Bitcoin Forum

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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?

So what Casino do you now recommend as the best?
The one that ticks all your good Box.

I'm quite surprised how people find this place to do their reviews and most of the time
They never make a review to praise except it's a Casino people barely know.
You could just state this in their thread since you were able to locate this board
And see their response and response of other user
That would help know how concrete your facts are.


if all these are so true
Why are people still using it.
Is it that stake loves them more than you
Or they just that smart.

This is a nice write-up, but why should I believe everything you say using a brand-new account? With the way you wrote this up, it looks like you are not a newbie at all, what are you hiding anyway?

Your "randomly closing account" accusations are something I've never witnessed from Stake as I am a strong user of the platform, too; this has never happened to me once; I guess you have done some things wrongly.

The only part that sounds true is how often you win on Stake and this isn't that different from other online casinos too, it got to a stage where I thought something was wrong and I abandoned Stake for a few weeks and moved into another casino but the result isn't that big, I later went back to keep using Stake.

+1

Any type of complaint that is voiced must still be accommodated to be reviewed for its truth and a conclusion can be drawn if both parties confirm and state all their respective arguments. The 1% is always bombarded by supporters who hold the 99% so that it is considered weak and finally even though the 1% can backfire on the opposing party.

Talking about the Stake originals spilled by OP is actually difficult to prove, but based on personal experience it is indeed not according to what is watched but I will not judge the casino considering that gambling is our own responsibility when determining where to play.

If your Stake username is same as your Bitcointalk forum username, then you have already become a Platinum 1 ranked user on Stake. Your lifetime wager is $110k, where $250k wagering is required to reach platinum 1 rank. Looks like your sports betting wagering has boosted your VIP rank.

Different games have different contributions towards the bonuses at Stake. They also consider the wagering activity from deposits, and users weekly or monthly PnL stats. Still, the bonus parameters of Stake is indeed mysterious. I have similar experience like you about Stake bonuses. Anyway, Stake in-house games aren't rigged.

This seems like an honest review of someone who is active on Stake regularly. In terms of transparency (as this was your ugly about Stake), I think you need to join some of their social media channels or forum. I am not a regular customer however I have seen so much of promotions of their events and release dates etc. that you are talking about in my social media feed. Not sure how you can miss it by being a regular player.

Nice write up though, try it for other platforms too.

No, the house edge of Dice at Stake is 1% which translates as 99% Return To Player but the odds are 49/51 in favour of Casino.

If you want to get rewarded for your high wagers, then join the Metawin. I'm not saying this because I promote the website, no, just try it yourself and thank me later :D They have a VIP transfer available and special Salon Lounge for VIP members. They also have Web3 wallet support and claim that you are able to deposit and withdraw up to 30 ETH per day in less than 60 seconds, without a pesky human interaction.

Btw the quality goes down because they generate enormous money and doesn't seem to hire many new employees. They are investing lots of money in streamers and marketing overall.

Exactly since its every opinion must be heard since we cannot erase the certain facts that there are people will write their experience on the casino they mentioned. Even though they are reputable there are really things or actions that discourage people that's why some people here posting their disappointment towards them.

Although we really need to verify each complaint but we should not get blinded with long years and reputation display since there are reputable casino turn into a scam. But in case of Stake I think everything still fine with their end. This case is maybe made up because OP is just frustrated with the result he encountered with Stake. So for now if there's no other information to validate or back up his claims that statement will remain unproven and for sure lots of people will not validate any accusation with no good supporting documents posted.

How come this feature makes the ugliest thing on Stake. I also ask about the formula computation of bonuses in the past but it’s not a big deal anymore since I consistently receiving bonus. You can speculate on what is the formula consideration if you are a regular player.

The hidden formula and release date add to the element of surprise on playing at Stake.


Stake only keep the funds that accumulated through the due to the violation. The deposit amount always being refunded to affected user besides all casino doesn’t fully disclose the detail of the violation aside from the general terms that being violate.

I have quit playing massively at Stake which I used to play almost everyday because I also think that things has changed a lot internally. I used to win huge amounts there from time to time and the losing sessions were not as consecutive as 6 months without a single win in any slot, I mean a decent amount and therefore unless they don't show a good audit report from an independent party regarding slot machines I will not be playing there anymore slots, only poker and sport betting. There is no need to lose money in the most worthless of ways.

You do the right move on quitting the casino if you already feel that you are not winning anything. I’m not suggesting that Stake has rigged games which is the reason for your losses rather you are not enjoying the game in there since you already have bad speculation on the casino which always make you frustrated to play on that casino anymore.

We have different preferences and it’s normal to experience losing streak since you experience to have huge win before. The RTP of the casino games dictates that you will win less to your original bankroll in the long run which means all your previous winning will surely loss if you keep playing since that’s how RTP works on game that has negative EV.

Most important on gambling is you enjoy that’s why I said that you do the right thing so that you can move on.

First of all, OP, thank you, and you gave reviews or insight according to your experience of playing at stakes casino for a couple of years. The sides that you gave a view from good, bad, and ugly are good.

And all of what you said may or may not be true. Then maybe all casinos have their weak points that can really be said. Now, based on your story, the only thing missing is that you didn't show proof that those experiences of yours are real. You are the one I see lacking.

honestly the negative parts are not so negative...

their originals games are technically verifiable and not modifiable by the gambling house. the fact that in 3 years OP has not won has no statistical value and makes me wonder if he/She understand how difficult it really is to win a large share.

on the part of the bonus, as much as the lack of transparency is questionable, they are not violating any law. in fact, many other bookmakers do not have any type of similar reward.

and if they did not offer these bonus?
of course everyone would complain again... ::)

Your review makes a lot of sense op. Stake is definitely not as amazing as it once was, but it's still a great site to gamble in thanks to their quick deposit and withdrawal speeds along with minimal fees.

However, I disagree with your opinion about their originals being rigged since I have observed some players win big in plinko etc. Only some gamblers around the world get lucky enough to win humongous amounts through casino games.

Yeah I agree. What's bad about this kind of review that has no screenshots or absent of evidence is they are going to add and will overlook some point and most of the time they will add based on other players' experience.

Even a screenshot of his claim that he is a gold member is good start to make us believe that some part of what he is saying is true.

Seems like OP is a little rough on Stake. It’s hard to knock them just because you didn’t hit a max win on one of their games. Luck could have easily sent that the other way. Also, I think there are a lot of great things about Stake other than just their withdrawals. They have a huge selection of games to play and a wide range of sporting events always available. I think that is more important than the speed of a withdrawal.

OP I have no choice but to disagree.

1. If you have said that Stake have slow withdrawal or deposit you would have been bursted, this is the best part of Stake casino.

2. Coming from a new forum account, hell no.

3. There is no single evidence to back up your claim, not even a single screenshot.

How do you want people to take this very seriously?

If you are out of luck it is not the casino's fault, people do blame the casino if they start winning less and losing more but they forget that this is mathematical, here is a tip, if you don't like what you are getting you should stop using the casino and find another.
