I just got scammed out of a $1,333 tournament ticket by HighStakes as well..
Won this ticket just over a month ago for their Sunday HighRoller tournament. Buy-in $1,333, scheduled to run every Sunday.
However, the tournament literally never runs. The tickets are valid for one month only. In the month that my ticket was valid I had 5 Sundays, tried every single one of them. The tournament is set to run with 15 people minimum and got 5-6 including me. Got canceled every single time.
And the best detail: most tournaments on this site run with 5 players minimum. This one would run, BUT the minimum is set at 15, ensuring it does not run ever. Makes zero sense!!! 100% done on purpose to take players' money in satellites and award worthless tickets that will expire because there is no way to use them.
So angry. Was hoping someone had some advice on whom to contact about this, etc. Didn't realize it was a scam site to start with.
Well, unfortunately i must say to you : it doesn't even matter ! Even if this tournament magical start and you win something, they will not allow you to withdrawal your money, so don't bother about this.
They are under GC gaming Curacao licence, i report them there and on several other sides when they steal my money, but nobody respond.
99% reviews is bad for highstakes, on all forums, on all social platforms, on google, literally everywhere and people still play there...
PEOPLE, DONT DEPOSIT NOTHING ON HIGHSTAKES.COM , DONT PLAY EVEN FREEROLLS BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO WITHDRAWAL IF YOU SOMETHING WIN ! HIGHSTAKES.COM IS CONFIRMED SCAM SITE !
Im long time profesional player, 10+ years, i played on 20+ different sites , i would never make this statement if isn't true !
