I'm happy that Stake paid but there really wasn't a need for a huge delay on a case this simple. Stake has become the most intrusive casino here.
Basically they unblocked my account just to withdraw, they have limited my ability to bet, I think they only welcome losers, I tried to bet 15 dollars on Spain and France yesterday and I couldn't, I can only bet 10 dollars at a time, so I withdraw . my funds and I will never return to this casino again. I guess "the violation of your TOS" was you are not allowed to win or recover losses. If you are what they perceive to be a winning gambler, Stake looks for a reason to steal. If it looks like you are going to lose long term, KYC will be initial at worst.

OP, though you're no longer acceptable to play on Stake, your balance are all withdrawable and successfully landed on your wallet, there is currently no ongoing scam. I'll repeat my previous request to lock this thread and mark the opening title with the word "resolved" to mark it as done. If you still want to gamble, there are still other sites that accept players.

The OP should have received his money when he asked. Stake has a license in Curacao. The licensing is much stricter in the UK and US. The books in those two jurisdictions aren't doing what Stake is doing to winning players. In the UK and US, they don't unnecessarily harass players, they limit winning players. There's no reason for us to praise a book because they paid one month after asking. We should take note and try to pressure books so that we aren't unduly harassed.

I'm not sure if you read all the Stake cases since some don't come down to scam accusations. Most of the time the guys with problems in the Stake sportsbook are winning players. Some get cleared, paid and limited while others aren't paid. Stake is harassing players at a much higher rate than any fiat or crypto book. I don't think it's wrong to point that out. edit- You always start off taking the book's side, while I always start off taking the player's side. It's probably a good balance and why we disagree on so many cases since it's nothing personal.

Is it, though? Too personal and I accuses you of something that is not [libel]? Let's break it down, you start by saying that if Stake perceive someone to be a winning gambler, they will look for a reason to steal, of which I politely asked to refrain from giving baseless statement, as, IMO, this case seems to be a situation where Stake do everything by the book. So again, tell me, which part of this case gave you the impression that Stake tries to steal from OP?

In my humble opinion (IMHO), Stake definitely delayed KYC. It's not good to simply trust any casino based solely on its past reputation.
Holydarkness seems to be unnecessarily defensive of Stake. The original poster (OP) received their payout likely because they made a public accusation of a scam. There's no way to know how many others have been caught in this indefinite KYC loop (or trap) without ever making a post.

Thank you for your honest opinion, I appreciate it and have put it into my consideration upon the attempt to see the situation from different perspective. I'll say that, seen from different lens, the recent discussion can indeed cast an impression that I try to paint Stake as a good casino while Peeps tries to point out how they cheated their players. However, if I may offer my perspective and the way I see the development of the case, to clarify, I am not defending Stake in sense of turning my ears deaf and my eyes blind. I don't think I won't do the same for any other random casino if it ever happened to them. I simply don't want someone mudding a situation, especially when addressed to one that tries to go by the book. Unless I understand things wrongly, OP got his account locked roughly three weeks ago --let's say a month, just to be safe-- he got stuck at level 3 [proof of address] because he can't provide a utility bill under his name, and level 4 [proof of wealth] because they asked him for the latest 3 months of payslip, and OP can only gave the last two. This situation then remedied as the month changed and OP got his next payslip, enabling him to submit three last payslip, as well as having his credit card statement as proof of address in place of the utility bills. With these, Stake immediately proceed, investigates his account, and unlocked his withdrawal. This is not like the neighboring case where they throw impossible reason of rejection, like things being too blurry, all details should be on the same page, etc. This time they play by the book. I don't think it's fair if the casino [any casino, really] rewarded with a statement that they tries to steal. If Peeps's comment was addressed to other cases, perhaps the one that spanned for about six months, where even I commented once that they crossed a line with their KYC requirement, I wouldn't waste a breath to address statement Peeps gave here. Stake's KYC cases is something that piqued our curiosity, about how they seemingly tries to weeded out their players by imposing borderline-irritating KYC. I even agreed to an opinion on earlier page on this thread, about how their KYC requirement upon first deposit should be player's decision and not something being enforced to them. But the situation here is different.

As the poster above said, had the OP not come here, he may still be getting the runaround. There’s no reason for you to tell me to stop mudslinging and using borderline slander(libel). Attack the books, not the posters. Attacking books can help stop shady practices.

I have to agree that their KYC is intrusive, I believe I've made my opinion known on many occasion. As the rest of your post, let's break them down. Is it? That if OP doesn't come here, he might still have his case going and Stake keep rejecting his documents? Previous case indicates otherwise, that even after a player made his situation public, not much had changed and the process still dragged for months. It would indicate that the speed of cutoguad's case got resolved is independent to the post here, rather, it's more to because he fulfilled what they asked [intrusiveness aside]. If we entertain the other possibility for a while though, that the forum has influence over the speed of resolution players get over Stake [and I would love to hope and believe it's the case here], wouldn't it be unwise to "antagonize" the channel that can help people get their rights faster? If they still expedite cases when it got escalated to the forum, wouldn't it be unwise to talk negatively upon their effort, lest them get tired having their effort unappreciated and choose to leave the forum, which lead to us having no means of communication to help players with their situation? Attack the books, not the posters? How about attack the scammers? Things are not always black or white, on each and every case, the book is not always the bad actor, nor the posters all the time. How exactly attacking books can stop shady practices when a case is a clear cut of player abuse?

They do whatever they want and don’t answer to anyone. We can’t just unnecessarily praise a book and take their side to keep them posting here. It’s a tricky situation. If we befriend the book, we can screw the player. If you rule against a book, the book may just stop replying. Edit- to address the other question, the player will be in the wrong a huge majority of the time. Ahoy does a nice job calling out the scammers.

I believe you're not asked to, nor I am saying something about, unnecessarily praising a book. I simply asked to stop slinging muds, to make a statement which is not true, since this case [as repetitively explained] seems not like the other one with long delay. They do things by the book on this one. And I don't think it's ever needed, unnecessarily praising a book. Simply acknowledge their gesture when they do things right, and call them out when their action is questionable. Though I believe pouring gasoline over an ember [as the "fire" already put off] doesn't bring much benefit, does it? Let me make it easier, as always, let me try to understand from your POV, what's the point and/or added benefit of saying that they're going to steal from someone they perceive as a winning gambler, on a resolved case?

Let me make it easier, as always, let me try to understand from your POV, what's the point and/or added benefit of saying that they're going to steal from someone they perceive as a winning gambler, on a resolved case? I post it to warn players that Stake is the worst as far as unnecessary KYC and hope that Stake may read here some day and stop the practice. Stop judging my posts. You don’t know why Stake is causing unnecessary delays. I think, right or wrong, it’s to steal money. They are going to limit winning players and on some, they just grab money and show them the door.

You don’t know why Stake is causing unnecessary delays. I think, right or wrong, it’s to steal money. They are going to limit winning players and on some, they just grab money and show them the door.
And how exactly is that achievable? The ones who read this thread [which once again has become a dead horse, like the ones you and I always have] are probably you, me, some bored overseer who do a cursory glance, and probably OP. Oh, and Symphonized, so there's some hope for you there that Stake read your post. If there is any future or existing player who read this thread, I can hardly imagine that they find your post serves as a warning, because they'll very likely do a "stake scam steal" search and stumbled upon your post when they've already stuck in a situation. And further, the post was made on a case that's resolved, so even if they made an account and a thread here on the forum and made a reference of your post, anyone can easily point out to them that the case they give is actually a resolved situation. If any, I'd like to think that what you achieve is an encouragement for Stake's representative to distance themselves further from the forum. If there is any consideration from Stake to be once again actively addressing scam accusations section, they'll probably shied themselves away and reconsider the decision now, since an attempt to clear a situation as protocol dictate still gave them bitter and hostile response. I'm not saying that we need to kiss their ass and overly praising them when they get one thing done properly, simply acknowledging their effort as it is instead of antagonizing it will be a good start. If you want to help warn users, that's good, I appreciate and welcome the initiative. But that should not be achieved by mudding a resolved case. You previously said about cases that got under my radar since they never arrived on this board. If you want to warn, I suggest you start from there. Build a list, make a thread, so people can read all of the unresolved cases against Stake. Tag me when you do it.

Using Stake as a reason to criticize my posting isn’t valid. I don’t like how you always take the book’s side but normally don’t criticize you on it. Can we please just move along so as not to judge and criticize each other in the future.

It is not a dead horse anymore, it has just become HIDALGO (very few will get this one ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ). If any, I'd like to think that what you achieve is an encouragement for Stake's representative to distance themselves further from the forum. If there is any consideration from Stake to be once again actively addressing scam accusations section, they'll probably shied themselves away and reconsider the decision now, since an attempt to clear a situation as protocol dictate still gave them bitter and hostile response.

Stake is likely running billion-dollar operations. It's childish to believe they'll shy away from criticism due to a single post. While Stake eventually paid a legitimate winner after a month (requesting KYC not at the time of deposit but after the withdrawal request, with unnecessary delays), this doesn't warrant praise for 'following the book.' In fact, it's borderline excessive appeasement, not simply acknowledging their actions.

In fact, it's borderline excessive appeasement, not simply acknowledging their actions.
Though I still stand with my stance about their approach on this situation is by the book, since the month-long delay was due to the inadequate document from OP, which was cleared once he provided them [part of it was thanks and due to the change of month and OP received his new payslips], I have to say that the possibility that they'll not shy away from a single post [the one I referred as throwing muds] eluded me. I guess I owed someone an apology. Thank you for this insight. As for "excessive appeasement", if my posts ever casted such impression, then it's unintentional. As I am sure it is well known by people frequently overseeing this board, I gain nor seek any benefit from any cases, so it brings me no added value to excessively praising them.

Their silence and irresponsiveness to any of the threads here doesn't mean they didn't read each and every post about them on this board. I am assured through several occasions that they do. I would beg to differ, and for you to reconsider your statement, that I always take the book's side. I believe you're well versed with my "track record" by now that you know that it's not true. I simply questions both sides until it became apparent who did what. For your request to not criticize you in the future, I'm afraid I can't promise you that. If you [or anyone, really] made a statement that is rather incorrect, misleading, or clouding a situation, I don't think I would not point that out, unless the better part of me judges that it doesn't worth to be addressed [I believe this is also why I leave some of your posts alone]. But, I think I have to apologize to you on this one as this is one of those situation that better left unaddressed. So, I guess there was an error in my judgment that day.
