Stake Casino - Player's account permanently closed despite completed KYC verification.

Stake.com suddenly requested a new round of KYC verification, which I accepted and complied with fully. Despite submitting all required documents, including stamped payslips and bank statements for Level 4 verification multiple times, they decided to permanently close my account.

Now, they have stopped replying to my emails, and my wallet has been closed, preventing any withdrawals. I am at a loss for what to do next. I am a fair player who, unfortunately, had a significant amount of money in one casino account, and this situation is financially devastating for me. Is there anyone who can help me resolve this issue?

I am prepared to upload any necessary documents I have previously sent to Stake.com to demonstrate my full compliance and transparency.

I have notified them that I did forget to change my occupation before i re-sent my payslips. They did not seem to care about this, nor even reply to it, with anything more than that my account is permanently closed.

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely. 

• Could you please advise how long ago you registered your account and if you’ve completed the account verification successfully? 
• Which games you’ve been playing (live casino games, slots, or sports betting)? 
• Were your winnings accumulated with or without an active bonus, please?
• If there’s any relevant communication, please forward it to petronela.k@casino.guru. 

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

My account was created around 11.17.2022 Atleast thats my first deposit.

I have played mostly on sportsbook. But whatever ive played, its the KYC wich is the problem here, not my gaming activity.

I have never had en active bonus, ony recived VIP reloads.

I will forward the few responses ive recived, thanks.

Thank you very much, Soffaspillern, for providing all the necessary information.

I would like to invite Stake Casino’s representatives to join this discussion in order to resolve this issue.

Dear Stake Casino,

Could you please provide additional information regarding the closure of this player's account? According to the player's communication with the live chat agent, there were issues with the uploaded documents. Could you clarify specifically what was wrong with these documents?

Best Regards,

Jakub

Dear Stake Casino,

Thank you for sharing your statement. I would like to ask you to send any supporting evidence to my email address (jakub.m@casino.guru).

Dear Soffaspillern,

Could you please send the documents you submitted for the casino verification process to my email address above? This will enable us to thoroughly investigate the case and verify the documents against the casino's claims.

Thank you Kubo. And thank you Stake for comming here to sort this out.

I am still at a loss of what ive done wrong. I am who I say I am. I own the appartment ive been asked to verify, I also work where i say I work.

I do hope Stake soon will accept that this has been a mistake from their part. And at the very least, let me withdraw my balance.

I will gladly send in any documents they request, as long as the Norwegian government, my employer or my bank can provide them.

I have sent the documents for level 4 verification, as this is where they allegedly say im trying to deceit them, wich I do not understand.

Thank you Kubo. And thank you Stake for comming here to sort this out.

I must add: If the problem is my occupation/source of funds. I will happily update my lvl 1 verification. I im quite sure i did mention this while sending in my lvl 4 verification to the live chat support, that I did forget to update my occupation (From lvl 1 verification) as i did change jobs in february. I do hope this is not the case, and that this might sort it all out? I have no reason to "fake" my employer, nor that I have changed jobs. This is just a stupid mistake from my side.

Regards
