Topic: Stake.com Censors Users, Blocks Withdrawals, and Now Steals Monthly VIP Bonuses - page 2. (Read 478 times)

The calculation rules of their bonuses are very opaque afaik, and they change them whenever they want without noticing users because as it is one bonus they consider they don't owe anything towards customers about it and they can give it as they wish, to whoever they want. What Eddie has said according to the post above is quite suprising because usually when they suspect a customer to have several accounts they lock all his funds and they ask him to fulfill an endless KYC procedure as we've seen in many cases here. So if he's true, and one of your picture seems to confirm it, it would mean their multi-account accusations are just excuses used to try to keep funds of those customers actually, it would be serious.

I understand where you’re coming from, and I appreciate the direct question. Let me make it very clear: I have never had any issues or accusations regarding multi-accounting on Stake. I only operate a single account, and any insinuation otherwise is simply not true.

Clarification from Stake Support Itself.

The issue here is not about multi-accounting; it’s about fairness and transparency regarding the bonus system. Stake has been vague and inconsistent about how bonuses are calculated, and users like myself, who have maintained legitimate accounts, are receiving much lower bonuses than expected. The claim that reduced bonuses are tied to multi-account activity is a convenient explanation, but it doesn’t hold up when legitimate users are affected.

If Stake believes there is any irregularity with my account, they should be transparent and provide evidence rather than silently reducing my bonus and censoring my posts. I have no reason to remain silent—I’m here precisely because I want transparency and fair treatment, not just for myself but for everyone affected by these practices.

I believe it's important to scrutinize these issues rather than simply accepting the narrative that anyone receiving a low bonus must have been "found out" for wrongdoing. Let’s focus on holding platforms accountable to treat their users fairly and with transparency.

Short question, have you ever had problem with some sort of multi account accusation on stake? Not accusing you of anything, just asking because some months ago there were some complaints in the stake forum that weekly/monthly bonus has been super low despite high wager/loss and when being asked this on the stake stream as well Eddie said this was supposed to happen to accounts that have been a found out to be multiple accounts.
Some players obviously said stuff like "I only have 1 account" but others became quite silent after that info.

It’s clear now that Stake has no intention of addressing the core issues here, despite the publicity effort made by Symphonized. This feels more like a PR move rather than an actual attempt to resolve the concerns I’ve raised.

As you can see from Aleksandar's response, Stake is refusing to provide any additional amount for my monthly VIP bonus, which contradicts what others have received at similar VIP levels. Even though they claim the bonuses are automatically calculated and “fair,” the disparity in payouts and lack of transparency indicates otherwise.

I appreciate Symphonized notifying the staff team, but without Stake admitting their mistake and addressing these inconsistencies, it looks like nothing will change. This is not about demanding special treatment; it’s about fairness and being treated equally compared to other users.

I've already notified the staff team to review this case

I understand that you're not part of Stake's team, but suggesting that I just "play elsewhere" isn't a solution. I earned Platinum III VIP status through $70,000 in wagers and $2,688 in deposits. I didn't stop wagering, and the $6.57 bonus is nowhere near the base that should be provided. Stake’s failure to honor their VIP program isn’t just about this one incident—it's about a pattern of behavior where they try to avoid accountability. And as for contacting reps, I’ve done that countless times, only to be censored or ignored.


 It’s easy to dismiss my concerns and assume I "got censored" because I was disrespectful. However, I’ve always approached the support team with respect, raising legitimate issues. The truth is, Stake is censoring anyone who dares to call them out. If you take a look at the evidence, you’d see that my allegations about their fraudulent behavior aren't baseless—they’re backed by facts. Stake is involved in promoting UPI deposits in India while not informing users of the legal risks. They've partnered with streamers to promote illegal deposit methods, and minors are also affected. If this isn't enough to raise concerns, I don't know what is.

I get your point, and yes, the bonus is unjustifiably low—I appreciate you acknowledging that. As for why I keep playing, it’s not because I enjoy these issues—it’s because Stake owes me my dues. Ignoring their shady practices and simply walking away would mean letting them get away with it. The censorship, the bonus reduction, and blocking my account without notice are unacceptable, and I have every right to hold them accountable. If Stake expects loyalty, they should provide it in return.


Thanks for sharing your bonus as a Platinum I member—your experience highlights the inconsistency in how they treat players. You’re right; the bonus I received is nowhere near what’s fair for my level. The claim that my VIP level was downgraded or that I was restricted for raising concerns is just another excuse for them to punish players who speak up.


es, I made those deposits after the last monthly bonus, but if Stake's system "didn't calculate them," that’s a systemic issue on their end, and they should rectify it. Instead, they've chosen to nerf my bonus and ignore me because I called out their shady practices. This isn’t just about one bonus—it’s about a billion-dollar company acting cheaply and unethically toward loyal players.

If Stake truly wants to resolve these issues, they need to address the inconsistencies in how they handle player bonuses, stop censoring those who raise legitimate complaints, and ensure transparency in their dealings with users.

$6.57 is indeed inconsistent compared to your wagering and PnL statistics. How much you had received from the 14th September weekly bonus amount after losing those big deposits? According to your statistics, you have received almost $500 as bonuses within last 30 days. Which is a bit reasonable with your statistics.

Stake had given the September monthly bonus on the 12th day of the month. Most of your deposits were made on that day in the last month. You have only one deposits after the previous monthly bonus date. I guess Stake system haven't considered those deposits and wager which you have made on the same day after receiving the monthly bonus. That's why your October monthly bonus was too low.

There’s really something wrong for a Platinum 3 VIP received only that bonus considering the 70K wager and -2.6K loss. I’m just a Platinum 1 yet I received 15$ bonus this month for just below 20K wager and minimal loss compared to yours.

However, your account might be subjected to restrictions due to your activity in the casino. IIRC you are the same user that accuse Stake house blackjack for being rigged.

Maybe your account VIP level was downloaded due to your previous actions that degrading the casino.

First things first, yes your monthly is surely too small for this wager and loss, no doubt about that. Something is wrong there, what it is exactly obviously we don't know, but it's not right.

On the other hand, you have so many complaints about stake, made a long scam accusation thread about some missing bet ID and so on, also warning about the Indian bank account problems, so why oh why would you keep playing at stake if you encounter so many problems? I mean you basically use this forum only to post scam accusations and complaints about stake, duelbits and so on.
Don't get me wrong, you have the right to do so but wouldn't it be smarter to find a new place to gamble if you don't feel safe? That safes you and us the time to see new complaints over and over again.

From the look of things and how ops sound, it speaks volumes to why he got censored on stake chat forum, and also before I dive into the reason why you receiving such an amount as monthly VIP bonus let clarify something very important about your accusations of stake getting involved in a crypto fraud as you mentioned, it will very wrong of you to come up with such accusation without any prove to back it up and at this point this may be the reason why you are facing alot of issues with your account activities on stake.

I guess you have spilled out alot of things that hot the support pissed up with you and have to limit your access to safe they community, and on some of the bonus conditions, you should have to read the part that stated that the casino have the right to limit how much bonus you get for the month depending on your activities.

Yea I  cannot really say what exactly the issue is with your bonus as I am not a part of the team or the site. Was just speculating in my 1st post which as you see is now edited.

All I can really say is if you are unhappy with Stake, nobody forces you to play there. Maybe play elsewhere for a bit? I personally have never had any issues with them, but I realize that users will have issues from time to time. I do see you have another thread about duelbits as well.

You can try to pm their reps or post in their announcement thread and see if someone can or will help you.

I appreciate your update, but let’s clarify a few things. I haven’t stopped wagering, and my activity level is more than enough to justify the base VIP bonus for Platinum III, which is clearly stated to be $30. What I received—$6.57—isn’t just a "reduction," it’s blatantly unfair given the wagers and deposits I’ve made. If there were changes to the terms or calculations, they’ve never been communicated to me, and that’s on Stake.

Now, regarding your point about censorship, I’ve always treated support staff with respect. My posts were deleted, my account was restricted, and my voice was silenced because I raised legitimate concerns—not because I was rude. Stake’s reaction to criticism has been consistently evasive, especially when users like me start asking tough questions about their practices.

As for Eddie’s comments on streams, those don’t change the fact that there are written terms that users rely on. If Stake wants to operate in a transparent and fair manner, they need to honor their commitments or clearly communicate any changes—not just on streams, but in their official policies.

The real issue here is Stake’s failure to honor its promises and silencing users who speak out. I’m simply holding them accountable for actions that don’t align with their own policies.

Ok, so I wear the stake signature and don't want to be accused of sticking up for them for commenting, but come on. It sounds like you got your account to your VIP level and have stopped wagering. If you watch the Saturday stream, Ed has mentioned many times that there is a base for each level, but if you're not an active bettor your bonus will start going down.

Making a VIP level does not mean free money for life. Stake has the right to change the terms unless you can show us in the terms where it says you can collect free money for life.

As far as censoring you goes, I am sure that has to do with how you have treated support or staff. If you were rude, they probably blocked you. Whether you're mad or whatever, you still have to treat people with respect. I may be wrong here, just my speculation on what happened. Either way, I hope this help you to understand a little better.

Just saw your images, maybe my whole opinion is off here.

Hey everyone,

I originally posted this on Stake’s own community forum, but—surprise, surprise—it was deleted without explanation.

https://stakecommunity.com/topic/109701-stake-censors-users-blocks-withdrawals-and-now-stealing-monthly-vip/

Stake clearly doesn’t want users to know what’s really happening behind the scenes, so I’m sharing it here instead.

As a Platinum III VIP player, I’ve had $70,000 in wagers and $2,688 in deposits, but my monthly VIP bonus was shockingly only $6.57, when the base for Platinum III is supposed to be $30. This isn’t just a one-off mistake—Stake is withholding rewards from its loyal players.

On top of this, Stake has:

• Put my account in withdrawal-only mode without any notice or reason.
• Censored my posts in their chat and deleted my threads on their forums.
• Banned me from Reddit after I started exposing their shady practices.
• Despite reaching out to their support and complaints teams multiple times, my issues remain unresolved. It’s clear that Stake is going out of their way to silence anyone who raises valid concerns. I’ve even filed a formal complaint with the FBI due to the seriousness of these issues.
  

I’m also genuinely worried about my safety since I’ve reported Stake’s founders, including Eddie, and their involvement in a fraudulent crypto empire. If anything happens to me, Stake should be held responsible.

If you’re a Stake user, especially a VIP, be aware that they may block your account, censor your voice, and steal your bonuses without hesitation. Has anyone else faced similar treatment with Stake? It’s time to hold them accountable for their unethical practices and ensure this doesn’t go unnoticed.
