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.
