^Not yet but I remember I came across a thread that talked about this when submitting KYC verification and I never thought it was the same on Stake.com. It seems awful to them right? Satunna or stake.com staff did not give their opinion here, so what is the use of their ANN thread if they can't give time to answer people's concerns?
Yes that is a lot of money and I hope someday you will get your fund and follow their requirements, that is the problem, we are begging to get back our money and we don't have the right to get it back easily. So if you will deposit into a gambling casino make sure it is a small amount that you can afford.

Again, like I said in my previous comment, if things still be the same as op said it initially,
Then please know that op made mention of having passed level 1 and 2 verification before the whole brouhaha started, he was find with his account but after using VPN, I believe that triggered the level 3 and 4 kyc requirements on his account, after submitting the requested documents and getting rejected multiple times, they resetted the whole kyc process on his account, he had to start all over from level 1 again, and right now, he's stuck with level 3 or 4 - not sure which level..

The moral lesson here is to just avoid doing what ever the casino say they don't like, doing so might just be you inviting unnecessary problems into your life, $6000 is not a small amount of money to lose to be honest.

No top book holds a players money for 3 months. Any other book and guys with Stake signatures would crucify the book. Try to avoid KYC when possible.

I get that he violated the TOS by using VPN which is always complicated territory, but he did submit KYC repeatedly over the course of a couple of months to prove his legitimacy which is why Stake is still at fault here.

They should either release his funds or clarify why they keep repeatedly KYC in this case in my opinion.

Using a VPN is not forbidden on Stake. This is the common wrong misconception about VPN restriction. The only time VPN is restricted to use when you are on a restricted country that online gambling or you are a citizen of restricted country. To make it simple, VPN is restricted to use if you are using it to bypass the country law that restricting you to play on online casino.

On OP cases, Probably he plays online gambling on Thailand soil using VPN to bypass country restriction. This is the reason why the KYC become harder for him even if he is a citizen of a country that allows gambling.

To be clear here and fair to stake, I am not totally without fault.

I did VPN from outside my place of residence for a short period of time. I've been honest on that point, perhaps to my detriment, from the start of this thread.
The account was made in Thailand, was used for a period of time in Thailand, and my primary place of residence is still the one I showed when I first created the account. In thailand. I might even be able to show plane tickets if that helps.

If Stake said, you goofed up because you connected in from outside your area so I am taking your money. I would strongly disagree (and all of you using VPN should be concerned at that verdict) but at least I would be put out of my misery.

However, the initial email I received from Stake suggested they were concerned about multi accounts. I can prove that not to be the case. I can prove i am me. haha.
But it feels like they have decided the verdict from the very start regardless of what I send them in showing otherwise. Which is why 3+ months later. I am in this KYC loop hell.

I have run that site for more than 6 years, I am a Diamond player and I have obtained more than $10k but you only have to comply with the regulations and the verification that is not a problem but if you commit any illegality or false data it will be difficult for you

This is the problem with VPN usage. Your account probably got connected to some other account using the same IP even though you technically operate a single account justifying whatever Stake is doing.

Also, it's weird that the Stake team hasn't replied in this thread yet despite it being created several days ago.

Stake is 100% allowed from thailand. I checked this before i made an account there.

By now, it is clear to us all that stake is allowed in Thailand, that is the reason why you still have access to your account even until now, outside this, you would have been banned by now.

And again, you sure operated your stake account from a country that is on stake's ban list, which is you had to use VPN as you stated in the op, it might not look like it or stake might not directly tell you, but clearly, VPN is the reason why you are having this problem, I've operated my stake account for several years now, and i am only level 1 and 2 verified, I've never been asked to complete level 3 and 4 verification, and I've never used VPN either.
