A click on the account button lands you on a screen that says your identity check is pending, your login is blocked, or a payment was refused. Most of these stops come from a mismatch between the details on your profile and the documents or payment source behind them.

Identity verification stuck or documents rejected

The player sees a pending review banner or a message that a document was not accepted, and the account stays limited until it clears.

• Photos are blurred, cropped at the edges or show glare across the text.
• The name or date of birth on the document differs from the profile details.
• A document is expired or only partly visible in the frame.
• A selfie does not clearly match the photo on the ID.
• A proof of address shows a different holder or an old address.

1. Open your profile and compare the name, date of birth and address with the document you plan to send.
2. Correct any spelling or spacing difference before you upload again, because a single wrong letter can fail a check.
3. Photograph the whole document on a flat, well-lit surface, with all four corners inside the frame.
4. Avoid flash glare and shadows; natural daylight works better than a lamp pointed at the paper.
5. Send a colour copy, not a black-and-white scan, so the security features stay visible.
6. For a selfie, hold the phone steady, keep your whole face in view and avoid hats or filters.
7. For proof of address, use a document that shows your name and current address clearly.
8. Upload one document per request instead of combining several files into a single image.
9. Wait for the review to finish before sending the same file again, because duplicates slow the queue.
10. Keep the file size within what the upload field accepts, and convert HEIC photos to a common format first.
11. If the same document is refused twice with no clear reason, contact https://stake-uk.org/ support and attach the original file rather than a screenshot.

Contact support when a document has been rejected more than once without an explanation you can act on.

Login blocked or account locked after failed attempts

The player types the password and gets an error, or a locked message appears after several wrong tries.

• The password was typed with a different keyboard layout or with caps lock on.
• An old password is saved in the browser or password manager.
• Too many failed attempts triggered a temporary lock.
• Two-factor codes come from a device that no longer has the authenticator set up.
• An email address was entered with a typo or an extra space.

1. Type the password by hand in a plain text field first, so you can see exactly what you entered.
2. Turn off caps lock and check the keyboard language before trying again.
3. Remove the saved password for the casino site from your browser, then enter the current one.
4. Use the password reset link sent to the email address on the account, and open it in the same browser.
5. Choose a new password you have not used elsewhere, and save it only after the login works.
6. If a two-factor code is requested, use the current code from your authenticator and enter it before it rotates.
7. When the authenticator device is lost, use a backup code if you stored one.
8. Stop retrying after a lock message, because further attempts extend the block.
9. Clear the browser cache and cookies if the login page keeps returning an error.
10. Try a private window or a different browser to rule out an extension blocking the form.
11. Contact support when the reset email never arrives or the lock persists after you stop trying.

Contact support when you cannot receive the reset email or the lock does not lift once you have stopped retrying.

Deposit or withdrawal declined because of limits

The player submits a payment and sees a message that the amount falls outside the allowed limit for the account.

• The amount is above or below the range allowed for that payment route.
• The account level or verification status caps how much can move.
• The chosen route has a lower ceiling than the one used before.
• Several payments in a short period reached a cumulative limit.
• The withdrawal amount is larger than the balance available for withdrawal.

1. Read the exact wording of the decline message, since it often names the limit that was hit.
2. Reduce the amount to a figure inside the range shown for that route and submit again.
3. If a minimum applies, raise the amount above it rather than splitting into tiny payments.
4. Spread large movements over separate requests instead of pushing one through at the ceiling.
5. Complete any outstanding verification, because an unverified account usually has a lower cap.
6. Check that the payment source belongs to you and matches the name on the profile.
7. For a withdrawal, subtract any bonus funds that are not yet available from the withdrawable balance.
8. Switch to another route only if that route accepts the amount you need.
9. Keep the reference of a declined payment in case support asks for it.
10. Avoid resubmitting the same amount repeatedly; each failed try can count toward a limit.
11. Wait before retrying if the message mentions a temporary cap on activity.
12. Contact support when a decline shows no amount range and the balance is clearly withdrawable.

Contact support when a decline gives no usable range and your balance is fully withdrawable.

Welcome bonus or free spins not credited

The player finishes a qualifying action and the bonus balance or spin counter stays at zero.

• The welcome offer was already claimed on an earlier account or device.
• The qualifying deposit was made before the bonus was selected.
• A payment route that does not qualify was used for the deposit.
• The bonus code was typed with a space or the wrong characters.
• The account was not verified when the offer was claimed.

1. Open the bonus section and confirm whether the offer shows as claimed, active or expired.
2. Check that the deposit was made after you selected the offer, not before.
3. Re-enter the bonus code by pasting it, then remove any leading or trailing space.
4. Confirm the payment route you used is one the offer accepts.
5. Finish any pending verification, since unverified accounts often cannot receive bonus funds.
6. Log out and back in so the bonus balance refreshes on the account page.
7. Look at the spin counter separately from the cash balance, as the two update on different screens.
8. If a deposit is still pending, wait for it to settle before judging the bonus.
9. Do not deposit again hoping to trigger the same offer, because a second claim on one account is refused.
10. Note the time and reference of the qualifying deposit for your own records.
11. Check that no other active bonus is blocking the welcome offer from attaching.
12. Contact support when the offer shows as claimed but nothing was added after a settled deposit.

Contact support when the offer is marked claimed but no bonus or spins appeared after a settled deposit.

Keep your profile details, documents and payment source consistent from the first day, and most of these blocks never appear.
