What a clueless take. Let’s break this nonsense down.

“If I choose shady way to send my money...”
Buddy — the shady way was literally listed on Stake.com’s own website. The UPI option was displayed, facilitated, and marketed by Stake. The customer didn’t go rogue — he clicked what Stake offered. So let’s stop pretending this was some back-alley deal gone wrong.

“Stake can’t do much about it…”
Then why did they partner with these shady third parties in the first place? When real money flows through your platform, due diligence is your job. If I book a flight on a travel site and the airline vanishes, I don’t go hunt the airline — I go after the platform that took my money.

“Feeling scammed ≠ Being scammed”
Cute. But Stake advertised an official-looking deposit method, took advantage of India’s lax crypto oversight, and when it backfired — washed their hands clean. That’s not just a feeling. That’s a textbook scam through willful negligence.

“This is like blaming the casino when Trump Coin drops…”
No, it's like blaming the casino when the cashier steals your chips and they pretend they never saw you. Total false equivalence. We’re not talking crypto volatility — we’re talking real-world money sent through Stake’s own UPI gateway.

Let’s be honest — you're not defending logic, you’re defending a paycheck from Stake’s signature campaign. Users like you are the reason scams like this survive. You twist the blame back on victims while collecting chips from the very casino screwing people over.

Stake routed Indians through illegal UPI methods. Users got scammed. Stake denied refunds. And now they hide behind “payment providers.” That’s the truth.


Stop gaslighting and stop deflecting.
If Stake is so innocent, let them provide:

The name of this “payment provider”

The date of partnership termination

A public refund policy for failed UPI deposits

Until then, they’re not a platform. They’re a polished criminal enterprise. And your defense? Just another puppet dance.

Hello everyone,

   I made deposit of 500 Indian rupees on 21st March still the deposit not reflected on my balance.  Upon 24 hours I continuously write email everyday to support@stake.com and support+india@stake.com regarding deposit issue today is 5th day I contacted them still no reply and livechat works with bot only I can't describe my issues..
 What's going on stake I never expected this behaviour from stake.

I meant to say that this support claim for reimbursable will work only when both the parties acknowledges it, I don't mean this will work for this but I said how it helped me in such scenario. Let's say I made a transfer to wrong UPI so I have the possibility to contact the receiver via bank and confront them whether this is an actual mistake or not. And it is hard to come into judgment unless the receives accepts that yes it's not the fund that is supposed to be credited here so the bank will reverse this.

I am not an expert, but I have been using the UPI ever since it's available and I got my refund back using this method as well as the alternative which is the traditional way of contacting the bank. This site support system is provided by the government to minimize the workload and encourage the users to report even if there is scam or fund sent as mistake.

We upload the UPI payment proof along with TXid aka ref no and a little description then our bank account and whether the TX is p2p or P to merchant and this works for both the same but I did for p2p though. Once we uploaded there will be support Id or some sort of ref num will be given and then the process will begin which is intimating our bank side and let them know the deposited bank side the funds deposited as mistake so the other party's bank will contact the respective person and see if it's that person agrees yes it is not supposed to be credited then the bank will reverse the funds and this only works if the person accept the fund deposit is a mistake and they give consent to the bank to reverse it.

So whether it is a peron or merchant as long as they gave UPI there will be someone who is real or alteast their identity is being used by the bank account and their details can be fetched by bank in no time if necessary.

The stake support team replied that they're not recieving the cash after 23 days later only, the UPI dispute time was expired
