What happened::

Stake.com presents this very clear message in their VIP section:
"Reclaim your VIP Host benefits by playing actively. Wager $50,000 within 30 days..."

Screenshots:

If you hover with the mouse over the 'i' icon there you would see this as well:

There is no disclaimer or condition on the interface suggesting this only applies to Platinum IV users.

Reference Link:

Displayed on their VIP status interface

Amount Scammed:

Undisclosed - the issue is not a monetary scam per se, but a misleading system that tricks users into wagering large amounts under false pretenses.

11:23 PM | me: Can I ask how do I reclaim my VIP host now that I wagered $50k ?

11:24 PM | Nikita from Stake.com: Hi there.

Thank you for reaching out.

Allow me a moment, please.

11:36 PM | Nikita from Stake.com: In order to get VIP host again, you will have to reach Platinum IV.

In case you have other questions, please let us know.

11:37 PM | me: [Image "image.png?expires=1749509100&signature=910c577a4485ee080a5306eae5db702af39a3ecab7cd15cda5153ce44ea95cbf&req=dSUhFcl3n4VbXvMW1HO4zTXJWlQ5jMjzG59mp1vyMKbwhUElCGZ%2BWiuokWup%0AwNIq9vFGSO8SJrLueRA%3D%0A"]

11:37 PM | me: This is from your screen, "Reclaim your VIP Host" - it's in the VIP window. I've wagered in order to reach it - please don't tell me this is misleading?

11:38 PM | me: [Image "image.png?expires=1749509100&signature=da1e2682c285a1b4e59e1175359db55874701fe9c7e19fb3c5ff03d6c146a3ab&req=dSUhFcl3noRXWPMW1HO4zUkPR7WJ7fkNZMmdpxwIrzRIEhCXv0hDsj9ukaq2%0AScnLW2%2F7S95DsCnwL6E%3D%0A"]

11:39 PM | me: Check what the 'i' for information states:
Reclaim your VIP Host benefits by playing actively.
Wager $50,000 within 30 days, and you'll get back host offerings and perks.
You will also receive your host back if you level up to any level above Platinum 4.
Note the language "You will also receive through P4" also - but it also clearly states black & white the option of wagering $50k.

11:45 PM | Nikita from Stake.com: Allow me a few moments, please.⏳

11:55 PM | Nikita from Stake.com: In order to have a personal VIP host, you must achieve Platinum IV rank.

Previously, accounts created in 2020 were eligible for a VIP host at level 3 platinum. However, this requirement has been updated and now requires reaching level 4.

We recommend reaching platinum IV to receive your VIP host.

11:55 PM | me: But I shared with you what the screen shows

11:55 PM | me: Is this information incorrect?

11:59 PM | Nikita from Stake.com: This information is not incorrect, it is just intended for Platinum IV users. However, since your account previously had a VIP host while you were still at Platinum III, it does not apply to you.

You will have to reach Platinum IV in order to get your personal VIP host.

11:59 PM | me: That's not right, I was relying on what the screen showed

11:59 PM | me: You see it very clearly in the screen when you click on VIP, that's misleading

12:05 AM | Nikita from Stake.com: In the past, users who created accounts in 2020 were able to receive a VIP host at level 3 platinum. However, this requirement has been changed and now requires reaching level 4.

Please note that the information on screenshot that you've sent only applies to users at Platinum IV. Since your account previously had a VIP host when you were at Platinum III, it does not apply to you.

Hope this was helpful.

12:06 AM | me: I understand policies may have changed, but your VIP screen currently and clearly says:
"Reclaim your VIP Host benefits by playing actively. Wager $50,000 within 30 days..."
Nowhere does it state “Platinum IV only.” I wagered under the impression that this applied to me, as there was no disclaimer.
If the intention is truly different, I’d expect the platform to update the message to avoid misleading users.
I’m not asking for anything unreasonable - just what your interface advertised. Please escalate this to someone who can address it properly.

12:07 AM | ZeljkoNi from Stake.com: Hello there, I will take it over from here.

Allow me a moment to check.

12:13 AM | ZeljkoNi from Stake.com: I understand your concern, but sadly, there is nothing that we can do in this case, you will need to reach the Platinum 4 VIP rank to receive a VIP host.

Additional Notes:

This is a very STRAIGHTFORWARD SCAM ACCUSATION.

Stake is scamming their loyal users who might think if they wager $50,000 within 30 days they would reclaim their VIP host even without reaching the next level but in reality - they don't honor what their screen is showing clearly, that's a scam and it's extremely hard to understand why they choose this course of action, instead of honoring what they promise in a clear cut on their screen.

Only after pressing them did they reveal this hidden policy.
This is false advertising at best, and intentional manipulation at worst.
