Deposits, Withdrawals and Verification at stakes

Account verification — sometimes called KYC — is how we confirm your identity and protect your balance. It's a one-time process that unlocks full withdrawal access. We ask for a government-issued ID, like a state driver's license or US passport, and occasionally a document that confirms your address. Upload photos directly inside your account on mobile or desktop. Once we review and

approve your documents, your account is fully verified and future withdrawal requests move through without an extra ID prompt. Think of it less as a checkpoint and more as us locking your payout path down for your protection.

When you want to move winnings out of your stakes account, go back to the cashier and select Withdraw. We route payouts through the same method you used to deposit — so if you funded with Venmo, your withdrawal goes back to that Venmo account. That keeps the money flow clean and reduces the chance of a delay. You'll need to confirm

the amount and, if your account verification isn't complete yet, complete that step before the request processes. There are no invented timelines we can promise, but matching your deposit method to your withdrawal method is the single fastest path we can describe.

Opening the cashier inside your stakes account takes about three taps on mobile. Choose PayPal, Venmo, or Play+ from the deposit screen — each pulls from the wallet you already use for everyday spending. PayPal and Venmo link directly to your verified wallet balance or connected checking account. Play+ works like a prepaid card: load it, then spend from it inside your

account. No new financial accounts to create. Enter the amount, confirm the transfer, and your balance updates so you can head straight to the lobby. Players in Columbus and Charlotte have used this same path on NFL Sunday without a hitch.
