Complaint #126 Stake Sportsbook

Deposit not credited and Stake refusing the human support

By gbrahmavar

I deposited INR 2,500 into my Stake account. The amount was successfully debited from my bank account, but the deposit was never credited to my Stake wallet.
I have tried multiple times to contact Stake support. Email support has been completely stopped, and live chat only provides automated bot replies with no option to speak to a human agent. I am being refused proper assistance and no refund or resolution has been provided.
I have full proof of payment including bank statement, transaction ID, and screenshots. Despite this, Stake has failed to investigate or credit my funds.
This is unacceptable customer service and effectively denial of service after taking my money.

Following a careful review and consideration of all the information, details, and proof presented by the parties during the complaint process, the AskGamblers Complaint Team has reached the conclusion that the disputed amount never successfully reached the casino's payment provider. Consequently, the casino has no means to track or recover the aforementioned funds. We strongly advise the player to seek further assistance directly with their bank or financial institution. Based on this confirmation, the AskGamblers Complaint Team considers this case resolved, and it is now officially closed. While we understand this may not be the outcome expected by the complainant, we would like to remind you that, in case of a disagreement with our decision, further assistance on the matter could be requested from the relevant regulatory body and/or appointed Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) entity.

Dear gbrahmavar,

As communicated through the relevant escalation ticket, the payment provider has investigated the Transaction ID 321****646 and concluded that the funds have not been received. As we do not have any record of this transaction reaching our payment provider, we are unable to intervene or provide further assistance from our side.

In order to resolve this, we advise that you contact your bank directly. Your bank will be able to trace the transaction and provide information on its status or initiate a refund request, if appropriate.

In case your bank is unable to assist, please refer the bank to the RBI's guidelines so the matter can be escalated to the appropriate department.

We appreciate your understanding.

Kind regards,

Account suspension and withholding of funds username

"I am filing this complaint against stake.com regarding a permanent account suspension and the confiscation of my $3,000 balance. I successfully completed Level 1 and 2 verification. For Level 3 (Proof of Address), I submitted a comprehensive package of my last 3 months of residency documentation as requested.
Despite my full cooperation, the casino summarily closed my account and informed me via email and live chat that the decision is permanent and my funds will not be released. No specific breach of terms was cited. I am requesting the reopening of my account or, at minimum, the withdrawal of my legitimate balance of $3,000."

Stake does not want to give me my bonus

On November 11, 2025, Stake sent me a personalized email addressed to my username “dammyayomm” offering a $60 bonus if I wagered $60+ per day on sportsbook events for 5 consecutive days.

I completed the exact requirements stated in the email:

- Started within 2 days

- Wagered only on the sportsbook

- $60+ every day for 5 straight days (screenshots attached)

The email contained no mention of VIP level, previous activity, or any other condition.

Support now refuses to credit the bonus and claims “Marketing handles it” with no further explanation.

I request AskGamblers’ assistance to have the $60 bonus credited as promised in the personalized offer.

Rejecting all KYC docs and asking for the impossible

I recently hit Diamond VIP and Stake requested lvl 3+4 KYC, which shouldn't be an issue as I can provide everything needed. They rejected countless bank statements saying I needed to produce something more. They rejected both my old and new lease agreements. They rejected proof of my bank transfers matching my rental payments. I have no way of producing a utility bill in my name as its paid for by the landlord, and I showed correspondence with the landlord stating this very clearly, that although it can be produced it would be in their name as stated on the rental contract, yet Stake insists that I come up with 3 months of utility bills in my name+bank transfers proving it. They keep demanding a council tax bill when that is impossible to produce as I don't own real estate.

In order to satisfy level 4 KYC I have shown bank statements proving my sale of old crypto investments and a larger bank transfer which was the result of an inheritance. They have rejected all of this, demanding payslips from my employer, a letter from my employer, and bank statements matching these payslips. These are impossible to produce as I am self-employed, but they insist I must have payslips and there is no other way to resolve this.

As you can see they are completely unreasonable and have no intention of unbanning my account. There is nothing wrong with any of my documents, yet they just keep asking for what is impossible to provide. According to them I have to be a landowner and have an employer with a high level of income just for the privilege of losing money on their site. I want to remind you that there has been 0 mention of breaking any TOS, this is simply impossible KYC that they are demanding.

Deposit not credited and no from Stake support

USDT Deposit Not Credited, No Response from Stake Support

Complaint Description:

On May 8, 2025, I deposited 50 USDT to my Stake.com wallet via the BSC (BEP20) network. The transaction was fully confirmed on the blockchain with thousands of confirmations.

Here are the key details:

Transaction Hash (TXID): visible on the screenshot

Stake Wallet Address Used:visible on the screenshot

Network Used: Binance Smart Chain (BEP20)

Amount: 50 USDT

Date/Time: May 8, 2025 – around 05:29 PM UTC

The funds were sent from Binance and confirmed successfully, but Stake has not credited the funds to my account. I have contacted their support multiple times and attached full screenshots (which I am also submitting here), but I have received no reply at all for over 24 hours.

This is extremely concerning, and I believe this should have been resolved automatically or at least manually by their team by now.

I request that Stake.com either:

1. Credit the 50 USDT to my Stake account immediately, or

2. Refund the amount to my originating Binance wallet.

Thank you for your help in resolving this issue.
