Topic: Stake.com - The Good, the bad, the ugly... - page 3. (Read 644 times)

So in short, you are saying stake is bad, but for the sake of gaining attention, you also made a section about the “good” things stake offers. In that section also, you have mentioned how rudely stake freezes your winnings sometimes. I feel that if you win the games legitimately without exploiting any bugs, if you do deposit from legitimate sources, then no matter what you do in the stake account, your withdrawals will never be blocked. I have been playing at Stake for more than 5-6 years and till now not faced any single issue with them. Yes, the games might be slow, but there are always options to try the other games, right?

I can only agree that you may be blocked from your account and require additional verification in case of a large gain, and this is not accurate. In any casino, absolutely.
And as for the rest, I'm not sure, can you somehow back up everything you said? Or is it just a purely subjective opinion?

Those games aren't rigged, and they are provably fair, but getting big multipliers is complex, a good example of this is Plinko in the hard mode, getting the x999 has odds of 1/32000 or something like that, and getting the max multiplied on limbo or dice still complex as hell, you need to have a lot of luck to chase those multipliers.

And you can verify each of those bets and you can change the user seed to avoid the manipulation from the house side.

True, if you give a bad or good review, you should provide real evidence such as screenshots that show cheating or disappointment, because without evidence it can be said to be a lie that only wants to bring down the stake.

I agree to disagree because it's a 50-50 situation tbh, sometimes players could cook up stories just to try and dent the casino's name in trying to get even with the casino when they are actually in the wrong, and sometimes these reputation damaging articles are from real players that haven't had a fair hearing because some of these casino's/sportsbooks just don't give a **** about what the public thinks of them as they have a good customer base and think they are invisible.

Agreed!!

Business 101, it's not always about the 99% positive reviews...as a business you need to take interest in what the 1% are saying because sooner or later that 1% grows to become the 99% and it will be too late for turning a deaf ear on genuine concern's.

Any review that focuses more on the bad side of a plartform against their advantages and good reputation over time, this should be monitored and kick against most especially when the review is against a reputable casino's such as stake that we are mostly used to here in the forum's and even outside the forum, accepting whatever any newbies put out as a review is not going to be acceptable and the reason is because most of those they reports lack the necessary evidence to prof any point that they truly were once a player's on the casinos and have been treated badly in the cause of their playing on the site.


Stake have been recently dragged and the reason is because stake happens to be one of the most popular casinos so their are oppositions that comes against such level of success.

Absolutely correct, the fact that they haven't win a single big win they thinks that the casino is a scam or is rigged. However it's clear that they want to spoil the reputation of stake.com because they aren't lucky on any kind of the games that stake.com offers.
The funny thing is that it's only newbies that do gives such a review without any evidence to make their statement truthful.
Besides, gamble is for entertainment and it doesn't matter if the gambler win big or small money from the casino because their are some gamblers that haven't win even a single Satoshi from a crypto or fiat casino. Most importantly, many gambler fails to read the terms and conditions of the casino that they are using and if they get into trouble with the casino ignorantly, they complain but not knowing that the faults is from them.

At first we need to ask ourselves when these people are bring up serious of complain and did they came with solid prove to show themselves from from they are complaining? NO! I think i have also came across those complaint as well but with no solid evidence to backed their claims about casino's or betting site. We should also understand that most of these people who kept saying all this are mostly cheaters just as you already said but when they are being caught off they look for one excuse to give to back them up but yet without knowing that these casino are too smart to have fetched out people using multiple to operate on their website.

Stake is one of the online casinos that have strict rules on their verifications, and most times before you ever gamble on stake as a new registered player, they usually demand for some level of verifications and if you win and want to withdraw above the stipulated trench hood, you will be asked to submit more documents and their verification process comes in levels, sometimes their demand for IDs and other time what they need is just an email and address verifications.

So it all depends on the level of kyc that the player is up against, and in at such we still have gamblers that may still run into troubles along the line a d for sure, it most likely that such customers will definitely feel dissatisfied with stake format of demanding for kyc verifications.

We have seen many types of these reviews about casino and one thing that is common is that they are coming from people who feel that casino did not do well because they did not win or got into trouble for reasons they cannot boldly say, hence it becomes more convenient to blame the casino. It is just on few occasion I have seen some admitting to violating the casino TOS through multiple account. Others will feign ignorant of their offense for account closure or accuse the casino of not giving them bonus for their loyalty and loss. You will hardly see these complaints come from someone that is known in this forum rather some random people with probably new accounts. This is why I find it difficult believing some of the claims that some attempt to prove sometimes.

What just happened is that when people do follow the instruction of casinos or betting site and adhered to their regulations i don't think they would face any problem while using that site to gamble. But what most people does is that they completely go against the rules and regulation and expect the gambling site to have mercy on them knowing too well that those ToS is what guiding them and of a true there will no compromise from the casino site. If there are any wrong activities from gambler or bettors then definitely they would face serious issues and if they didn't follow the requirement of the site then it leads to auto-restriction or freezing of account then they would come out to speak against the casino or betting site for their actions forgotten that they are people who faulted.

Sometimes such reviews just don't follow from cheating customers; there are also some real customers that some casinos don't treat very well, and out of the frustration they get from the casino service, they pure it all in long reviews to express how disappointed they are on that casino and earn warn others of such.
 
No doubt, in most cases some accusers have been found guilty and still want to be pity based on how they present their story, but even as that, we can't completely condemn all negative reviews about a casino by dissatisfied customers; we should always try to give them a benefit of doubt.

You in this casino world, when some or a gambler is not favoured because of his or her cheating and got nuked then they would come to the public and create article on the casino company. And when you look into those cases, you will discover that they are even at fault. Though in many cases that have came out to accused Stake.com, stake on their part has not really done well to solve those issues by responding to them. The Op has made his own part of the experience has with stake and given the review of it.

It’s business man, I believe no one on earth will be smiling if someone comes to your business and takes from you but on the other way around they’ll be happy (that’s if they make profit) - the only thing is that it’s now gambling and they require others to lose their money for them to make profit.

Let me ask you; if you should start up a casino and a user comes to your site and spins with just a dollar and hits jackpot what will you do? It will bring you fame but still take money away from your pocket. If I should run a casino and I notice an account that constantly winning the first thing I’ll do is to limit the account (because he’s bad for my business) and if they want to continue they can since that will reduce the amount that’s being lost through them.

Were you KYC verified before you ever started playing with Stake and it was only then that Stake wanted even more documents KYC because you won? Stake doesn't like winners, they are  just the same as the rest of the crummy casino's  with their sore loser complex. (Paid) Fans boys will stick up for Stake of course. They require national ID card under your chin, utility bill to prove your address, to sign up, did they then ask documents more later when they saw you win?

I have been using stake.com sometimes now and never seen where my account was blocked or locked for any reason neither has my fund being stolen from the gambling site. If you think your funds are illegally being stolen without your permission then I will asked you to activate 2FA to enable your account remain secured more than your expectations.

Then for about system having glitch, I will encourage you to use a smarter and faster network, possible you need a 5G+ device to play your casinos games. I personally if I want to play casino game especially roulette what I does is that I would switched over to my personal computer, I mean my laptop it works very smart and cool over there since the screen resolutions fits more better on laptops or pc you would have no issues.

However, I can't actually comprehend the meaning of this review and I don't also know if you are being paid to post this but I must say that no casino is 100% exceptional even most of the casinos that are seems to be sole competitors of stake.com are also having issues here and there were they also blocked people's account without their problems being resolved.

I will suggest if you have any issues it's better to write the live-suport desk you will be properly attended than just writing all these. Perhaps I know you feels so bittered over everything but you need to be patient and again most importantly you need to read ToS to be at the safer side while gambling with any betting or casino sites out there.

Have a wonderful day.

Weldon on your personal review about stake you indeed took the time to give an indebt analysis on the good the bad and the ugly side of the world leading cryptocurrency casino.


What is missing in your review is some fact evidence of your experience, you should include screenshots of all the basic features of stake that you used and mentioned above, at least, that will give your review some level of credibility from all side.

This is my honest review of Stake. I am a Gold member and play usually everyday. I have played on other sites before, 5dimes bovada, nitrogen, cloudbet, sportsbet.io etc. so I know my way around the block.

Lets start with the good:
Stake offers the fastest withdrawals I've had by far. They have great wallet options and a diverse amount of crypto you can play with. Every time I've made a withdraw I have received it in a timely fashion. Aside from the few times they locked my account and took coin from me, everything else has been smooth. From time to time however (usually if you are up big) stake will do these verification checks and force you to submit more documentation before they allow you to withdraw. In two occasions my account was closed and funds were seized due to some breach they ordained I had made. With that being said when you ask them for more details about this, they will reply that they cannot give you any details and the case is closed. Besides this, if you decide not to win tons from them, withdrawals are fast and you should be fine.

The Bad:
Stake originals! Stake originals! Stake originals! I wrote that three times to emphasize how terrible and rigged these games are. I have never had a big win in any of these games. I have played them pretty consistently for the last 3 years. Not once have I seen a max win like you see in those YouTube videos or streamers videos, instead I've seen quite the opposite. I have seen non stop stretches where there losses that are not normal especially at games where the odds are supposed to be 50/50 ie. Dice or limbo 1.2. In addition to this the max shot wins are few and far between. It seems those are reserved only for the streamers. The bonus structure on stake also is highly confusing. They hand out a weekly reward where it seems the formula changes from week to week. There could be some weeks where you wager 30k and get a 70$ rest and others where you wager 60k but only get 50$. It confuses players a lot. The monthly reward they give out is also give it at random times within the month so it also leaves players confused.

The ugly:
The ugliest thing about Stake is their non transparency.
This non transparency leaks into their bonus formulas, release dates, and reasoning behind randomly closing accounts and keeping funds. Despite having an array of different games (one of their pluses) to choose from, they never seem to win... ever. Stake's interface is pleasant on the eyes and easy to navigate, however there are times it experiences glitches, such as balance not being displayed properly or slow down during a slot. As stake has gotten bigger and bigger it seems like will all things, the quality has gone down. This once top notch site has slowly been on the decline in players eyes and has such is just a former shell of itself.
