You guys are mentioning VPN as the reason KYC was triggered, but OP isn't even denying that. This is not the problem in this whole thing.
The problem is that despite sending the utility bills, they were denied for various reasons.
Why don't we drop the matter of why he was asked to do KYC for a moment and focus on 2 important things:
1. Would any of you be able to pass the requirements (a paper form utility bill, issued in your name, in English, stamped, not older than 1 month)?
2. If he finally gets verified, should he be allowed to withdraw, or not. Because if they have not banned him and started KYC procedure, it was not meant to verify and ban him, but to verify and allow him to withdraw. At least that's how I see it. If they eventually plan to take his money, why make him go through KYC first?

To me it feels like they're doing it on purpose, hoping he decides he can't win and gives up.

Don't take it that I am siding stake here maybe because I wear their signature, na na, If I wasnt wearing this signature, I did say exactly same thing still..

I don't think stake is disregarding anything here, from all that op have shared so far, it's clear that he(op) has had an extensive discussion with stakes customer support before bringing this complaint here, and from everything already shared, this is not a complicated case, it's not the type of case where we need to hear or read from both parties involved to know who's at fault, in such a case as this, it's clear stake has the upper hand, they have the liberty to either respond on keep quiet..
OP broke a rule, and to be given a second chance, he was asked to provide a document which he's not been able to, the document requested is not impossible to get, but it's clear op doesn't have the connection needed to acquire the document, and I believe stake wouldn't have requested such a document from him if he had kept to the rules of the casino.

Well, I read the entire opening post, and even read the extra if there is any..
And I've commented on the issue of stake requesting one document after another before, maybe you missed it, and I can't remember the page, else, I would have pulled the link for you.

Based on my understanding of the situation stake requested a utility bill which op provided, but was first rejected by stake because it wasnt a recent utility bill, op then provided another utility bill a month later that is recent, but written in Thai, stake rejected the utility bill again because it wasn't written in English, op then provided a digital utility bill written in English and recent, stake rejected again because it's a digital utility bill.

Then op asked stake the exact kind of utility bill they want, stake told op to provide a physical utility bill that is recent, written in English, signed and stamped.. Now op said it's impossible for him to find recent utility bill that is signed and stamped, written in English and also on physical form..

I hope this is understandable

It's simple, when someone wear the casino's signature, they will keep to blame the gamblers and favor on the casino even though the accusation is legit. If you want to read the honest review, pay attention with high ranked user who's not wear Stake signature, avatar or personal text.

Currently they only accuse the @OP for VPN usage, don't be surprised you will read someone accuse of multiple account usage, fixed match, and anything that stated on the casino's terms.

Maybe it had something to do with these accusations piling up?
I feel like this is a serious topic that shouldn't be ignored.

Imagine that you wager a million dollars and have a few hundred thousand on your account and get denied withdrawal because you happened to use a VPN one time.
Topics like this one could keep wealthy players away from the casino.

I believe this thread should be noticed by a representative from Stake in the forum. The OP has clearly outlined all the steps they took to comply with the withdrawal requirements from Stake. We are aware that Stake is a multimillion-dollar gambling business, so the withheld amount is not something they would be tempted to run away with, considering their reputation is worth much more.

One of the purposes of having an ANN thread here in the forum is to provide a platform for responses and clarification regarding this accusation. Hopefully, as more members become aware of this thread, representatives from Stake will visit and provide their side of the story on this matter.

Stake hasn't ever penalized someone for using a VPN so that can't be the problem or it would be a first.

All I have experienced about online casinos is if you have one time did something unusual using the platform it will come back to you when you least expected, I have a smartphone that runs two sim card at once and there was a time when I switch my data connection to SIM-2 which is a different internet provider and the casino noticed that I use a new location plus a new IP address, the funny thing was that they don't block me at that moment, it was after few weeks that I am ready to withdraw some money off the casino that they claimed that I need to prove that I own the account.

I was just luck that the amount on the casino is very small as I don't always gamble with large amount of money and that's the third won on the casino, I end up forgetting about the money and leave, since then I have learned to never change operating location and even up address.

This shouldn't be an issue at all but the casinos can make an issue out of those little things we believed shouldn't be a problem, it's like they always find something to use as an excuse against their customers.

I have been using stake.com for several years without any KYC verification and it has been working very well for me and has not caused any problems. This is not a problem for me as I have not exceeded the maximum withdrawal limit without their kyc verification. I don't gamble regularly and don't have a record of huge winnings that exceed the $6000 limit.  But a regular gambler must have kyc verification account. Because they can have a big winning anytime they fail to withdraw their money.
