INR deposit successful but not usable


11 months ago

Dear AskGamblers Support,

I am raising a formal complaint against Stake.com due to an unresolved issue involving a deposit made through INR (Indian Rupees).

  Issue Summary:

On 8th July 2025, I deposited ₹500 INR to my Stake account using UPI via Paytm. The amount was successfully deducted from my bank account and credited to my Stake account (Transaction ID: 2809529032, UTR: 518922229295).

However, when I attempted to use the funds to place bets on the casino, I was unable to proceed. Upon contacting Stake support, I was informed that INR transactions are no longer supported due to restrictions from their third-party payment provider.

Concerns:

• No warning or notice was provided during the deposit process about INR being unusable.

• My friend’s Stake account still works with INR transactions, which proves this is not a region-wide issue but rather account-specific.

• Stake has offered no option for refund, withdrawal, or reversal of the funds.

• My ₹500 INR is now stuck in the account with no way to use or retrieve it.

What I Am Requesting:

• Either a full refund of the ₹500 INR back to my original payment method OR

• Immediate removal of the INR restriction from my Stake account

Account and Transaction Details:

• Stake Username: < sent to the casino >

• Transaction ID: 2809529032

• UTR Number: 518922229295

• Deposit Date & Time: 8th July 2025, 5:17 PM

• Payment Method: UPI via Paytm

• Deposit Amount: ₹500 INR

Despite reaching out to Stake’s customer support, the issue remains unresolved. I respectfully request AskGamblers to assist in getting my money refunded or my account unlocked for INR use.

Thank you for your help.

Dear Hemant0329,

Thank you for the information provided.

In order for us to proceed with the escalation of your case, it is essential that you submit an official document issued by your bank confirming that the chargeback related to this transaction has been successfully withdrawn.

The document must clearly state the transaction details and explicitly confirm the removal of the chargeback in question.

Once we receive this documentation, we will be able to provide you with further instructions regarding the next steps.

Kind regards,

Hello AskGamblers Team,

I deposited ₹500 on Stake, and I understand that applying for a chargeback is against their rules. However, I have now cancelled the chargeback through my bank.

While I do not have official documentation from my bank, I kindly request Stake to verify the cancellation directly with their payment provider. I acted in good faith and followed the process to reverse the chargeback as soon as I became aware of the rule.

I respectfully ask Stake to consider my case and reinstate my account now that the issue has been resolved from my side.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,

Deposit not received since 72 hours
> I am submitting this complaint against Stake Casino India regarding a deposit of INR 2,000 that has not been credited to my account even after more than 72 hours.

Stake Transaction ID: 3541325682
UTR Number: 617232876328

The payment amount was successfully debited from my bank account, but the deposit has still not been credited to my Stake account. I have contacted Stake support multiple times through email and submitted enquiries with all the required information and payment proof, yet the issue remains unresolved.

As evidence, I have attached proof showing that the payment was successfully sent for INR 1,999.56, which is the exact amount generated by Stake's payment system/barcode for this INR 2,000 deposit. I have also attached a screenshot of the system-generated payment barcode/QR page provided by Stake before payment was made, which clearly shows the same amount of INR 1,999.56. In addition, I have attached the payment receipt and transaction confirmation from my bank.

These documents clearly demonstrate that the payment was made exactly as instructed by Stake's payment system and that the funds were successfully transferred.

Despite providing all of this evidence, Stake closed my enquiry and advised me to request a chargeback from my bank. However, this is not a practical solution, as chargebacks or payment disputes can only be initiated within a limited period after the transaction as per RBI'S guidelines. More than 72 hours have already passed, and no chargeback or refund can now be issued through my bank.

I have made every reasonable effort to resolve this matter directly with Stake, but I have not received any meaningful assistance or resolution. As a result, I am left with no option but to seek help from the AskGamblers Complaint Service.

I respectfully request that AskGamblers investigate this matter and assist in ensuring that my deposit is either credited to my Stake account or refunded in full.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Delayed Stake Withdrawal

Dear AskGamblers Team,

I am filing this official complaint against Stake Casino regarding a severe delay in my withdrawal request, which has been pending since 16th May 2026.

Casino Username: < sent to the casino >

User ID: < sent to the casino >

Withdrawal Request Date: 16th May 2026

Payment Method: INR / Local Bank Transfer

I am an Affiliate Partner for Stake and have actively promoted their platform, bringing in multiple players and revenue. However, my own legitimate payout is being withheld without any valid justification.

Two weeks ago, Stake Support requested additional verification documents, including my personal bank statements. I fully cooperated and submitted all clean, authentic proofs immediately. There is absolutely nothing pending or unverified from my side.

Despite this, my funds have been stuck for over 14 days. Whenever I contact their Live Chat, they tell me to check my email. Whenever I email them, I receive generic, automated responses asking me to 'patiently wait' due to 'INR payment provider reviews.' Fourteen days is an completely unacceptable timeframe for an intermediary payment check, especially when I am facing a real-life financial emergency.

Furthermore, when I posted my honest experience on Trustpilot, Stake reported and got my review removed to suppress this issue.

Since they refuse to provide a concrete timeline or transparent update through their direct channels, I am forced to bring this matter to AskGamblers. I request Stake Management to escalate this ticket to their Senior Finance/Compliance Head, clear the intermediary hold, and release my funds immediately. I have attached screenshots of the pending transaction, my submitted documents, and their repetitive support responses as proof."

Withdrawal 20187 Not Received Since 11 May No UTR and No Resolution

Complaint Title

Stake Casino India Withdrawal ₹20,187 Not Received Since 11 May No UTR Provided


Complaint Details

I am submitting this complaint again under the correct casino name (Stake Casino India) as my previous complaint was rejected due to incorrect selection.


I am facing an unresolved withdrawal issue of 20,187 initiated on 11th May (Transaction ID 3463972891) which has still not been credited to my bank account.


My bank (SBI) has clearly confirmed that no such transaction has been received. Despite multiple follow-ups, Stake has failed to provide a valid UTR/reference number that would allow the bank to trace the transaction.


Instead of addressing the missing payment, their support team keeps repeating the same template responses regarding bank statement requirements. However, SBI statements are always password-protected by default, and removing the password results in the document being considered edited, which they also reject.


This creates an impossible situation where I am unable to provide a document that meets their criteria.


I have also offered to provide a signed and stamped bank statement from the branch to ensure authenticity, but this has not been properly acknowledged.


I have fully cooperated with all requests, yet my issue remains unresolved.


I kindly request AskGamblers to intervene and help resolve this matter by ensuring that Stake either


1. Provides a valid UTR reference number for the transaction, OR

2. Re processes the withdrawal amount immediately
