Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Unfair Document Rejections and Account Lock

Dear Casino Guru,

I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding the handling of my account verification and the continued hold on my funds.

My account has been in good standing for a long period, and I believe I have fully complied with all reasonable KYC and verification requests. However, despite submitting genuine documents multiple times, my account remains locked, and my funds are still being held without a clear or consistent explanation.

Below is a brief timeline of events:

1. I created my Stake account approximately two years ago.
2. Shortly after registration, I completed ID verification successfully.
3. At that time, I contacted customer support to ask if any additional documents (such as proof of address) were required. I was clearly told that no further documents were needed and that I could use my account without any issues.
4. Based on this, I continued to use my account for around one and a half years without any problems.
5. On 01/09/2025, my account was suddenly locked by the Security Team, and I was informed that I needed to complete address verification and proof of payment verification. My available balance in the account was immediately put on hold.

Since then, I have cooperated fully and submitted multiple genuine documents, including but not limited to:

1. Bank statements from two different banks (including City Bank and Dutch-Bangla Bank).
2. Official bank reference letters from these banks.
3. A utility bill (electricity bill) in PDF format.

In total, I have provided at least six different types of documents so far. Despite this, every submission has been rejected, and each time I am asked for different or additional documents.

I want to stress the following points:

1. The documents I provided are real, official, and current, issued directly by recognized banks and utility providers.
2. These exact same documents have already been accepted without any problem by multiple regulated forex brokers (3–4 different forex trading accounts) and several other betting platforms, where my accounts are fully verified.
3. Obtaining these bank reference letters and statements required me to visit the bank multiple times over several days (3–4 days), which is not a trivial task.
4. Despite my full cooperation and good faith efforts, Stake continues to reject my documents without a clear, consistent, or reasonable justification, while my funds remain blocked.

This situation is causing me significant stress and inconvenience. It also feels unfair that genuine documents from reputable financial institutions in my country are being repeatedly dismissed, especially when other financial and betting platforms have accepted them for KYC without any issue.

I respectfully request the following:

1. A clear and detailed explanation of why each of my submitted documents was rejected, instead of generic rejection messages.
2. A single, precise checklist of documents that your team will accept for both proof of address and proof of payment, so that I do not have to guess or repeatedly submit new types of documents.
3. An escalation of my case to a senior member of the Security/Compliance team for manual review, considering the full history and the genuine nature of my documents.

A fair and timely resolution, including either:

1. Acceptance of the documents I have already provided and full restoration of my account, or
2. A clear and lawful process to release/withdraw my funds if you decide not to continue our business relationship.

I have always acted in good faith and complied with every request made by Stake. I simply expect to be treated fairly and to have my account and funds handled in a transparent, consistent, and reasonable manner.

Please review my case again as a priority and let me know the exact steps needed to resolve this matter. I am ready to provide any realistic and clearly specified documents that are actually acceptable under your policies, but I cannot continue in an endless loop of rejections without proper justification.

Thank you for your time and understanding. I look forward to your prompt and fair response.

Sincerely,

Parvin B.

Have any of your documents been approved and successfully verified?

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

Hello Veronika,

Thank you very much for your reply and your willingness to help with my case.

I will forward you, by email, to [email protected]

All the documents that I have already sent to Stake for verification.

These include:

1. Bank statements from Dutch-Bangla Bank
2. Official bank reference letters from Dutch-Bangla Bank
3. A recent electricity bill (utility bill) in my name and at my residential address, with payment proof

1. When was the last time you submitted documents, and which ones were they?

The last time I submitted documents to Stake was on 01/11/2025.

On that occasion, I submitted:

1. Bank statements from Dutch-Bangla Bank
2. Bank reference letters from Dutch-Bangla Bank
3. My electricity bill (proof of address)

Before that, I had also sent similar sets of documents (bank statements, reference letters, and utility bills) several times, as requested by their support and security team.

2. Have any of your documents been approved and successfully verified?

Only my ID verification was approved about two years ago, shortly after I opened the account.

All documents that I have submitted recently for proof of address and proof of payment have been rejected by Stake, even though they are genuine documents issued by my banks and utility provider. None of these newer documents has been accepted so far.

3. Are you able to access your casino account, or has it been blocked due to verification problems?

My account was locked by Stake’s Security Team on 01/09/2025 due to the verification request.

Since then:

1. I can no longer use the account normally.
2. My balance is on hold, and I cannot withdraw my funds.
3. The account is effectively blocked until the verification is completed.

I have been cooperating fully and sending every document they requested, but they keep rejecting them without a clear explanation, while my funds remain frozen.

Every time they ask for alternative proof of address, I don't have any alternative documents without the above document, which I sent to you via email.

Thank you again for taking the time to look into this. I hope that with your assistance, this issue can finally be resolved and my funds can be released.

Best regards,

P. B.
