Impersonators - Stake should fix this...

[hillowner45]

I'm pretty sure someone made an account to impersonate "StakeLottery" with "stakelottery", to funnel tips. But Mirela mentioned that only one instance of a name can exist regardless of capital letters. But when I viewed the stats of both accounts they were different, so I'm pretty curious as to what's going on.

As I saw, fake one was with only one "t": "StakeLotery"

There has been StakeLottery (one t less), it has been banned quickly.

Bugger me that's a good one, well done on finding it. I could only imagine the amount of people who would fat finger and miss the double "t" in lottery. Did they manage to get anyone?

If I remember well, only one small tip was sent to that one. Luckily, the account has been spotted and banned very quickly, thanks to the vigilant community that reported immediately. 😎

There is no solution to this without changing the font. If you are a person who is inclined to just send tips to people regularly then its your own responsibility to practice caution. You are responsible for your own finances. We cant babysit you and your decisions. Most players use the feature in settings to decline any private messages from people who aren't their friends, which is a very practical solution to the problem. It's your choice whether you want to use it or not. We can't force you.
