Is your casino witholding your money, and are they licensed in Curaçao?

[caesar5000]

In 2023 Stake with held my withdrawals after they "suspected" a breach of their TOS

I had actually given up at one point because they requested KYC to level 4 and I literally could not prove my source of funds because they do not accept crypto as a source of funds. That's right, a crypto casino will not accept you making money on crypto as a source of income.

So I gave up at that point and just wrote it off as a loss

but coming back to it and actually really going through it, they are obviously not aloud to do this and there are ways and processes to go through this to get your money back, especially if they are licensed in Curaçao

lawyers aren't nescessary and if you have all the evidence documented that you haven't done anything wrong it makes it MUCH easier, especially if they have contradictions on record through emails or through support chat

Since you stated this, why not post proof that you indeed played on Stake.com and that they withheld your funds because you cannot prove the source of your funds.

i don't know what you want to achieve with this post?
are you trying to bait people into contacting you to show them this "MUCH easier" way to get their money back or what?

if there is really a way as you say that doesn't involve lawyers to do the legwork in curacao, please do share more details with all of us.

sorry boss your right

stake restricted my account during a KYC review which later created a jurisdictional block.

After i recieved the block i was emailed that my account was in "withdraw only mode", the UI at the top of my account was in "withdraw only" mode while betting was disabled, requiring level 3 and 4 to continue.

given all of that, i was still not able to withdraw

since then stake has repeatedly refused to process any withdrawal, shifting explanations, and continued requests for level 3 and 4 KYC even though I have already submitted it and had it rejected lmao its nuts

its $5k+ they are holding

This happened in early 2023, basically coming onto 3 years, its only in the last 4 weeks that i've properly had a look at it and started the process of actually getting it back. And not wasting time trying to get askgamblers or anyone else to handle the dispute for me

Well, 2023 and now [2026] is different. Though I no longer follows the update of regulation on Curacao-based license after many casinos jump ship to Anjouan, cases in 2023 were handled by the four master license holder, in 2024 [or was it early 2025?] Curacao made a massive reconstruction where licensing is directly under CGA [Curacao Gambling Authority], under the govt. themselves. So, if there is a difference in difficulties between then and now, maybe that's it.

You were asked to provide proof, so your next step is to do so. Post the screenshot of the email you received, or anything else that proves your point. Until you do that, it's just more storytelling.

If you are serious, you will do this; if you think there is no violation of the TOS, you will not wait three years, because if you are clean, it will be resolved in your favor.

My question is, if something as important as having your money withheld and your verification "rejected" happened almost 3 years ago, why are you only looking into it now? The more time passes, the harder it becomes to resolve. If it were me, I wouldn't wait, especially since I haven't broken any rules, and I'm in the right.

Follow the instructions given regarding evidence; only then will you be able to get any help here on the forum.

We are wondering why wait for three years. Do you need money now, and you think that you can finally withdraw your money
Anyway, you can still recall what went wrong on your account three years ago, but I don't know about Stake if they are not deleting inactive accounts from their database.
It's better if you can still log in, take a screenshot, act now, and address your issue seriously, so you can withdraw it and not be hounded again in the next three years.

This is can be considered a small amount of money to go through juridiction process. First, I don't think a wealthy company such as stake casino wouldn't risk its breputation fpr this small amount and you can see they pay bigger amount for a promotional campaign here in bitcointalk. second, it will cost you more than the held amount to go through a juridiction process.
I don't advice you to let go your case even after three years, but better continue making noises everywhere about your situation with stake. The casino has representatives here in the forum and they are reputed members who can help.
