- Has your concern with the stakes mate been resolved? It sounds like a lot of money to be one of the VIP customers at Stakescom, right? Maybe you are rich, and you just make gambling on the high-stakes gambling platform a hobby. Being a VIP in stakes is a privilege because you get many benefits.
Also, as far as I know, stakes will not let their good reputation be damaged just because of an issue that they are complaining about. If it has not been resolved, just wait for its response to you about that matter.
Your quote is too much, why not just crop it or make the image smaller with [img width=xxx]
I don't think so, because until now the OP has not provided clearer news. He has been a bettor on stake.com for several years and maybe with a high number of bets to reach VIP level, but doesn't know why this happened, is this OP's negligence? I don't think this is entirely stake.com's fault, maybe there is something else that he hasn't realized about this incident. This is my personal assumption. I agreed. Since the OP said that he was a victim of a phishing link, it means that stakes.com is out here, so what the OP is saying is wrong: that he is wary of other communities entering stakes to gamble. Because the phishing link is from outside the stakes platform. In my opinion, the only thing stakes can do there is investigate what happened to Op and Matrace and where the phishing link mentioned by the author of this article came from. So, I will repeat clearly that Stakescom is not at fault here for the bad things that happened to the OP.

Just imagine if that was a "White hat" hacker and if he bet on the 2x and he doubled his money and left it there... Well, you cannot be a White hat, if you risk someone else's money, but it would have been nice. It is actually sad that Stake employees are not taking this seriously .... it is not funny for the victim of such a hack... and losing that amount of money. It is also weird that the IP address of the hacker are not supplied to you.... it might have helped you to investigate this on your own.

Op clearly messed up here. He should have checked the link carefully which is common sense. What's actually messed up is the trash hacker who gambled away the funds after realising that he couldn't withdraw it.
That is one messed up human being. Hope he receives the karma that he rightfully deserves.

It’s an unpleasant situation. Yes, you can definitely say that the level of security of your account was not sufficient. I have a separate email for all gaming sites and systematically change passwords every few months and try not to keep funds on my balance so as not to leave hackers a chance to hack my account records. In your case, the hacker was weak and he did a dirty trick.

Lol, I bet we wouldn't be having this discussion in case the scammer (we can't call someone using a phishing link to access an account a hacker) had made a correct bet and doubled the money and then left it in the account OP would basically not tell anyone about what has happened in the fear that they might take the money away if they've got it from somewhere being unaware. However, that is not what happened and it is obviously sad and unfortunate. However, I wouldn't blame the casino or the management for not being able to do anything since it wasn't their mistake if OP has given his access himself through a phishing link which means he basically got trapped by the scammer and it is him who is responsible for the loss and not the casino management.

If that's true the hacker only has 30 seconds to use the same 2FA code to also login. After that what can he do? You need 2FA to withdraw or tip any money to other accounts, so there is not enough time anyway. If they use the account through the infected device there would just be the victims IP and no other one.

I think phishing has little to nothing to do with account security, because even with a very high security on your account , you still can be phished if you enter your account login details on a phishing site , which is clearly the situation with the op.. Op still had security in his account since the hacker could not withdraw the funds due to 2fa that is enabled on the account, but it's rather unfortunate that instead of leaving the money alone since he can't withdraw it, he decide to waste it, give it back to Stake, same thing like; "if I can't have it, you can't have it too", and this is pure wickedness.. And I hope that Stake will introduce a betting pin for every account, that is, when placing a bet on any game, you have to enter your betting pin (which must be different from your login password) for your bets to be approved for all through that session .

About the IP address, there won't be any I think. Maybe they are accessing the account through the victims computer.

If they use the account through the infected device there would just be the victims IP and no other one.
There is also a possibility that the hacker was using a VPS (Virtual Private Server) service while doing the operations and a VPS wouldn't have the IP address of where the hacker is but it will have an IP address based on the location of the VPS and that can be anywhere in the world. So, I don't really think that OP could get any clue or anything even if the casino management had supplied him the IP address that used his Stake account at that hour. It's OP's mistake, obviously, and he definitely have learned his lesson. These things teach us that there is no free money anywhere in the world and that we should also never trust emails or messages or any other medium of receiving a promotion unless we are 100% sure that it's official.

I've know Stake platform for a long time and they have done really well with their reputation so far, I think OP needs to learn more about phishing before accusing Stake platform of poor security, even if you have the best security, once you give access to anyone apart from you they will easily go through your accounts and withdraw your fund.
To the Stake casino, they will believe you are still the one in control, this is just an example how phishing works, I am not saying this is what really went down, it's your own fault for getting phished, and I do hope that you learn from it instead of blaming a reputable platform.
If you failed to find what went wrong, you will still become a victim again, I am saying this out of experience, they will find access into every other platform where you have accounts, including your Bank account. Stake isn't to be blamed, the problem is on your part.

You actually don't get it I suppose, what AHOYBRAUSE is saying is inline with something I've pointed out on this thread like some weeks back, and what he is actually saying is that, the same way the hacker was able to obtain the password for the account, same way also, he can obtain the 2fa code too, all the hacker needs do is to be very fast to make sure he uses to the same 2fa code the user typed in to also login, phishing means that as the hacked user is typing in his password, the hacker is seeing the digits, as he is also typing in his 2fa code, the hacker is also seeing the codes, the user doesn't have to give the code out that way you are thinking .. The only thing there is that, since he only had the ability to use the code only one time, he can't withdraw or tip any other account, so that was why he decided to waste the money on the account by purposely playing it away .

BTC so been playing on stake for 3 years. Last Sunday my balance went from 8 k to 10k I got phishing mail and I clicked thinking it was legit bonus as I was nearing level up. I was phished and my funds were gambled on 3 bets. I was surprised why hacker didn't cashout. May be 2FA.
First of all it would be hard for Stake to believe that you lost your balance due to someone else's intervention. Even if they listen to your story then still you won't be able to provide valid proof that you were a victim of a phishing attack. The Stake.com may refund your balance but it's really unlikely to happen. Sometimes gamblers lose their bets and they can come up with similar story but I believe you're telling truth and if you're lucky then Stake will listen to your story and may refund you the balance that you've lost. But biggest surprise was phishing link received after certain amount reached. Could hacker potentially be scanning wallet and only trying to scam for bigger account?
I don't know if an hacker can access the internal wallets of the users and if so then they may also have access to e-mail addresses of the users because it's literally impossible to send phishing link to someone without knowing their e-mail address. I wont doubht that because I am not the first one being phished and funds stolen/misused. I see time to time victims and stake does not try to improve its security or they don't care about their players at all.
Well, it's user's fault who gets phished and if a casino refunds those affected users then it's their goodness. A reputed casino like Stake isn't responsible for someone technical weaknesses but still if they think about refunding those users then it's their generosity. After loosing funds I was so angry and try every avenue to acknowledge Eddie and their tech support but I havent even gotten 1 reply from them yet.
Just venting and warning other users that stake.com is not safe and more certainly they don't care if their security is poor. They will just say account security is players responsibility.
Be safe out there and try to avoid suck irresponsible site.
Peace .
I know that you have lost funds and anyone who losses funds will have similar reaction as yours but still it's not fair to call Stake.com unsafe because of someone's own fault. Account security has always been players responsibility and if someone gets phished or hacked then the casinos won't be responsible for such thing. I know it's really hard to bear a loss of $8k but sometimes we learn big lessons from our own mistakes. I will say again that it would be generosity of Stake if they refund your balance.

Stake has already built a good reputation, and even though they were recently hacked, they are still operational now.
What happened to you is not the fault of Stake; there are a lot of hackers out there. You should know how to determine if an email is legitimate or not. Of course, phishing links are very popular, but there's always a way to verify if the email is genuine or just an attempt to hack you. As a gambler with a significant amount of money in your account, it's essential to educate yourself on ways to protect your funds wisely.

Stake had a big vulnerability because of having their own crypto payment gateway. Probably they still have it now. The latest hack only proved it and you are right I suppose hackers were available to track players' transactions and identify "big" players.
The only thing you could do to prevent it is to set max. bet limit like 0,1-0,5 LTC. Some casinos do it manually if there's no such thing in their interface (from my experience - LTC Casino, Cryptoboss - and other SoftSwiss-based crypto casinos can do that).
I hope this issue will be fixed in the future when casinos apply AI to their security systems. For example, if you are an experienced player, AI would analyze your behavior in this way:
1) You never did all-in without getting "tilted". 2) You never placed big bets in Limbo. 3) Unusual IP
=account restricted after the first bet.

We know that the phishing link does not choose a place; as long as there is an opportunity, it will immediately be placed where the scammer wants. Then it is also true that customer support in every casino says that the security of our account is up to us as gamblers and how we manage it properly. I agree here and have no questions about this matter.
That's why, if you read here in the forum, most of the communities here are saying to always be prudent and sensitive about the actions and strategies of exploitative scammers or hackers who can steal our assets from our balances on any gambling platform.

Every one licking stake a** . Yes I know its not stake fault but atleast higher up should have responded on my emails. And explain what went south rather than player who had been phished looking for answer . I contacted customer support and all they did was to restrict my account.
I had to provide all proofs after account was 0. Wee stake lickers I am glad you all enjoying your reputable site.
Enjoy. I got my answers and it was hard pill to swallow.
IRL is the way

BTC so been playing on stake for 3 years. Last Sunday my balance went from 8 k to 10k I got phishing mail and I clicked thinking it was legit bonus as I was nearing level up.
I was phished and my funds were gambled on 3 bets. I was surprised why hacker didn't cashout. May be 2FA.
But biggest surprise was phishing link received after certain amount reached. Could hacker potentially be scanning wallet and only trying to scam for bigger account?
Could they be getting too much success that they just decide to act only after certain amount level is reached.
I wont doubht that because I am not the first one being phished and funds stolen/misused. I see time to time victims and stake does not try to improve its security or they don't care about their players at all.
After loosing funds I was so angry and try every avenue to acknowledge Eddie and their tech support but I havent even gotten 1 reply from them yet.
Just venting and warning other users that stake.com is not safe and more certainly they don't care if their security is poor. They will just say account security is players responsibility.
Be safe out there and try to avoid suck irresponsible site.
Peace .
This is suspicious...another player also got an email while he was playing - see this thread about how a player got phished out of 150k from his accountOP, some questions. What exactly were the details of the 3 bets? Had you ever received these emails prior? Do you use this email for a lot of things, or just stake? What was the senders email? The reason I ask is that I think that it's extremely odd that two players received a phishing email at the time they had a balance. In the other case, stake let the entire amount to be tipped to a brand new user, then withdrawn to a wallet. In this case, the funds were just gambled away. In both cases there is reasonable suspicion that Stake may have some involvement, as only they can know when a player has a balance and only they stand to benefit by gambling it away in 3 bets...and in the other case, it is highly unusual for a casino to let a brand new account withdraw such a large amount with no checks.

I do not think it is the real accusation as the op of the mentioned thread was last online today but the topic locked about 6 months ago without any proper announcement by the thread starter. Though there is few posts of the OP but there is no update about the case but locked by the starter. So, obviously think there might have something wrong.

I don’t know what’s really suspicious about it, some user is being targeted for phishing and that’s it. Now the point of wonder is who is at the end of all these phishing mails, whose the jacket here; is it stakes or some rogue officials within its ranks of any (which I don’t want to believe as stakes have proven to be fair and bigger than petty theft) or it’s the work of some out of the box hackers. The fact that not just one user is receiving this mails doesn’t narrow things down to stakes but, can go down to vindicate them none the less. Hackers typically use methods of bulk sms which is mails in this case to reach out to a good number of users. Looking for potential victims in numbers. The chances of success is in the numbers as, you can likely have a not well informed or secured user amongst them. Best course go solution has always been, not having to respond.
