That room has good ferrol l the bad thing for me, in this case it has an account with them and they closed it to me, arguing that I violated some of their clauses, which was not the case, because the truth was that I only played and I still wasn't playing at high levels and I don't know what it was based on, they never gave me an explanation that practically withdrew the funds I had there and a room that really caught my attention because it had good tournaments with good structures they didn't let me go on and well or in a way
Stake Poker is a good option for beginners because the games are generally softer and the bankroll requirements are lower. With proper bankroll management and consistent study, it is possible to build slowly and move up over time.
So u suggest their rng favours beginners? That would not be a legit place then in my book.Bitmaniac said:
On topic: I can not recommend stake. My .com account got closed and i was moved to a national skin but there i cant verify because they only accept documents of nationals which is outright discrimination. Of course they only made me aware of that after i already sent the docs so now i also need to hope i dont get scammed in some way.
Yes its soft but software is absolutely terrible and u cant really grind there. Everything more than 1 table is uncomfortable because its a web based site with only 1 main screen. Tables pop up back and forth through that 1 screen when multitabling, like on mobile on other sites. Its a very uncomfortable site to mix with other sites.
In the end its a 2 out of 6 stars at max and noone really needs them. Customer support seems pretty clueless in my experience.

I found those low-stakes game options quite interesting to me, i just checked the site now but I don't think online poker is available for Brazilians.. The site is licensed for betting here, but I don't believe that applies to the poker section.. When you visit the site, it redirects you only to the sports betting and casino areas... it's a shame! Something similar happened with bet365 and Betfair, i really enjoyed playing poker there and liked the interface and promotions, but after a new law regulating sports betting in Brazil was passed, they unfortunately shut down their poker sections... I thought that was terrible! Anyway... 💩 😡
To be honest I think, we can say that about a lot of small sites. Volume seem to be concentrated more and more on a handfull of sites with GG Poker and PokerStars being the two main ones. And while its good to have alternatives and competition, a certain minimum of activity is needed for a site to have good game selection and ressources for things like customer service, software development and security. So maybe its fine, if some of the small sites stop operating including this one.Sunz of Beaches said:
Yeah agree but Stake is a bit different. They are the largest crypto casino and I think they dont care about poker too much. Its under their casino games just like a slot game but when u open it a poker lobby opens.fundiver199 said:
They would have huge potential but with that shitty 2009 software and a support that is completely clueless about poker it will be difficult to succeed. More so if they not allow people to play who 100 % should be able to play. Because of their stupid half automatic verification process that is done by a 3rd party and support cant adjust anything there or help with the issue either because they dont want, cant or because they are clueless of what to do.
Its definitely part of the picture, that poker is just a sideshow for many sites, and most of their income is derived from casino games and/or sportsbetting. This is actually good in the sense, that it can finance customer support and software development, which can then also benefit poker players. But even so if there are very few tournaments or cash tables running, and no or little action above microstakes, there is not much reason to play on the site. At least not for anyone, who is serious about poker.Sunz of Beaches said:
Yes it's definitely soft. This already has been said. But soft is not everything and they are far far, very far from an excellent choice. Lol.aorodrigo said:
Support there at max can tell u where certain games are and if ur account is open or not. They answer quick and friendly but that doesnt matter because they are utterly clueless, especially about poker.
When "stake poker" as a game tab was not available first on their new national platform they put me on, they recommended to me to play those poker games where u play against the dealer/house. Told them im not interested and i want to play against other players. Then they answered me "U play there against other players!"
That was one of the dumbest answer i ever got from any support. Guy who answered didnt even knew what im talking about when i mentioned "stake poker"😅
