Sorry guys but I don't know what you are still arguing about! It's obvious that OP has been scammed but it appeared that stake has nothing to do with this scam. What are you still arguing about?
I'm not going to read the replies on the past eight pages but am sure this topic doesn't deserve such attention
. OP should change the topic's title to make it more appropriate as stake has nothing to do with whatever happened to him.

As long it woudnt be locked by OP then expect that replies and responses would really continue to flow into this thread on which it isnt something new and totally really just that normal for most threads which even if the issue is obviously not that really needed to be discussed about but still responses would really come into flow. So better to ignore such thread and it would be somewhat
pointless on telling op considering that Last Active: September 19, 2023, 10:58:46 PM based up on profile.

Speaking about phishing then i dont see for someone to have the rights on telling about or putting up the blame into the platform just because someone does have
some access into his account? It is really that totally on users responsibility on keeping his account safe and putting yourself making some inputs on an obvious
phishing link, then who would be on their right minds and having that common sense would be clicking that thing?

BTC so been playing on stake for 3 years.
Last Sunday my balance went from 8 k to 10k I got phishing mail and I clicked thinking it was legit bonus as I was nearing level up.

I was phished and my funds were gambled on 3 bets.
I was surprised why hacker didn't cashout. May be 2FA.

But biggest surprise was phishing link received after certain amount reached. Could hacker potentially be scanning wallet and only trying to scam for bigger account?

Could they be getting too much success that they just decide to act only after certain amount level is reached.

I wont doubht that because I am not the first one being phished and funds stolen/misused. I see time to time victims and stake does not try to improve its security or they don't care about their players at all.

After loosing funds I was so angry and try every avenue to acknowledge Eddie and their tech support but I havent even gotten 1 reply from them yet.

Just venting and warning other users that stake.com is not safe and more certainly they don't care if their security is poor. They will just say account security is players responsibility.

Be safe out there and try to avoid suck irresponsible site.

Peace .

I think you also have a lack of agreement with the casino experience you claim here in this section. Because you have been playing in that casino for 3 years, don't say that you don't know what these phishing hackers' methods are for their victims like you.

That probably happened because you clicked on a link in the email you used at that casino. Of course, the accountability in that case is really on you and no casino anymore because you are the only one who has access to the email and not the casino gambling platform. You may not have noticed that the link you entered is actually a phishing link that you thought was actually the admin of the casino platform. I hope that will be a lesson for you, and there is nothing we can do but move on.

I heard the same story in the chatroom just months ago and it's almost the same scenario as yours. He was also attacked by a phishing scheme through e-mail and I am actually shocked that it does happen. The hacker used the monthly bonus event and luckily the gambler was too doubtful about the mail that he received so he asked in the chatroom first before opening it. A good moderator answered him and urged the gambler to check the mail thoroughly and not click any links if it looked fishy. The gambler was honest that he already received his monthly bonus so there's no way he will receive another and the moderator agreed with him because there ain't an update that a 2nd monthly bonus was given.
But do imagine a gambler who badly needs the money? I bet he will click anything. And the surprising part is they really looked like Stake.com's e-mail so guys better be careful especially if you are a high VIP rank, there will be a lot of evil intentions hiding in the shadows that will try to hack you.

That is what makes phishing so dangerous, when you are not expecting anything from a casino, exchange, bank or any institution where you keep some of your money then it is easy to spot the email with the phishing link, but when you are waiting for some communication to happen then it is easy to assume such an email comes from the correct source and click it without thinking about it, just last month I have received several of those emails from scammers trying to get into my bank account, but luckily I have spotted each one of them without any problem.

I don’t know what’s really suspicious about it, some user is being targeted for phishing and that’s it. Now the point of wonder is who is at the end of all these phishing mails, whose the jacket here; is it stakes or some rogue officials within its ranks of any (which I don’t want to believe as stakes have proven to be fair and bigger than petty theft) or it’s the work of some out of the box hackers.

Suspicious is that the user has been accused and was online even last active today but the user has had no update on the topic for about months and the user has locked the topic without any update. Why anyone will lock the thread without any update?

You have a very good point here bud, sure the attitude of the user is suspicious.
And answering to what Smartvirus said, there is no way Stake them self will engage in such petty stuff, Like I believe I have said here before, if at all the claim of the user is true, then I personally stand on what i have said before on this thread, and that is that, its likely the handiwork of some rogues in the stake team engaging themselves in sending out such phishing emails to users they have seen to have a nice sum on their stake account.

How much is $10k to $20k us dollars compared to what Stake makes every day as profit, that they should engage in such things as trying to scam their users?.

The point is that, we should choose between ignoring the ops or continued to present him with contending facts as it exempt stake from the phishing that he accused stake of, this is very easy to achieve in our own end but I don't know how serious the ops is to stake up a bet with me.

That if he has any genuine problems and complains about stake, and if yes then he should approach the who.

Yeah, I think stake faced an hacking attack and its hot wallets was compromised and lost almost $41M because of the hack. The hack took place in September 4 and mainly its ETH/BSC hot wallets were compromised. The Stake is really an awesome gambling site without any doubt and they'll try their best to help their users as much as they possibly can. I believe that it's one of the best online casinos who have and it'll always be on top 10 list. I don't know why they decreased your odd limit on sportsbook as that seems a little bit suspicious but overall they have been doing well in online gambling sphere.

I don't know if any reputed site had been hacked or not. I think this is the first time a gambling site become hacked and lost a lot of funds. Regarding the lower odd limit, they said they have nothing to do and it had been made by the game provider.

In case we don't know, it is our responsibility for us to make sure that we avoid unsolicited links and be very careful because we don't know when we are going to get message from hackers claiming to be part of the team. Those that had been hacked in one way or the order is there responsibility and we don't have to always blame casino for nothing. If he never clicked on any link, this might not have happened at all but it is also good when a casino has a strong security that would protect gamblers from getting there accounts compromised easily.

I recommend that you use a backup email if you register an account for each site, so don't worry about random incoming messages in your email inbox, it is recommended that you delete email messages or block emails that send spam messages.

Backup email can't save us because if we click on a phishing link and/or download anything that is phishing then we will be hacked. And if we hack the the hacker may get all the site info if we save it on our browser. But if we use a separate browser then they might not be able to access that browser.

That's right, backup emails are used to register accounts on random sites, but we should ignore any unnecessary inbox messages, including phishing messages. The function of backup emails is to avoid phishing messages because we rarely access our email inbox.

However, a careless user accesses random messages without knowing that there are messages that are indicated as phishing and he downloads a virus application that can hack information in the browser and hack data on the PC. The solution to prevent this problem is to increase your PC's security protection and you can add an additional trusted anti-virus application that can detect viruses by scanning the source code of each application. By default, Windows users have antivirus on their system to prevent phishing/virus applications.

Whenever you are registering for a gambling site then it would really be that always ideal that you should really be that making use of a new account which is really that only intended or for the sake of gambling on which there's no way that you should really be making use of your main email account and this is what im doing so that if ever those emails would be exploited or would scattered out then it wont really be
flooding out your email with those phishing emails or whatsoever that you would be able to recieve. Also having you own gambling email then if you are really that mindful about new offerings or events on having those email letters or notifications then it isnt bad to check. The only thing that you should bare up into your mind is that you shouldnt really be carelessly clicking on whatever links that been shown out.
If ever it do came from a legit email then always double or even triple check on the source whether it do came from original one or not. Its really up to a certain person on how they would really be minding
much about security.

So far we have only seen the Stake.com being hacked and lost so huge amount of money from their wallets. But after searching on Google I found that Primedice was also hacked but it was hacked by a user of the platform I guess. They have lost $1 million due to that member who found that bug in the game Roll dice and the name of the user was Hufflepuff.

If game provider has reduced the odd limit then I think that's not an issue from Stake's side and they aren't responsible for it but thanks to Stake team for giving users their funds even they have lost $41M which's a huge amount.

Since everything is getting more and more advanced, people who are using email service providers that filter spam emails like Gmail, Hotmail (now Outlook), and any other that uses advanced filters to filter out emails that aren't received from trusted sources will actually save users from a lot of hassle, but some people even fall for the traps after reading emails from the Spam folder in their email dashboard, which they shouldn't do because emails in that folder are generally not trusted.

Not all email messages from untrusted sources can be filtered in the spam folder, some spam messages or phishing messages are avoided by the system's verification scanning process. We must know the difference between messages from official sources and phishing messages because without knowledge we will access all the random links of inbox messages.

I recommend that you use a backup email if you register an account for each site, so don't worry about random incoming messages in your email inbox, it is recommended that you delete email messages or block emails that send spam messages.

It is true that some time ago Stake was hacked but now it is running normally and there is nothing to worry about because the team will also do their best so that the hack does not cause customers to suffer losses.
Regarding fake emails we can actually immediately distinguish them if we have been customers of Stake for long time because it is impossible for Stake to send email messages that might seem suspicious.

Now we can go back to playing and betting in complete comfort so don't hesitate to come back and play there.

Sorry, but I have seen and come to know from your post that the stake had been hacked. At the same time came to know everything was okay and the fund of the customer was safe. Though stake decreased my odd limit on sportsbook yet I think it is one of the best gambling site.

Stake has already built a good reputation, and even though they were recently hacked, they are still operational now.

What happened to you is not the fault of Stake; there are a lot of hackers out there. You should know how to determine if an email is legitimate or not. Of course, phishing links are very popular, but there's always a way to verify if the email is genuine or just an attempt to hack you. As a gambler with a significant amount of money in your account, it's essential to educate yourself on ways to protect your funds wisely.

Stake is leading crypto casino that has been running for several years and now they have managed to have a very good reputation with customer trust so high that every customer does not need to worry about the security that Stake provides to every customer because customer comfort and security is priority the main.

It is true that some time ago Stake was hacked but now it is running normally and there is nothing to worry about because the team will also do their best so that the hack does not cause customers to suffer losses.
Regarding fake emails we can actually immediately distinguish them if we have been customers of Stake for long time because it is impossible for Stake to send email messages that might seem suspicious.

Now we can go back to playing and betting in complete comfort so don't hesitate to come back and play there.

Stake has always been amongst the world leading online crypto casino so far and I believe by now they must have fixed up the mess of the hack they experienced in the past with high sophisticated security apparatus to protect their users and their casino as well. This casino is a casino I know that does not really take the safety and security of their users and assets for granted. As everyone has his or her own interest, so stake does and their users are their number one priority when it gets to rendering quality services.

As for messages, every user of the platform can be able to decipher between a fake and scammy email from the original or better still if one doubts the authenticity of an email together with the originality, one is free to contact the customer care for further information because that is the only option to explore it in knowing the authenticity of the email they have received.

One of reason why its hard to believe that they are willing to compromise their users for certain small amount while they can earn a lot of revenue from their operation so there's no relevance regarding on those claims since many knows that Stake is spending a lot of money just to increase their traffics and revenue. Maybe those people claiming that they are been scam are been found out guilty for the abuse they made on their casino and they can't accept the fact that they are been restricted due to that reasons.

To many reminders about those shady email and if they receive a deceiving mail claiming something that they can avail something unrealistic profit shares coming from them or any bonuses then they must verify it to the right supports to know the legitimacy of the email they got and avoid to be a victim of phising or scamming.

One receiving an email from a scammer should be able to verify the genuity of their email first before engaging. Possibly to be that they are not dealing with the wrong persons and to be on the safe side, after verifying the mail to not be from the genuine source, they should delete and block the sender domain and they would not receive any mail from them any further.

Lastly I do not think cheap black mailers can be able to distract stake from rendering services as the ought to because stake is far bigger than them to talk about. People crying of being scammed possibly tailed to fulfill their own path of agreement and that must have held them down. So I think they should go clear their names than crying foul.

@OP you can provide the information given with your phishing, so other members here are aware because we know Stake is one of the active casinos here so it is good that other players using their platform must see this potential warning if there's a cyber security person where they can check whats the phishing really is, reason don't too much confident with the links given most likely in the internet @OP you have a budget why not buy another layer of security like anti-virus.

Also, tips for newbies to avoid phishing:

Check the email or domain of the sender to identify if it's coming from a legit website, always check the characters sometimes they make small changes like the same letter but have different characters (eg. [original Stake, [character changes] Stàke, Stȁke)
Check the body of the content
Dont entertain email that you didn't commit anything with your account

Always use the security feature given by the platform you are using to prevent your account from getting compromised.

Since everything is getting more and more advanced, people who are using email service providers that filter spam emails like Gmail, Hotmail (now Outlook), and any other that uses advanced filters to filter out emails that aren't received from trusted sources will actually save users from a lot of hassle, but some people even fall for the traps after reading emails from the Spam folder in their email dashboard, which they shouldn't do because emails in that folder are generally not trusted.

I know that sometimes emails from trusted sources may also fall under the Spam category but that's very rare. That's why, people should first use email services that has such features and then they shouldn't click on any random link they received through email unless they are 100% sure that it's from a trusted source.

The tips you shared are good, but you should have just gone straight to that, no point mentioning Op since he or she stopped being active here since September 19th, today is already October 13th, this means that its just a few day from today and it will be one full month since the op last logged in here.

Its just like what i talked about in my previous comment, if you notice, OP didn't share any thing or information here to prove that indeed, his or her stake account was hacked and his or her money stolen, and his absents here already is a pointer to the fact that this could be a made up story after all, for if indeed, his or her account was hacked as he claimed, he or she would be active here fighting to see if he can get his money back, $10k dollars isn't that a small amount of money to move away from so easily, this is my personal believe though, since I don't know how rich the op is.
