Topic: "Stake Exposed: Fraud, Bonus Theft, and Bank Freezes – A Warning to All! (Read 302 times)

Nope, Casino Guru is another fraud. They rejected my Stake complaint for no reasons.  



It’s disappointing to see anyone, knowingly or otherwise, defending Stake—an enterprise that thrives on deception, exploits legal loopholes, and leaves countless victims in financial and emotional turmoil. Here's why your stance raises serious concerns:  

Stake is a Criminal Empire  
Stake’s business model revolves around unethical and illegal practices:  

• Operating Illegally: Stake is illegal in numerous countries, including its home base, Australia. They exploit jurisdictions like Curacao, known for weak enforcement, to continue their operations globally.
• Rigged Systems: Many users, including myself, have presented evidence of statistically impossible outcomes in their games, including blackjack and slots. These aren't baseless accusations—they’re backed by detailed data and patterns observed across thousands of bets.
• Exploitation of Minors: Through platforms like Kick.com, Stake targets younger audiences with flashy streams and fake influencers, luring them into gambling with fabricated wins and "play money."

 

Silencing Critics and Suppressing Evidence  

• Account Freezes Without Consent: My bank account was frozen due to deposits made to Stake via a third-party vendor. Stake has since refused to provide a clear explanation or assistance.
• VIP Manipulation: They dangle monthly bonuses as a carrot, only to nerf or withhold them without cause, forcing players to beg for what they’re promised.
• Forum Censorship: Stake routinely deletes user complaints from their forums and locks threads that expose their malpractices.

 

Impact on Victims  
This isn't just about me; Stake's practices have harmed countless individuals:  

• Financial Ruin: Players lose significant amounts due to rigged games and unclear rules.
• Emotional Distress: The predatory practices leave people feeling betrayed, silenced, and helpless.
• Potential Criminal Ties: Their activities even raise questions about connections to illicit operations, such as funding linked to North Korea's Lazarus Group.

 

A Call for Accountability  
Platforms like Duelbits and Stake are vastly different. While Duelbits has clear monthly and other bonus structure,  I was singled out on their freebie fridays, which I used to enjoy that feature when I was pretty active.

Stake operates like a mafia: rigging games, targeting vulnerable users, and silencing critics. By supporting them, you align with exploitation.  

If you trust Stake despite all this evidence, I hope you’re not turning a blind eye for personal gain. Stay informed. The victims of Stake's manipulations deserve better.  

Final Note: I will continue to expose these practices, not for "conspiracy theories" but for accountability and justice. It’s time to stand on the side of truth, not profits.

Do you always have problem with casinos? To be honest Stake is one of the some platforms that I trust. Since you forwarded the case to Casino Guru, hopefully no matter what outcome they bring, you will be happy.

Let me make this crystal clear for you and anyone else trying to derail the discussion:

Duelbits Review Removed: I have deliberately removed my review and related threads about Duelbits. The matter is now being handled directly by Casino Guru, a more neutral and professional platform for dispute resolution.

Stake Puppets: I won’t allow Stake puppets like you to derail genuine conversations with baseless comparisons and misinformation. Stake is in an entirely different category—a criminal enterprise, as evidenced by their illegal practices, mishandling of funds, and refusal to address legitimate concerns. Comparing Duelbits to Stake is like comparing an apple to a rotten, worm-infested fruit.

Stake's Abuses: For the record, Stake has:

Frozen my bank account through third-party vendor mismanagement.
Nerfed my bonuses and eventually excluded me without reason when I raised legitimate concerns.
Ignored my repeated emails and refused to provide full transparency regarding my account data, even violating KYC protocols.
For Interested Readers: If you're truly interested in uncovering the realities of Stake and similar platforms, I suggest following these threads:

Stake and their defenders can keep spinning narratives, but the truth won’t go away. The focus is now on real resolution, and I will not waste time entertaining derailing tactics anymore.

This is my final clarification – take it or leave it.

They are nowhere near a premium partner of trustpilot since they only have 187 reviews.
And by the way, the review of OP is online and visible, so there is that!
https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/6752134f61f90f52932c911e
He basically copy/pasted the same nonsense he posted here, especially the nonsense about the unfair bonus distribution, even though it was explained to him before already. And yeah, his house edge blackjack nonsense of course is also still in it, stilling understanding how house edge on BJ works. 
So all the complaining and conspiracy theories yet again for nothing, as always. Also, he has 1 single review on the site, of course they would not post it immediately but check it first, that's standard for reviews by fresh accounts.  

Same old, complain first, check later.

For the original slots they should have a Provable fair tool otherwise this is a bad marketing. For the slots those are provided by providers providing the provable fair tool should be providers responsibility. 

I don't trust Trustpilot and platforms like them. All are scams they only allow the reviews that will make them money. Is Duelbits their premium customer like paying for membership?

I am not updated about it but in the past I seen some game providers had tools to verify probable fair games outcome. Don't they have such tools?

Shows how clueless you are, you don't even know how the house edge (vig) at sports betting works.
Also, of course you are talking slots all of the sudden, while the rest of the time you ONLY talk about micro house edge games like BJ and so on. Trying to bend the narrative but still you end up on the clueless side, tells a lot about you.
So in short yes, sports is STILL higher than 5-6%, haha.
Take under/over odds alone, where you bet like result A over 100.5 points vs result B under 100.5 points.
Odds range from 1.8 - 1.9 mostly. So this bet has a 50% chance to win basically, yet the odds are only 1.8-1.9 instead of 2. Basically it's the same as dice, where you bet over or under 50 and your odds are 1.98, making a house edge of 1%.
See the difference? 1.98 to win a 50/50 bet compared to 1.8-1.9 for a 50/50 bet. Same is for your beloved blackjack game, and thats what we are talking about here, not your slots all of the sudden. 1% BJ HE vs 5-10% sports HE. And you still wonder why the rewards are higher?

I hope you can calculate the rest yourself and now understand why sports betting has a higher house edge -> higher rewards.  

Here is some self study help for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigorish

Your claim that I asked “How is there a house edge at sports?” is not true!

My question to AHOYBRAUSE always was and is "why sports pays WAY more in rewards than casino?"

Your pre edited message wrote = “How is there a house edge at sports?” ; and I explained it. Hence I wrote “uninformed . I have seen you have edited that message, good for yoı.

For the Duelbits part,as I said before; you can easily ask them the house edge their provider uses on their sportsbook.

Best.

You claim that I am wrong here, but you are not able to explain why or at what I am wrong?


Where am I wrong?

A) It is true that rewards are basically paid on the house edge, but why sports pays WAY more in rewards than casino?

B) Casino has slots with a 5 or 6% house edge, but if sports pays WAY more in rewards, that means the house edge in sports is WAY more than 5 or 6%?

C) How much is the house edge at sports?

Hello,

I am not taking any sides in this don’t get me wrong. What I gave was an example of a %5 house edge. As the other commentor said if it’s %7 it means it would be 1.86 in this equation. I honestly don’t know the house edge of sports in duelbits; I advice you to look what sports odd provider they use. All of these sites have ‘providers’ for odds in sports.

Best.

1) AHOYBRAUSE says house edge at sportsbook is WAY more than casino slots.

2) I say house edge at casino slots is around 5 to 6%.

3) You say house edge at sportsbook is 5%.

Where am I wrong?

Why are you opening exposure posts without getting scammed? is my question.

You are wrong at here, or let’s say uninformed. Sports has a high percentage of house edge.

Let’s say there is a basketball match with two teams having equal chance to win statistically.

Their odd’s should be 2.00 - 2.00 (incl. overtime) right?

But what does oddsprovider do? They make it 1.90 - 1.90

That erased 0.10 is the house edge which the casino takes on every bet.

You are destined to lose in the long run.

Duelbits bonuses are transparent, it completely depends on your wager and the house edge of the game you play. Is the other user have wagered on the same game always like you? It is just stupidity to do the comparison of rewards if you guys aren't playing the same game. BTW, haven't you made any withdrawal from Duelbits in these 3 years? You are considering all your deposits as loses to calculate the house edge .

The RTP remains between 94% to 98% in the majority of the slots game. Slots with 7% to 10% house edge are rarely played by the users. For the sportsbook, the house edge usually stays between 5% to 10%. I can see that Duelbits sportsbook house edge is 7% on average.

It is true that rewards are basically paid on the house edge, but why sports pays WAY more in rewards than casino?

Casino has slots with a 5 or 6% house edge, but if sports pays WAY more in rewards, that means the house edge in sports is WAY more than 5 or 6%?

How much is the house edge at sports?

Not taking any side but the reward comparison with a different player is useless. Rewards are paid based on games played ( height of house edge ). Wagering 500k on sports pays WAY more in rewards than wagering the same amount in the casino.

Also "- Would be Platinum 3 tier on legitimate sites", which site, other than stake, do you mean? Because you accuse stake of the same thing, don't you?
Funny that after all this time you still don't understand how house edge with blackjack works.   You alternate betting amounts, you double down, you split, you push, this all comes into play.

And yes, of course results are pre determined, that what the seed and nonce is there for.

Why the need to DM you for the evidence package? All you posted here is just hearsay until you posted screenshots and transaction links that will verify your allegations; you just posted all what you got there so the representative can address the issue properly.
The burden of proof is on your side since you posted this allegation. I consider your post story telling until you back it up with proofs.

I had to delete this thread because individuals like AHOYBRAUSE are derailing the conversation by comparing Duelbits to Stake. Let me be absolutely clear: while I’ve wagered millions of dollars on both platforms, the comparison is absurd. Duelbits and Stake are as different as night and day—or more aptly, as different as a fresh apple and a rotten one.

Stake is a criminal enterprise masquerading as a casino. My experience with them has been nothing short of appalling:

They froze my bank account due to their involvement with shady third-party vendors.
They self-excluded my accounts without any valid reason.
Their KYC and support teams outright ignored my repeated requests for complete account statistics.
Worst of all, they shamelessly stole my monthly bonuses and refuse to respond to my emails.
For anyone still shilling Stake on this thread: you’re either blind to the truth or deliberately enabling their predatory practices. You’re doing a disservice to victims by promoting a platform riddled with fraud and manipulation.

On the other hand, Duelbits, despite its flaws, has always maintained a direct line of communication. I’ve been able to resolve issues by working directly with their head of support—a level of accountability that Stake could never match.

I will take this matter to platforms like Casino Guru to address these issues in a more controlled environment where Stake’s apologists and puppets can’t hijack the narrative.

To Stake and its enablers: Consider this your warning. The era of silence is over. Every fraudulent practice and every ignored email will be exposed with evidence. Clean up your act, or be prepared for the consequences.

Thank you.
