Hello Stake Community & Staff,
Today I hit 1000x+ in the Buzzer Beater challenge (1st place, $600 prize) Immediately after, @DragoslavPbanned my account and a mod deleted my winning entry post from the challenge thread. Reason given: multiple accounts.
━━━━━━━Never Used Multiple Accounts in Any Challenge.. Not Once.
My Account: https://stakecommunity.com/profile/215188-adanakebb/
@adanakebb has been active since March 30th with 71 posts — this is the only account I have been using consistently.
Yes, I have used other account on this forum before March 30th — again BEFORE and never at the same time or so for PRIVACY reasons. As many of you know, every time someone wins a challenge here, their username gets publicly posted in the winners list. After a large win, I did not want my previous winnings to be traceable ... I simply did not want people to see my full win history across all challenges. I even tried to delete my old account ... but unfortunately that is not possible on this forum. That is a personal choice and a platform limitation, not cheating.
And this isn't even my first win here... just on May 8th I finished 2nd place with @adanakebb in the same Buzzer Beater challenge, received my prize without any issue: https://stakecommunity.com/topic/173130-daily-challenge-buzzer-beater⚡-08052026/
Zero warnings. Zero issues. Until today — the day I hit 1000x+ and the prize jumps to $600.
The Rule Speaks for Itself says:
Challenge Rule 6: "Any player USING multiple accounts will not be eligible for prizes."
The keyword is USING... not "having registered" or "having ever created." I was not using multiple accounts in this or any challenge. One account. One entry, always.
━━━━━━━ My Questions
1) Why was specifically my winning entry post deleted... the one containing my bet ID and proof of the 1000x+ win? If my account was invalid, simply disqualify the entry. Deleting that specific post removes all evidence that I participated and won.
2) I was credited a $4 prize from another challenge recently from @DragoslavP itself, with this same account. Valid for $4 — but suddenly not valid for $600?
3) I have been active here since March 30th with 71 posts. Why was there never any warning or issue before, only now, after my biggest win?
4) I also noticed something...not pointing fingers, just saying: almost every day, the same usernames appear in the Top 3 winners of this challenge. I am not claiming anything, but I think it is worth looking into, especially in light of what happened to me today.
━━━━━━━━━━━━ What Happens now?
Even if this gets resolved, what about next time? If I hit another big win, will the same thing happen again? I need a straight answer from staff. Otherwise why would I even bother participating here anymore.
━━━━━━━━━━━━ One last thing I noticed:
The challenge pays $300/$200/$100 for Top 3, doubled if you hit 1000x+. With my entry, two players hit 1000x+ total payout $1,100. Without me, only one does — total drops to $900. That's $200 less. Just saying.
I am open to a full review and can provide screenshots and evidence for everything.

━━━━━━━━━
I want to close with this: I have NEVER cheated. I have never tried to gain an unfair advantage. I am an honest player, VIP Platinum 2 on Stake, and an active Player for a long time.
This decision is not just unfair, it is damaging to the image of these challenges. Any player reading this will ask themselves: "If I hit a big win here, will the same happen to me?"
The bet ID exists. The multiplier exists. The win is real. I did everything right. I expect this to be corrected.
Thank you for reading. I trust this community and Stake staff to do the right thing.
@stake Support...please investigate.
