Account (John1y): Unlawful Withholding of $1,030 USD Due to Unachievable Regional Verification Demands
My username on Stake is John1y. I am writing this review to highlight an extremely unfair verification loop by Stake that is currently preventing me from withdrawing my balance of $1,030 USD.My identity is fully verified with my official government ID. However, Stake placed my account under Level 3 (Address Verification) and Level 4 (Source of Funds) restrictions, demanding corporate payslips and stamped bank reference letters.To prove my address, I submitted my home utility bills (water bills). Since I reside in my family home in Yemen, these bills are under my father's name. After inspecting these valid utility documents, Stake's support completely rejected them and demanded that I instead provide a stamped bank reference letter alongside a bank statement, or obtain a notarized municipal declaration—requirements that are practically impossible to fulfill under local Yemeni infrastructure.Furthermore, for the Source of Funds, I explained that I am an independent, self-employed home tailor receiving cash payments. Corporate payslips legally DO NOT EXIST for my situation. Despite this, support agents (Aleksandar, Jelena, Leontina) continuously copy-paste automated responses demanding non-existent corporate documents and refusing to escalate the case to senior management.Forcing a user into an unachievable document loop while holding $1,030 USD is an unfair confiscation of player funds. If Stake cannot accommodate freelancers from restricted regions, they must perform a manual administrative review and allow a one-time final withdrawal of my funds to close the account.Account Username: John1y
