Hey everyone,

I originally posted this on Stake’s own community forum, but—surprise, surprise—it was deleted without explanation.

https://stakecommunity.com/topic/109701-stake-censors-users-blocks-withdrawals-and-now-stealing-monthly-vip/

Stake clearly doesn’t want users to know what’s really happening behind the scenes, so I’m sharing it here instead.

As a Platinum III VIP player, I’ve had $70,000 in wagers and $2,688 in deposits, but my monthly VIP bonus was shockingly only $6.57, when the base for Platinum III is supposed to be $30. This isn’t just a one-off mistake—Stake is withholding rewards from its loyal players.

On top of this, Stake has:

• Put my account in withdrawal-only mode without any notice or reason.
• Censored my posts in their chat and deleted my threads on their forums.
• Banned me from Reddit after I started exposing their shady practices.
• Despite reaching out to their support and complaints teams multiple times, my issues remain unresolved. It’s clear that Stake is going out of their way to silence anyone who raises valid concerns. I’ve even filed a formal complaint with the FBI due to the seriousness of these issues.
  

I’m also genuinely worried about my safety since I’ve reported Stake’s founders, including Eddie, and their involvement in a fraudulent crypto empire. If anything happens to me, Stake should be held responsible.

If you’re a Stake user, especially a VIP, be aware that they may block your account, censor your voice, and steal your bonuses without hesitation. Has anyone else faced similar treatment with Stake? It’s time to hold them accountable for their unethical practices and ensure this doesn’t go unnoticed.

Ok, so I wear the stake signature and don't want to be accused of sticking up for them for commenting, but come on. It sounds like you got your account to your VIP level and have stopped wagering. If you watch the Saturday stream, Ed has mentioned many times that there is a base for each level, but if you're not an active bettor your bonus will start going down.

Making a VIP level does not mean free money for life. Stake has the right to change the terms unless you can show us in the terms where it says you can collect free money for life.

As far as censoring you goes, I am sure that has to do with how you have treated support or staff. If you were rude, they probably blocked you. Whether you're mad or whatever, you still have to treat people with respect. I may be wrong here, just my speculation on what happened. Either way, I hope this help you to understand a little better.

Just saw your images, maybe my whole opinion is off here.

I appreciate your update, but let’s clarify a few things. I haven’t stopped wagering, and my activity level is more than enough to justify the base VIP bonus for Platinum III, which is clearly stated to be $30. What I received—$6.57—isn’t just a "reduction," it’s blatantly unfair given the wagers and deposits I’ve made. If there were changes to the terms or calculations, they’ve never been communicated to me, and that’s on Stake.

Now, regarding your point about censorship, I’ve always treated support staff with respect. My posts were deleted, my account was restricted, and my voice was silenced because I raised legitimate concerns—not because I was rude. Stake’s reaction to criticism has been consistently evasive, especially when users like me start asking tough questions about their practices.

As for Eddie’s comments on streams, those don’t change the fact that there are written terms that users rely on. If Stake wants to operate in a transparent and fair manner, they need to honor their commitments or clearly communicate any changes—not just on streams, but in their official policies.

The real issue here is Stake’s failure to honor its promises and silencing users who speak out. I’m simply holding them accountable for actions that don’t align with their own policies.

Yea I  cannot really say what exactly the issue is with your bonus as I am not a part of the team or the site. Was just speculating in my 1st post which as you see is now edited.

All I can really say is if you are unhappy with Stake, nobody forces you to play there. Maybe play elsewhere for a bit? I personally have never had any issues with them, but I realize that users will have issues from time to time. I do see you have another thread about duelbits as well.

You can try to pm their reps or post in their announcement thread and see if someone can or will help you.

From the look of things and how ops sound, it speaks volumes to why he got censored on stake chat forum, and also before I dive into the reason why you receiving such an amount as monthly VIP bonus let clarify something very important about your accusations of stake getting involved in a crypto fraud as you mentioned, it will very wrong of you to come up with such accusation without any prove to back it up and at this point this may be the reason why you are facing alot of issues with your account activities on stake.

I guess you have spilled out alot of things that hot the support pissed up with you and have to limit your access to safe they community, and on some of the bonus conditions, you should have to read the part that stated that the casino have the right to limit how much bonus you get for the month depending on your activities.

[AHOYBRAUSE]

First things first, yes your monthly is surely too small for this wager and loss, no doubt about that. Something is wrong there, what it is exactly obviously we don't know, but it's not right.

On the other hand, you have so many complaints about stake, made a long scam accusation thread about some missing bet ID and so on, also warning about the Indian bank account problems, so why oh why would you keep playing at stake if you encounter so many problems? I mean you basically use this forum only to post scam accusations and complaints about stake, duelbits and so on.
Don't get me wrong, you have the right to do so but wouldn't it be smarter to find a new place to gamble if you don't feel safe? That safes you and us the time to see new complaints over and over again.

[Cointxz]

There’s really something wrong for a Platinum 3 VIP received only that bonus considering the 70K wager and -2.6K loss. I’m just a Platinum 1 yet I received 15$ bonus this month for just below 20K wager and minimal loss compared to yours.

However, your account might be subjected to restrictions due to your activity in the casino. IIRC you are the same user that accuse Stake house blackjack for being rigged.

Maybe your account VIP level was downloaded due to your previous actions that degrading the casino.

$6.57 is indeed inconsistent compared to your wagering and PnL statistics. How much you had received from the 14th September weekly bonus amount after losing those big deposits? According to your statistics, you have received almost $500 as bonuses within last 30 days. Which is a bit reasonable with your statistics.

Stake had given the September monthly bonus on the 12th day of the month. Most of your deposits were made on that day in the last month. You have only one deposits after the previous monthly bonus date. I guess Stake system haven't considered those deposits and wager which you have made on the same day after receiving the monthly bonus. That's why your October monthly bonus was too low.

I've already notified the staff team to review this case

[AHOYBRAUSE]

It’s clear now that Stake has no intention of addressing the core issues here, despite the publicity effort made by Symphonized. This feels more like a PR move rather than an actual attempt to resolve the concerns I’ve raised.

As you can see from Aleksandar's response, Stake is refusing to provide any additional amount for my monthly VIP bonus, which contradicts what others have received at similar VIP levels. Even though they claim the bonuses are automatically calculated and “fair,” the disparity in payouts and lack of transparency indicates otherwise.

I appreciate Symphonized notifying the staff team, but without Stake admitting their mistake and addressing these inconsistencies, it looks like nothing will change. This is not about demanding special treatment; it’s about fairness and being treated equally compared to other users.

Short question, have you ever had problem with some sort of multi account accusation on stake? Not accusing you of anything, just asking because some months ago there were some complaints in the stake forum that weekly/monthly bonus has been super low despite high wager/loss and when being asked this on the stake stream as well Eddie said this was supposed to happen to accounts that have been a found out to be multiple accounts.
Some players obviously said stuff like "I only have 1 account" but others became quite silent after that info.

[Saint-loup]

The calculation rules of their bonuses are very opaque afaik, and they change them whenever they want without noticing users because as it is one bonus they consider they don't owe anything towards customers about it and they can give it as they wish, to whoever they want. What Eddie has said according to the post above is quite suprising because usually when they suspect a customer to have several accounts they lock all his funds and they ask him to fulfill an endless KYC procedure as we've seen in many cases here. So if he's true, and one of your picture seems to confirm it, it would mean their multi-account accusations are just excuses used to try to keep funds of those customers actually, it would be serious.

True that they are changing the bonuses, they actually did that a lot over the last 2 years. Still the bonuses normally are quite good and if the calculation is right then there is nothing to complain about. What exactly is going on in OP's case, nobody knows. It's always hard to get insights. But obvious there must be something wrong.
Also, I don't know what you mean by "his picture seems to confirm it". The agent just made a mistake because normally they have several support chats open at the same time. So whatever he told him was meant to be for somebody else, he obviously said that himself. About multi account accusations, normally they don't just keep your money but but the account in "withdraw only mode", and one the withdrawal was made you can't use the account anymore. Sure, we never know if the multi account things are true, but that's for any casino since not 1 single casino would show their ways of detecting such accounts, for obvious reasons.

[Shishir99]

Even though the casino says they have a base bonus amount for each rank, it can even lower when you do not meet some criteria. No matter how much you wagered overall in a lifetime. The lifetime wager only increases your rank level and nothing else. What matters is how much you have wagered in the last month and the last week. The bonus depends on your latest performance and not on your overall stats.

I am not surprised because if it is possible to make massive money from casinos just by ranking up and getting free money every month, then people will start selling accounts, which is already happening with the updated system. I don't think Stake is a stupid platform that will give free money to everyone. You got your bonus based on your recent stats. I don't want to see what you did in the past. Your recent stats speak for you.

You are lucky that there are no negative merit system.

IMO you shouldn't intervene in cases regarding the casino you're promoting with a referral link into your signature because you're not objective, and even look a bit biased actually. Could you point out a case where this casino as just put the account in "withraw only mode" and kindly let the customer withdrawing all his funds without asking anything else after being accused of multi-accounting? I am very curious about that tbh. In the last case we've seen here(the one where you've asked the OP to promptly lock his thread before giving more informations), the customer had to threaten them to sue the big bosses in Australia, to be able to get his funds back.
Here it's the same with this customer agent, right after talking about his boss, the agent poorly apologized and claimed to have confused him with another customer while what he said was apparently in line with previous Eddie's statements according to you.

[Shishir99]

Garbage snipped

I am sure you would call me a stake promoter if I were there wearing a stake signature at this moment. But, I am sorry that you did not get that chance. You just tried to prove that I am spamming here for my signature quota. Nah? Whatever you try to say does not actually help your case. You are just a frustrated kid who is addicted to gambling and lost some money that you cannot afford to lose. So, you tried to find a way to blackmail the casino and get some bonus. But, don't think nobody knows how this casino bonus works.

For anyone actually interested in the truth, I recommend checking out Stakeexposed.com. Stake, and particularly Eddie and his team, won’t be able to get away with their fraudulent practices for much longer. Eddie and his crew are headed to prison – that’s the inevitable outcome of their scamming and exploitation of users.

Haha. LOL. You just proved how desperate you are to prove that Stake isn't giving you a bonus. Grow up, kid. That's not how it works. I understand you are trying to make a living by doing this, but I am sorry for you.

You feel a bit confused to be honest. I can voice my opinion (regardless of my campaign) and I also said that it's true the bonus amounts decreased over time. I am a 4 year player on stake, have platinum 6 level and I know what I am talking about.
And about the "withdraw only mode" I actually know 3 persons personally that had this happen and they have withdrawn, just so you know. Also on the stake forum you can read about cases like that. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

And, I didn't "promptly" ask the OP of a different case to lock it, I just did because that's what people here are supposed to do. If your case is resolved you are supposed to update and lock to avoid further spamming, that's how things are handled here. You are in no place to judge me about my signature. I am nobody to blindly defend sites, never was never will. I said that in the case we are talking about there is definitely something wrong with the calculation, didn't I? Also it's a fact the support agents have several chats open, sending a reply to the wrong person happens and it happened to me so often actually. That's why I reacted to your reply, because you didn't take this into consideration. Cheers

Honestly, I wouldn't have talked about that if you didn't quote me to defend the casino while wearing its signature (with ref link) and while I wasn't even talking to you. I personally think people should stay cautious with what they do and they say when there could be a conflict of interest in their position, even if they are very fair and honest but it's just my personal ethic and I don't ask anyone to share it. If you are platinum 6 (ie 10+ millions wagered afaik) you are a high roller, so you should be concerned about all those issues reported here because one day you might face them too, and it's nice to tell us here how Stake normally handles multi-accounts according to what you've seen around you but it would have been interesting to tell it on other threads where people are not treated this way IMO. Anyway I hope kingbj21 will be able to know why his bonus has been decreased.

You confuse defending with explaining. I simply explained to you what the chat confusion might have caused, that's why I quoted you because you got the wrong idea about what happened there when he accidentally was told he would have another account.
Also, being platinum 6 in a 4 year span doesn't make anyone a highroller, I am far from that. I am not concerned because I did nothing wrong actually. that's just how it is. I also obviously hope OP gets this resolved since I repeatedly stated as well that there must be something wrong with the calculation.

[Shishir99]

I see that you've resorted to personal attacks instead of actually addressing the issues at hand. Calling me a "frustrated kid" or assuming that I'm just trying to blackmail Stake for a bonus only reveals your ignorance about the situation. This isn't about losing money I couldn't afford or trying to blackmail a casino—it's about holding a company accountable for their unethical and illegal practices.

You started the personal attack while I was sharing my point of view after reading the whole thread. But you came up with a dirty idea to play with me and say something like I am not contributing anything and writing here because of my signature campaign post quota. When you expect respect from someone, you should do the same thing. I am not wearing a stake signature, and I am not their employee. Why do I have to defend them? You should have respected my opinion and think what I wrote. I still believe that the casino bonus does not depend on your overall stats (lifetime stats). If you are looking for a monthly bonus, It depends on your monthly stats. Nothing is wrong when they see a VIP member holding his rank, but they do not wager much anymore. Giving out free money to less active users won't benefit their business. This is not charity. They are here to do business. I do not bother to check your fucking website after your personal attack. Keep that in your pocket and move forward.

[Shishir99]

You seem to be confusing a genuine concern with personal grievances. If I were defending Stake, I certainly wouldn't be wearing their signature or promoting them. The fact remains that you are still ignoring the key issue: I had a significant deposit and wagering activity last month, which entitled me to more than just a $6.57 monthly bonus.

This isn’t about receiving "free money" as you call it. The monthly bonus is simply another form of rakeback—a reward for the activity I’ve already generated for Stake. For the record, I received the exact same amount for my weekly bonus—$6.57—just before the monthly bonus of $6.57. This points to a deliberate reduction in what I should have rightfully received, and other users have agreed and pointed this out, even on Stake's own forum.

You came to the point now. You are just a frustrated kid who started the personal attack at first saying I am writing for my signature quota and you know I make living with that. LOL. All I said is, your monthly bonus depend on your monthly statistics and not on your overall stats. You could simply say that you have wagered a hefty amount last month and show the monthly stats. But you never pointed out that, you started attacking me instead.

I had to check your screenshots twice to understand that you actually wagered 70K in a month and got $474 in bonus which is not a small amount of money. Now it is up to you and stake and I have to agree that if someone get $6 as a monthly bonus, this is something stake should look at.

[AHOYBRAUSE]

I know where you have this
@Shishir99,

You seem to have misunderstood from the start. I never received $474—that was an estimated bonus based on my activity, which Stake failed to provide. What I actually got was a mere $6.57, which is a fraction of what was expected. Stake has literally stolen the money I rightfully earned by not providing the proper bonus, and it’s disappointing that you missed this key point from the very beginning.

This isn't about personal attacks; it's about raising awareness of unethical practices. If you’ve now come to understand the seriousness of the situation, that’s a start. But make no mistake—Stake's actions here are not acceptable, and it’s crucial to continue pointing out these issues until they’re addressed fairly.

Since I have a LOT of experience with stake I want to add one thing. 70k wager and a loss of 2600$ would NEVER EVER pay 474$, and I mean EVER.
Trust me, I am sure about this. Loss has an impact but not THAT big of an impact. I have had 300k-900k wager months (900k 1 time only) and even with a loss and 900k wager and I barely 300-400$ monthly. That like 13x your wager by the way, and still only 400$. And wager is still a much bigger factor than loss.
So thinking you could get 474$ monthly with such a small wager is actually out of this world. That would mean a 15-20% loss back actually, stake doesn't do that.
Even an absolute nonsense site like https://stakebonus.com/monthly-bonus/calculator/ when entering your numbers says 362$, and this site is so wrong. I just entered some of my numbers and this site gives amounts that are 2x or 3x of what I got.
So I think an appropriate number for your 70k wager and 2600$ loss month would be around 200$ (and only because of the high loss). Obviously this is still much more than 7$ but also considerably less than the numbers mentioned here.
