ggpoker cashier says withdraw approved but balance still showing reserved funds.

anyone ever have their withdrawal get the green checkmark but the cashier keeps showing money as “reserved” like it’s still in limbo? usually i pull out to crypto so it should be quicker but it’s been hours and the status is stuck, funds no…

stake blackjack balance stayed reserved after i left table and wont release.

Was running my usual blackjack sessions and after a bit of a losing streak, I left the table pretty quick, not expecting anything weird. But when I checked my balance, a chunk of it still showed as "reserved" or locked in, even though I'm n…

stake roulette round showed cancelled then history changed to loss after refresh.

black hit 12 times?

Not kidding, I just watched black come up 12 spins in a row at my local spot. Of course it happened while I was at the sideline deciding if I should jump on or not. I know the odds reset every spin, but seeing it happen live really makes yo…

played limbo for bonus and casino says auto betting looked like abuse.

Tried running up a deposit bonus by playing limbo with smaller bets and cranking up the auto feature. I stuck to pretty basic settings and wasn’t even going wild with the risk, just looking to clear the bonus requirements since roulette was…

roulette bonus says neighbours count but my racetrack bets barely moved wagering.

so i jumped on this roulette bonus that specifically mentions neighbour bets should count for wagering, but i swear my racetrack bets are barely making a dent in clearing it. i'm hitting the racetrack pretty hard, spreading across tieres an…

withdraw queue review

noticed lately that a few places are stretching out the withdraw times way more than they used to, like what used to take a day or two is sliding to three or even five. i'm not talking about issues with bonus playthrough or anything, just b…

bonus wheel landed cash but credited as free spins

Spun the bonus wheel last night. It clearly landed on the cash prize spot but when I checked my account it credited free spins instead. I made a quick note since I always double-check promos for playthrough. The wheel animation stopped with…

welcome bonus says live games excluded but still let me wager on baccarat.

Was using a welcome bonus the other night and noticed it said "live games excluded" in the fine print, but I was able to place bets on live baccarat with no problem. Didn’t get any error or message stopping me from doing it. Now I’m stuck w…

bonus drops page blank

Was just trying to check out the bonus drops page today and for some reason, it's completely blank for me. I usually keep all the privacy blockers and VPN stuff on, so maybe that's messing with it, but I tried turning those off and still no…

Stake originals nonce weird

been running blackjack for a few months now on stake originals, usually keep track of my nonce progression just because i’m that kind of bored. lately i swear something's off with how it moves up - like it skips or jumps when i'm not even a…

blackjack promo says double downs count but progress only moved on regular wins.

Was grinding a blackjack bonus where the terms said double downs would count the same as normal bets, but when I checked my progress bar, only my straight wins bumped the percentage. Lost a couple doubles too and those didn’t help move it a…

bonus landed too late

Was spinning a new slot last night, pretty much burning through my deposit with nothing big happening. Then of course the bonus lands when I’ve got like 60 cents left, and it barely pays anything. Feels like such a common story and I don’t…

casino said my debit deposit was reversed but bank shows it fully charged.

Casino claims my debit deposit got reversed due to "bank rejection" but my account says the funds were pulled and it's settled. No pending or anything, it's actually gone from my balance. Support keeps saying I need to talk to my bank, but…

flopped a set of 7s, mid position, three-way to the flop. two checks to me, i bet about 3/4 pot, one guy calls. turn’s an overcard king, check to me, i go about half pot, he snap calls again. river bricks, i go for value small, and he jams…

live dealer promo says game shows count but crazy coin didnt move wagering at all.

So I saw the latest live dealer promo saying all game shows should count towards the wager, but when I played Crazy Coin the progress bar didn’t budge at all. I switched over to Mega Ball after and that seemed to work fine, so now I’m just…

slot promo says avalanche games count but my cluster pays spins barely moved wagering.

Took up one of those slot promos that says “avalanche” games are allowed for wagering, so I picked a cluster pays slot that drops new symbols after a win. Got sucked in thinking it would chew through the WR quick. Nah. Noticed after like 50…

poker bonus says sit n gos count but my ticket games didnt move progress at all.

So I was working off a poker bonus, and the terms said all sit n gos were supposed to count for the unlock. But I played a bunch of those single table ticket tourneys and my bonus progress bar didn’t budge at all. Double-checked the rules b…
