107 days passed and still nobody respond


2 years ago

So my account has been frozen and blocked, and I cannot place a bet or withdraw the remaining funds. After this fact, I wrote to live support and they replied that I had to contact resolu­tio­ns@­sta­ke.com via email. I wrote an email to them on January 11 and for 107 days I didn't even receive a response. Generally, my account had the message Withdraw Only mode

Your account has been placed in withdraw-only mode. Please contact support for more details.

However, even in withdraw-only mode, I could not withdraw anything. I wrote to support many times because no one replied to me at resolu­tio­ns@­sta­ke.com, they told me to wait, but how long can I wait?

Finally, one guy on the live support wrote to me that if I do kyc4, he will speed up the verification and another round will start. I did KYC 3 and I had problems with the acceptance of my last KYC4 (bank statement + payment slip) it is possible to send only 1 PDF additionally when I sent it, it was rejected and finally the completed KYC3 was confirmed by Stepan Fa, "Hello there!

​Your level 3 verification was confirmed successfully.''

My KYC level decreased to 1 after I try send the last level (kyc4)

No one even cares 107 days have passed (probably no one even works at resolu­tio­ns@­sta­ke.com)

I found a very similar problem to mine on AskGamblers

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your communication and for sharing your concerns with us. We recognize that the verification process can be a source of frustration, and value your patience as we endeavor to maintain the highest standards of security and compliance on our platform.

I regret any confusion that may have arisen from our prior correspondences. It is our goal to provide clear and concise instructions to aid a seamless verification process, and it appears we did not meet this objective recently. Allow me to clarify the necessary steps to address the issues you have encountered effectively.

In light of the discrepancies observed in your KYC, it is imperative that you commence the verification process anew. Please ensure that you re-submit the specific details that were initially provided at the time of account creation for level 1.

Moving forward, I must stress the importance of adhering to the verification procedures as detailed in our previous communication.

We thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

As I said, unfortunately this situation cannot be resolved. You are probably kidding me. Everything I wrote above proves this and now you told me to wait 7 days for an email to "veriff" which I did not receive and you lied that I would receive it within 24 hours. Now you don't talk about him anymore. Thank you for wasting my time. As I wrote, I performed kyc3, which was successfully confirmed by "Stepan Fa", it can be confirmed. Now my kyc is at level 0. It is not possible to perform kyc on your website because even if you do it what does my situation represent then it will drop to zero. How many more photos should I take of my selfie with the document 100 times? I wonder what you do with it.

"we have encountered an issue with processing your verification due to your most recent submission not meeting our required standards"
Please answer me what I did wrong, I performed kyc 2 and 3 where you wanted a bill confirming my address. Kyc 2 was confirmed and kyc 3 was rejected and first you wanted "a bill confirming my address" and now you require "We request that you submit a utility bill and proof of payment for the past three months."
I didn't do Kyc 4 because you told me to wait for the link to "veriff"
First, please decide what you actually want, because even if I do it, you will want something else and this verification makes no sense.

Verification process cannot be completed and funds withheld
Hello,

I am submitting this complaint regarding Stake.com, which has suspended my account and prevented me from accessing or withdrawing my funds.

Stake temporarily suspended my account due to suspicions that I may have violated its Terms of Service and subsequently requested additional verification documents to restore access to my account.

I have fully cooperated with the verification process and successfully completed the first three verification stages. However, I am currently experiencing difficulties completing the fourth stage, which requires proof of income.

I am currently a student and unemployed. Therefore, I do not receive a salary or have a regular employment income. It is simply impossible for me to provide payslips or documents proving a regular income that I do not have.

I have also submitted my available bank statements, but they were not considered sufficient to complete the verification.

I want to emphasize that I am not refusing to cooperate with the verification process. I have successfully completed all previous verification requirements. However, I am now being asked to provide proof of income that does not exist in my circumstances, without being offered a practical alternative.

Furthermore, I have not received a sufficiently clear explanation of the specific reason why my account was initially considered suspicious, nor have I been provided with a reasonable solution to complete the fourth verification stage.

Throughout this process, my account remains suspended, and I am unable to access or withdraw my funds.

I understand that Stake has legitimate security, KYC, and AML obligations. However, I do not believe it is reasonable for my funds to remain inaccessible indefinitely simply because, as an unemployed student, I cannot provide salary documents that do not exist.

I am requesting one of the following resolutions:

Allow me to complete the fourth verification stage using reasonable alternative documentation appropriate to my circumstances as an unemployed student, and reconsider the restrictions placed on my account.

If Stake is unwilling to lift the restrictions on my account, I request that my account be closed and my remaining balance returned to me.

I am not asking to bypass or be exempted from verification requirements. I am simply requesting a fair and achievable verification process or the return of my funds.

I respectfully request AskGamblers' assistance in mediating this dispute and helping reach a fair resolution.

Thank you.

Account suspension KYC proof of address problem

My Stake.com account has been suspended due to alleged "Terms of Service violation".

Account Details:


Username: < removed and sent to the casino >

Registered Email: < sent to the casino >


Problem:

I am a player from mainland China. For more than 3 months, I have been trying to complete the KYC verification, especially Proof of Address (Level 3).

Main Issues:


All my official documents are in Chinese. I have uploaded them multiple times, but Stake support does not accept them or keeps rejecting them without clear explanation.

I live in a rented apartment, so I cannot easily provide utility bills or bank statements in my own name as proof of address. I have tried providing rental agreements, translated documents, and other alternatives, but they are still not accepted.


The system now shows the message: "We have temporarily suspended your account for a suspected breach of our terms of service. Please contact [email protected] for information on how to resolve this."

I have contacted [email protected] and support multiple times as instructed, but the issue remains unresolved after 3 months.

Requested Solution:


Immediate manual review and acceptance of my Chinese documents (with translations) or suitable alternatives for rented housing.

Lift the account suspension OR return the entire balance to my original deposit wallet address.

Provide a clear written explanation of the exact Terms of Service violation.


I have attached:


Screenshot of the suspension message

All previous support conversations

KYC documents submitted (including Chinese address proofs and translations)


Please help resolve this matter urgently.

Best regards,

Forever in verification

Start playing on Stake.com on 14/02/2026.

Made deposits and withdrawals without any problems. Account VIP status GOLD. Account minus -12000 USDT. I was playing slots, a little bit of sportsbook.

11/03/2026 I placed bets of 1500 USDT on a basketball match, won 1400 USDT. When I try to withdraw money i received a notification that I need to submit verification again from LEVEL 2 to LEVEL 4.

But now I need to send for a LEVEL 2 selfie with documents and paper with nickname and date.

LEVEL 3 - proof of address LEVEL 4 - bank statement and payslips.

I made it! Load documents for LEVEL 2 - COMPLETED, LEVEL 3 - COMPLETED, LEVEL 4 - reviewing. The next day, I wrote again to support and asked why it took so long to review LEVEL4. They ask me to check my mail. In my mail was a letter «please confirm verification by link…»

I also completed this verification by linking it was third party verification service, not stake.com! By the way i made it.

After all this i wrote again to Stake.com support. They told me that I need to wait. After it i received a letter from someone from stake again with requirements to complete another verification with a new link. I wrote to support and ask what this is. They answered me that I need to wait and update my page when the results are in.

So I read a lot of complaints and understand that the current situation is in forever verification.

So I ask you to help me to solve it and to get my money back from this suspicious website.

Account suspended and Stake rejecting notarized legal affidavit and bills

I am writing to formally request a thorough review of my account (Username: < sent to the casino >), which has been frozen despite my providing extensive and legally valid verification documents. I recently experienced a successful streak in sports betting, which brought my account balance to approximately $6,000.

Unfortunately, I am currently unable to access these funds due to the Level 2–4 verification requirements imposed on my account, but since they have right to ask for KYC anytime I am happily cooperating with them.


I am 18 years old, a full-time student, and reside with my family in Uttam Nagar, New Delhi, India.

I tried sumbitting Level 2 and after multiple reupload and a verrif verifiction it was finally confirmed.

For level 3, I was asked to provide the bills in my name even though I mentioned that I am a student.

In India, it is very common for students to live with their parents, and therefore, all utility bills and residence-related payments are naturally under the parent’s name. In my case, all official bills for our residence are registered under my father’s name, Vedpal Singh.

I tried to tell chat support about this and happily they understood and asked me to upload my father's bill and a signed and notary document claiming that I am a p art of that community


To comply fully with Stake’s verification requirements, I have submitted the following "Standard" documents:

Father’s Utility and Financial Documents: I provided his Airtel DTH bills alongside his State Bank of India (SBI) bank statements for the past three months, proving active household payments.

Notarized Residency Affidavit (e-Stamp Certificate No: IN-DL73853644033532Y): This legally sworn affidavit confirms my current residence and explicitly establishes my connection to my father. I obtained this official document at my own expense specifically upon request from your support team.

Official Domicile Certificate & OBC Caste Certificate: Both government-issued documents clearly display my permanent address, further confirming my residence at my family home.

My Aadhaar Card: My National ID matches the exact address on all the above documents, establishing perfect consistency.


Despite submitting this overwhelming amount of legal and government-issued proof, my account verification continues to be stalled and rejected for different reason everytime. The recurring automated feedback asks for utility bills in my name, which is impossible given my circumstances:

Electricity: In Delhi, households consuming less than 200 units per month receive a 100% subsidy and do not generate a standard payable electricity bill.

Water: Our family uses a common submersible pump system, which does not generate individual municipal water bills.

Both of these are very common in INDIA, especially in DELHI region since its modern household.


I am not claiming that stake is doing it on purpose, but I just want to convey them that there must be a verification loop that I am stuck in that is causing this all since I want to emphasize that I have provided all available legal and government-issued proof to establish both my identity and my physical residence. These documents carry severe legal weight in my country and they can be verified too digitally and should satisfy any reasonable verification requirements, yet the account freeze remains.


I kindly request that Stake's higher management urgently review the documents I have submitted and lift the freeze on my account, allowing me access to my legitimate winnings. I have acted in good faith, fully complying with your process, and this situation has caused significant stress.

Thank you very much for your attention and understanding. I sincerely hope that this matter will be resolved swiftly since as a 18 year old student, I am not able to focus on my studies due to this and spent most of time collecting documents just to get them rejected for unknown reasons.


Sincerely,

Verification process stalled

I am filing this complaint because it feels like Stake is not actually trying to verify my account anymore, but instead repeatedly adding new requirements to prevent and prolong my withdrawal of 7184 USDT.

It all started when I received an email telling me that my account has been temporarily suspended, and that i need to contact them. Thats when they told me that i need to verify my account, which is level 3 and 4 since I had already verified level 1 and 2.

I moved to level 3 verification where I needed to provide proof of address. I decided to use electricity bills. Normally i throw my electricity bills away after paying them, so the only copies I had were digital. Apparently that was not acceptable so I had to go and individually print them out.

I then uploaded photos of the electricity bills in paper form. These were rejected because they said there was no proof of income included. Nowhere in the level 3 instructions did it say that proof of income was required at that stage, they let me know that after they had declined the utility bills. This is where it started to feel like the requirements for this whole verification process were changing.

To move forward, I uploaded everything again, this time combining my electricity bills together with bank statements from the last three months into a single PDF document. After doing that the verification was finally accepted and I passed level 3.

Then came level 4 verification. For level 4 they required bank statements and pay slips from the last three months. I gathered those documents and submitted them, my account was succesfully verified to level 4, my account was now fully verified.

After completing all these verification steps, I then attempted to withdraw my funds.

However, when I tried to do that I recieved the following message: "We have temporarily suspended your account for a suspected breach of our terms of service. Please contact [email protected] for information on how to resolve this."

Which was confusing because my account had been fully verified, I contacted them by email asking what this was about. Instead of explaining any actual breach of terms they tell me that my level 4 verification has been updated, I go and look and I see that it has been revoked, and that I now need to complete level 4 again.

This time they are demanding that my proof of income documents must be provided in physical paper form and signed and stamped by my employer.

At this point it became clear to me that this whole process was no longer about verifying my account, but rather about delaying me from gaining access to my own funds.

What makes this even more unreasonable is that the documents I already provided clearly prove my income. My pay slips come directly from my payroll/banking system and clearly show the company paying my salary, payment amounts, dates, and all necessary details.

These documents cannot be altered and are already official financial records.

Yet now i am being asked to provide signed and stamped paper versions of documents that i do not even receive in that format. My pay slips are generated digitally, which is completely normal.

This entire situation feels like Stake is just trying to make this harder for me to get my money back by making requirements impossible to meet, like I already haven't put everything on the table for them.

Just want my money back from them, this is absolute mockery.
