Okay guys i have decided i am going to take legal action against Eddie and stake. My messages to try resolve the issue get ignored by them. So ill keep everyone updated with the legal proceedings and make sure it gets some media coverage. I hope it will set a precedent for others to come out and sue stake for accepting bets illegally without verification. It's too much money for me just to sit here like an idiot and not take action. I'm very confident having got legal advice I will be successful. This will turn out to be a much larger problem for stake in the long run.
Think this is where this user started this topic on this announcement thread. But they have instated a solution due to this users messages yesterday.
Well, for your information, stake is not the only casino that does not necessarily ask users for kyc verification before the user is allowed to deposit and play, majorly every online casino on this forum only ask kyc from user when the user is withdrawing an amount of money that is over the limit to an amount they accept for non kyced users.
I think you have not heard the update, afaik KYC is now mandatory for new accounts. They started to implement it since last year if I remember it correctly. I've heard this information from new players especially new players who are from the same country as me. For old users, it is still not mandatory as old users are offered to do KYC for extra bonuses. For now, whenever there is a question related to KYC then we have 2 different answers. 1st is that it is not mandatory for old players and 2nd is that it is mandatory for new players. However, it is correct that casino reserve the right to ask KYC especially if it is clearly mentioned in their ToS.
This is what I am referring to in my reply to this user's post above which I quoted.
There was a rather long message while logging into the site which listed all the rules & regulations you had to follow before going onto the site while you are signed in now.
The whole message was in legal terms and in point form, was definitely written by a lawyer the way it looked.
So to protect themselves from any accusations and cover themselves in court if the user who logs into the site now does not comply with these rules inregards to VPN usage and AML agreement as well.
Inorder to continue using the site you have to click on the
Agree to the terms button or you could not continue on into logging into your account.
It had to be from this users messages because it wasn't such an issue that they had to put it in writing and had you read through it and click on agree before all this.
