Unjustified complaint

REJECTED

Case summary

1 month ago

The player from Georgia had deposited $100 with a 200% bonus and won $2000, but faced an account ban and required 4 levels of verification. After completing all KYC processes, the account remained banned, and only the initial deposit was returned while the winnings were confiscated. The Complaints Team had reviewed the case but ultimately could not provide assistance due to insufficient insight into the specific issues related to sports betting. As a result, the complaint was rejected. After further investigation, it was determined that the player had breached the casino's terms and conditions, specifically concerning multiple accounts linked to similar IP addresses and devices. Consequently, the complaint was deemed unjustified.

Dear Drnaek12,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Stake Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can better understand the situation. 

  • Have you made the activity using your acquaintance's IP only?
  • Were you using your device to register and play?
  • Have you completed the wagering of the bonus?
  • What games did you play to accumulate your current balance in the casino? (slots, live games, betting on sports) 

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Tomas

The misunderstanding happend because :


I didnt knew stake before

the one who told me about it is the cyber employee i visit, he even gave me a referral code to sign up with and he told me you will get a bonus which was exciting at the first, i signed up on the cyber i visit to usually play fortnite and other games, i guess thats why stake.com said we found potential multiple accounts and thats totally fine for me they can suspect that, but they asked me to prove my identity!!! I proved that im an independent person and im not a multiple account and submitted my


ID

PASSPORT

BANK STATMENT

PAYSLIP


AND EVERYTHING THEY ASKED for


after the all 4 level verification completed and accepted by stake Team


they said we still suscept a multiple account breach and we deducted all the winnings which is $1900 and gave me only my initial deposit which i see unfair,

I didn’t complete the wager because they didn’t let me , i ask for a fair review especially that i proved my id and i dont have any other stake acc under my name , i want my winnings back to my acc and i will be more than happy completing the wager requirements,


if anything of the info for this case not clear please ask me to clarify. Thanks guru team

Hello Drnaek12,

We would like to update you that due to Tomas, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Tomas has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

I apologize for the late reply.

I would like to emphasize that our forum Casino.guru deals with complaints regarding online casinos only. I understand it must be difficult for you, but unfortunately, we don’t have enough insight to take on this kind of issue if you only focused on sports betting.

Please understand that if you only placed bets on sports betting and your account has been blocked, the casino probably detected activity that requires further investigation. Since we don't have enough insight into this field of online gambling, we wouldn't be able to interpret the casino's results of the investigation and/or their explanation correctly and judge this case fairly. We don't think that your complaint is unjustified, we just couldn't evaluate the issue properly. We would really like to help, but it is impossible for us this time.

Unfortunately, after gathering all the necessary information we are forced to reject this complaint. Sorry we were not able to help you with this one, but please, do not hesitate to contact us in the future, if you run into any issues with this or any other casino and we will try our best to help.

We’ve reopened this complaint at the request of Drnaek12.

We would like to allow this case one more chance to be resolved and help both parties involved to reach a satisfactory conclusion.

Message from the player:

I wrote it in rush, actually in stake terms you cant place a bet more than %1 of your deposits on bonus, so i cant even put a$150 on sport one time, i was just saying that i wagered and then won 2000$

clearly saying "potential multiple account" asking me to confirm my all 4 levels to make sure of this "multiple



i repeat , i dont care for this account to get unban , i want my winnings, dear casino guru

Thank you for the provided information and evidence, Stake Casino team.



Dear Drnaek12,

After gathering all the necessary information and evidence, we are rejecting this complaint as unjustified due to breaching the casino's terms and conditions and bonus terms and conditions. During the level 4 verification process, certain discrepancies were found. The findings indicate multiple accounts linked to your account that claimed the same bonuses from the same or very similar IP addresses, devices, or user agents. There were also crypto wallet connections and identical or very similar gameplay patterns, which cannot be considered as just a mere coincidence. The casino enforces a strict policy on cases involving multiple accounts used in this manner. It is quite an industry standard rule that each player should access and play in their account only on their personal device. Additionally, the use of shared computers is prohibited due to valid concerns regarding potential access by underage individuals or the possibility of other unauthorized activities occurring on such devices. The casino team has acted in accordance with its terms and conditions, as previously communicated to you.

I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future, and we will try our best to help.


Best regards,

Michal
