I read the post earlier today, but only managed to compose a reply just now. OP, I'm glad that your case meet a happy ending. The neighboring case where the player also had to went through rigorous KYC doesn't end well. They investigated your account after he passed KYC and found a "breach".

As other said, please mark this as resolved and lock this thread. I'll update the list with this current development. If I may also suggest... perhaps stay a good kilometer away from Stake for a while?

was this really resolved though? i got my money but i also want answers from stake why they do this to me.

Man, it's been six months since you started this thread and Stake hasn't replied. I think Stake presence here in bitcointalk isn't their priority since they have their own forum. Also, you can ask about why they do this to you on chat support when you're resolving this issue. Anyways, if that's what you want, we can't do anything about it. Enjoy your funds.

I'll say that's a fair request. But is that really feasible? You can demand them to explain, rain their support with emails inquiring this, you can perhaps reply to CG [which you haven't, by the way, and they've extended your response time to clarify that you've got your fund] and ask them to ask Stake for explanation, but let's be realistic here, how low is the chance --you think-- Stake will give any answer for this?

Best you can get will mostly a, "it's just a routine random check, players are agreeing to this when they sign up." Will you be satisfied with that? As unfair as it sounds, perhaps even anticlimactic, wouldn't it be better and easier for your mind to just take this as a winning and let it go?

Stake suck, big time, on this case. Many people overseeing this thread are agreed with that. I think it's a consolation enough, because the alternative will be you pursuing a ghost of an answer for an undefined time. So, if I were you, after about half a year of being stressed, walking off with my entire balance in my pocket sounds nice.

yes everyone, i was finally paid!

the amount of documents i provided should have been illegal. what happened here was beyond logic and reason.

i would never deposit a single dime on stake again.

i had to make new bank accounts, credit cards, request special documents from my employer (who was not happy), get into a fight with my landlord, lost countless hours of my life, began to be stressed out at my own family and friends. in retrospect, if i would have known i would have went through this much, i would have told them to just keep the money. i’m dead serious.

very importantly, since this brought me to bitcointalk, i would highly suggest bitcoin talk putting warnings out about using stake to all potential customers. it would be an injustice if they didn’t. everyone associated with stake should distance themselves ASAP.

Do you get any compensation?

Damn, after almost half a year before this case settles. I didn't read the whole thread, is this what you did; you deposited in stake.com and then you wanted to withdraw the deposit immediately? That's what I do on stake.com too sometimes, but they never hold my funds like that. Well, maybe my deposit was just small, that's why lol.

Anyway, you can now edit the thread title or add [Resolved] to the title, then you can also lock this thread since it already resolved.

no. i deposit on stake. place 3 bets. went to withdraw like 10% of my initial deposit and it was locked.

Oh wow, congratulations.
I didn't expect this anytime soon to be honest. Good thing is, you always stayed persistent. Other people might have given up at some point. It's obvious they tried to wear you down for whatever reason.

But glad to see it finally got resolved and you got paid. They should pay interest for this and some restitution for the brainfxxk they performed on you over months.
Well, offer to bigger and better things I hope. Good luck!

PS: Don't lose it all!

Great to see that you got paid! One of the easiest cases that you’ll ever see. There was no reason to make you go through a rigorous interrogation.

POSTED ON APRIL 27, 2024
Dear Sir,

We appreciate your patience during the review of your case. Please be assured that our top priority remains to ensure a secure and compliant environment for all our users.

Furthermore, we are pleased to inform you that the restrictions on your account have been lifted, and you now have full access to the platform.

Should you have any further questions or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Once again, we appreciate your understanding and cooperation throughout this process.

Kind regards,

Even if paid, holding your money for 5+ months and requiring unnecessary documentation is unacceptable especially when Stake can share your information with a third party. You needed help from multiple entities just to get the case settled in 5 months. It was a fishing expedition on the part of Stake.

alright guys, i went and got a letter from my employer and uploaded it last night regardless of the trouble it has caused.

can someone tag the stake employee that posted here? i don’t know how to tag effectively.

Tag as in mentioning them here to let them know of the situation or tag as in leaving them a feedback?

For the former, I was once... well, more than once, actually, informed that their employee who handle this section were taking a close monitoring to any cases and development of cases regarding stake, so you can rest assured that they know about the situation.

For the later, I can give you step by step of how to leave a feedback yourself if you want to, but I will not leave one myself for you. For the time being and from current situation [I am still waiting for their explanation why such complicated document is necessary], that'll be an abuse of DT power from me, for leaving a negative tag [feedback] without strong basis.

https://www.askgamblers.com/casino-complaints/stake-casino-stake-will-not-verify-me-for-a-long-time#complaint_reply_form

they have denied my updated bank statements, payslips, bank letter. they now ask for a letter from my employer. this is beyond outrageous. currently at a loss again.

OP, I think they've crossed a line with this one,

I think they've went from investigation to trying to make things as difficult as they can imagine. Depending on their explanation of your inquiry on AG for why it got rejected, and considering the many unresolved cases against them, I might leave a tag for the time being to warn others to be careful playing on Stake for the time being. I'll be waiting for their response on AG.

This is absolutely insane. Your level 3 verification was approved on March 30. They should pay you your money and close your account if they don't like level 4. This case has nothing to do with money laundering so level 4 is irrelevant as far as being paid.

What would happen to a person that dealt 100% in crypto? Tell them to close the account and pay you.

What should the outcome be if Stake isn't happy with stage 4 verification source of funds?

As much as it exasperate me because they dragged this case for way too long and overcomplicate things, there's no other way to move forward... or backward. As I've explained on other thread for a relatively same inquiry you made, just because Stake is not happy with OP's level 4 KYC, it can't be translated into OP acceptably saying, "Ok, I've had enough, please close my account and send me back my money, I am not going to perform level 4 KYC anymore nor will I play on your platform anymore," and they'll comply.

Stake overcomplicate things and demanded impossible things aside, once the phase been initiated, it has to be seen into completion. Showing betting history and profiling won't do much.

If I may repeat myself, the KYC goes, no matter what.

I am sorry if I misunderstand, but you're addressing that sentence to me? Which bets were this that you gave me so I can contact stake? I don't think I've receive any means of communication from you aside from this thread? Were you contacted by someone pretending to be me?

no sorry i did not address “ i gave this guy my bets. he can contact stake to see if i placed anything else in the last year (my prior bets i lost thousands on stake like 2 years ago)” to you.

i only wished to thank you for being here during all of this.

that quoted sentence was addressed to peeps for questioning my bets.

Ahh... I understand.

Anyway, someone else from neighboring thread with "similar case" as you [I mean he got stuck on KYC verification] managed to get verified, as per his own statement [I can't see it yet on AG], and his case will now goes into the investigation phase where Stake will confirm their suspicions and gather their findings.

I am hoping yours will get verified soon, and then we can get to the real issue of your account.

thanks. once again i hope you understand it has only taken this long to provide documents because my first 10 documents and my 15 selfies were not good enough for some reason that was never clearly stated if you comb through the casino guru thread (whatever they said was made up on the spot, and when i tried to address specifics they ignored me)

I was definitely skeptical until I saw your bets. There doesn't seem to be a reason to multi-account. There's no bonus. The lines don't seem to be off. I only took a quick glance of line history and matched up dates but not exact times since I'm not sure of time zones on ticket and history.

I take a little different approach than most when trying to figure out if someone is multi-accounting. The first thing I try to figure out is why the player would multi-account. Is there any reason to try and cheat the book or break rules.
