Do you guys see any use of Stake.com in this smart betting business?
Thank you.

Don't expect to find good odds when compared to other crypto sites, but they are alright. They limit accounts on stake and bonuses so beware, if you plan to give them a chance verify up to the 3rd KYC step to avoid problems in the future, withdrawals are instant. Used them for about a year, abandoned the site a couple months ago simply because I'm no longer interested, as far as I know they are somewhat tolerant to high rollers, never tested limits as my average sport bet amount was like 60 dollars, so can't tell how quick or how badly they limit stake, but I have seen a lot of complaints on reddit about it.

The vast majority of the BTC bookmakers and the sweepstakes, are using Pinnacle odds with some margin added on top. The same applies for Stake.com.

In reality, you have no reason to use them because you can have the real thing from a Pinnacle clone. However, if you are doing ''crypto-things'', you might want to have them.

What really strikes me negatively, is that I see their logo in many violence videos that I see in X. in almost all of these videos there are community notes. This is a very weird way to promote business, but I must admit, people with high cortisol in their brain might be an easier target for a bookmaker.

Other than that, I have never met anyone from their teams over the years.

I created an account with them about 2 months ago. Based the the reviews I decided to get fully verified before funding my account. ( Level 1 and 2 are almost instant, 3 and 4 are manually processed )

L3 and L4 are still pending for me review after 2 months. Support is saying it's processed on a first come first served basis and I have to be patient. I can only imagine the frustration when they ask people trying to withdraw to get L3 + L4 verification...

Stake.com implements a four-tiered Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process to comply with regulatory standards. Here is a quick guide of what they are asking for (thank me later):

Level 1: Basic Information

Requirements: Just provide your full name, date of birth, country of residence, and address details. This first level establishes your identity with them, and grants access to basic site features.

Level 2: Identity Verification

Requirements: Upload a clear, colour photograph of a government-issued identification document, such as a passport, national ID card, or driver's license. This second level confirms your identity with them, allowing you to engage in deposits, withdrawals, and access additional features like bonus codes and chat functionalities.

Level 3: Proof of Address

Requirements: Submit a photograph of a utility bill (excluding internet or phone bills) issued within the last three months, along with proof of payment for those bills. Ensure the documents are original, signed, stamped, and photographed, not digital versions. This level 3 might be a demanding one. I really can't understand why they need the proof of payment of the bills. Why do they care? This level 3 verifies your residential address to comply with their regulatory obligations.

Level 4: Source of Funds (SoF) Verification

Requirements: Provide documentation to demonstrate the origin of your funds, such as bank statements, payslips, or contracts. These documents should be signed, stamped, and photographed. This final level of KYC is difficult and many people find it as intrusive (like every SoF procedure). It ensures compliance with anti-money laundering regulations by confirming the legitimacy of your funds.

It's advisable to prepare all the necessary documents in advance to facilitate a smooth verification process.

That Bonnie Blue ad really bit them on the butt. They're Everton's shirt sponsor, and they agreed a deal with Chelsea telegraph.co.uk/football/2023/06/15/chelsea-shirt-deal-casino-stake-gambling-ban-three/

These controversial marketing strategies weren't welcome in the UK. Probably they are in Brazil.

As for Bonnie, I see a vendetta with Lily.

At first, it was a good platform. Excellent offers, easily redeemable bonuses, hassle-free withdrawals, and very good customer support. Later on, they started to adopt all the issues typical of betting houses, which made it less appealing on a more professional level, no longer recreational.

If you ask me, the worst fcking casino. They locked over $100K for me in accounts, the latest they locked is 1 month ago with $15K on it.

I played a value bet on some other bookmaker and i decided to make it an arbitrage so i have to play on Stake since they got the best limits. There wasn't a problem with their odds, was same as on any sharp bet, but they locked me. The reason is i think they know when you play arbitrage and whenever they get info they just lock instantly. I have over 100 accounts locked with 20 accounts locked with sums on them

Not sure what you mean by fine betting business.. but I use them to play blackjack. Saw a fortune cookie showing the ad FYI so I haven't played anywhere else (first platform for me)
