant in India related to this kind of activity. The house of cards is cracking — and this forum deserves better than a smokescreen from a handler trying to maintain the illusion of neutrality.

🛑 Stop deflecting.
🛑 Stop enabling.
🛑 Start holding these platforms accountable.

If Stake.com can’t issue refunds or take responsibility for deposits they directly facilitated, they should NOT be operating in India — period.
