This goes to remind me of why I steer away from KYC casinos.
You have a good casino with some entertaining games. However, trying to take advantage of this situation doesn't look good.
You don't need these devious tactics to promote your casino. It could backfire!
Stake is a licensed casino and they are compelled to enforce kyc. It's not like they want to do it.. for fun. They are losing many users because of this but they don't have any other option.

Disclaimer: l0tt0 is not my website

Anyway, participating in discussion isn't taking advantage of anything. I simply gave my personal opinion. I personally would not want to risk my money when I see posts like these.

KYC is not the problem. The problem is that it leads to these questionable situations. If what OP says is true, Stake is asking for much more than just regular KYC and is also not accepting the documents they have provided. Thus, in my eyes, withholding their funds for no reason.

There could be something we don't know why Stake is doing this but just based on what OP has said, it looks pretty bad. That is why it would be great if a Stake representative gave an update.

This case of yours is quite Strange , because I have seen the stake.com thread and they reward their winners, 6 thousand dollars is a large amount but for this casino it is not so much, who knows why they do not give you quick Verification , maybe Maybe there is something that does not add up, in any case this is not a scam , because in a casino that for 6 Thousand Dollars would not throw a whole ´Problem like that, what I see that they are taking all this is because they need to verify that you are you, and it's not the casino , perhaps the requirements of the license is what means that they can't give you the money until they verify Everything and they don't believe that this is money laundering or something like that , I Don't see any other Reason.

This thread has had over a 1000 views. Hopefully the loss of this money hasnt been for nothing.

Hoping for those that still play at stake are keeping their balance low.

This is interesting.

Unless there's something we don't know regarding this case, it makes me second-guess Stake's practices. A reply from an official representative would be pretty nice.

The fact that they ask physical documents on top of what has already been provided is pretty absurd to me. I used to be a very active PrimeDice player and then Stake before all of the KYC stuff and everything worked very well. Just a while ago a thought crossed my mind whether or not I would even dare to make a deposit to Stake without having to worry about being forced to give documents.

        -   Your experience with the stakes OP is actually annoying, only the driver's license and passport are very valid documents compared to the bills which are irrelevant to his gambling. Those billings are the only ones that can be considered secondary.

So, from what I've seen, the stakes seem to be disappointing, as if they are the ones who are making a way to prevent you from withdrawing the money you want to withdraw from their platform. Actually, I've seen this kind of cistomer service on other platforms, it's not just a gambling site platform, instead it's a local wallet platform.

Recently stake behavior have not been favorable to the players and the way their terms of service are constantly updated with trickier rules that only favor the casino, where there decide what happens how, and when, this has become a bad operational manner that stake need to look into, the stake has a large community base users and with that, the only compensation to the customers for the loyalty is fair judgment and user-friendly operation.

If people doesn't like their latest behavior due to their updates didn't favor to their user maybe they should voice out their sentiments and post it on their thread. For sure Stake management would listen about what their community members suggest or discuss since they might lose loyal supporters if they don't listen to other sides. Stake management need to see if they are bit strict on their implementation since if there's many accusation posted regarding Kyc issues or any related to that then maybe this might create huge trouble to their operation.
I've seen some threads that talks about stake being one of the best online casinos and if so I don't think they'll deliberately want to frustrate a customer and requesting for too much document without any fault from them, I'm not here to put blames on a party involved as a customer yoi should know that going against a businesses policy would attract some implications therefore it's in the customers best interests to avoid any act that could attract harsh punish by the business owners.
 However If a customer have done the necessary requirements and submitted every required documents by a platform for prove of identity or ownership, and is still having issues then maybe it could be that they're not performing the right task or a poor customer services in reviewing the documents therefore I agree that voicing out their faults or poor services on threat in the forum could attract their attention and help sort out that particular issue

I think a video call would be the best way to further pass that long verification process. It's frustrating on Op's end knowing that he has gone through a lot of processes and they're still asking for more documents. A proof of billing, IDs and selfies would be enough to know that the customer is the rightful owner of the account.
I think to finish things off, Op has to do the last 3 months stamped bill to pass this and if they will still ask for more I think that would be really too much and beyond the real essence of KYC. We all know that they also want to secure their site from fraudsters yet it will also be unfair if Op has played responsibly and spent money to play on their site.
This should be okay and I think there's no other thing needed unless they request that video call to confirm the identity of OP, its really frustrating if the case is true and someone ask for more requirements eventhough he already provide all necessary needed on the whole Kyc Process. For the readers to get satisfied with the answer and they will not get only one sided answer better for casino representative to come on this thread and explain if case is true and why they ask that long Kyc process.
I don't really think that a representative will actually show up here and clear the things up because this is not a case where they refused to pay the gambler but they have asked for extra verification, though I believe that they shouldn't do this for an amount of just $6k which isn't that much, but they must have their reasons for doing that. Casinos that are reputable generally do these things and ask for extra verification only when they find something unusual.

If Stake's forum representative takes notice of the case and confirms about it first and then clear things out in this thread, that will make things clear from their side and the public would come to know that they are not doing something bad and they are just following their KYC rules and regulations.

OP why are you not providing the required documents for the to process your request, don't you know thst as long as you make use of a kyc casino, they will definitely request for your identity and some information about you, you're the one delaying yourself here i think because they cannot shift ground for you except you comply with them, giving me them just your electric bill or other required documents shouldn't be a difficult task to you, maybe next time you will learn not to use a kyc casino and choose the ones that don't request for such.
The OP gave all these bills, bank statements - everything the Stake support asked as i understand. If he tells us the truth - i don`t see any problems with KYC - he gave enough information for it. The moment i`m interested in is why @stunna doesn`t post here, he usually answer when someone has problems with the Stake.
PS. The easiest way to KYC in such situation - video call. In such verification the OP can show his ID and bills.

I was in such situation twice and both times all the problem with KYC were decided with videocall. The support wrote what data i had to prepare before the call. During the call they asked me to show my id, some bills, asked several easy questions about gambling. I spent about a week fighting with the support, until we decided to make video KYC. After this decision it took 2 days to the end of KYC.

Was this with stake? Happy to do a video call.

Still no word from stake reps.

Ive got two months worth of digital electronic invoices now. Will lodge next month when the third comes through.

This whole thing is so silly....
Well, the whole experience and wait must be very frustrating doubt, but like Cryptoheadlinenews said, you are the one holding your self and your funds hostage, I don't mean this in a rude way so please don't misinterpret me, stake rep already told you the kind of document they need to have your account pass the level 4 kyc requirement, which as we all have learned is your only ticket for you to be able to withdraw your funds, what other words are you expecting from them actually? submit what they asked you to submit and let it be that they did not answer you, then that will be a different thing to discuss altogether.

For now , all I can say is just wish you luck, and also remind you that casinos are ever ready to take your money if you give them the reason to, so have this in mind and do all you can to get what is required to get your funds back.

For me, I think the solution to your problem have already been given to you by the representative of Stake casino which you chatted with on the screenshot you provided at the home page of this thread (i.e asking for your stamped water, gas or electricity bill of up to 3 months old), which you are yet to provide. Because it's left for you to do the needful, and when "Stake casino" fails to correspond, then we will all side by you, rather than refusing and wanting forum members to start having doubt about Stake.com, which has proven to be one of the best and most reliable casino presently.

Check this below, as I wish to see you comply and give us positive feedback anytime soon

You can use one of the following documents to verify your address:
 * Utility bill ( electricity, water, gas or rent bill )
Bank or credit card statement (in some cases bank statement cannot be used)
 * Council tax, municipality bill or government tax letter.
