...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 LetNPCI’s get this 100% straight:official guidelines:
Under the
"The end-user customer can raise a complaint with respect to a UPI transaction for both fund transfer & merchant transactions." 
(
officialNPCI: UPI Dispute Redressal Guidelines issued by NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India), )

itIt is the responsibility of the MERCHANT or RECEIVING PLATFORM (in this case, Stake.com) to assist with failed oraddress uncredited or failed UPI transactions — NOTnot the payment processor or 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 Read it yourself (NPCI Official):chose to offer UPI as a deposit method.
    https://www.npci.org.in/what-we-do/upi/dispute-redressal-mechanism
  • Stake facilitated the transaction via shady, unauthorized third-party vendors.
  • Stake advertised UPI deposits to Indian users to avoid regulatory scrutiny and KYC.
    The claim that
  • Stake is just a “restaurant” in this scenario and the bank handles the rest is flat-out false and dangerously misleadingreceived the funds through those channels. This kind of narrative enables fraud by shielding the real beneficiaries of the stolen transaction.
  • But now Stake claims they “didn’t receive” the money and tells the user to go chase banks?

Stake facilitated the transactionThat’s not “standard procedure.” That’s fraud disguised as fintech convenience.
Stake promoted UPI on their deposit page.
Stake got the money (through their shady thirdThis isn’t a failed swipe at a coffee shop — this is illegal, cross-party partner)border online gambling using unauthorized payment channels, hiding behind silence and technical deflection.
And now Stake is denying responsibility?
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 No legitimate business operates this way.solely This isn’t a failed swipe at a coffee shop — this is cross-border crypto gambling disguised as a financial transaction, and it’s being buried under bureaucratic lies to pipe money to Stake.
  • Millions, maybe billions, have been routed this way — off the books.

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

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