From time to time, however, they pay money. They paid me once again.

they randomly pay small amounts, to keep people hopes high, but plan to steal large amounts. it is classic thievery method.

Look, I personally didn't like this highstakes site because it seems to be manipulated I've been playing for two months now and I always win tournaments for another phase when it's worth the dollar and I always lost I'm going to deactivate it I won't be wasting my time if they were impartial it would be better

Hi there. This site is a top scam. They change rules few times a day. Average cashout in a month about 200 for me. To withdraw 100 I need to rake 500, and its really hard because cash games NL100+ starts only few times a week. Right now I have frozen more then 20k on my balance. There are like 5-10 guys like me who still plays time to time because we have a lot money stucked in this site. Maybe we can hire some sort of gambling layer, I think we could easily collect like 50k for it. For new players, never come, never register here.

It is very difficult to withdraw any money from this site. I managed to do it several times, but only the minimum amounts ($25). 99% of withdrawal requests are rejected. Their withdrawal rules are a real curiosity. They ask you to earn $50 in rake once and then make a withdrawal without meeting this condition.

Maybe it won't be a scam, but their withdrawal policies make it look like that!!! and it is very difficult for you to withdraw... Playing poker, sports betting or Casino, you will not be able to withdraw your winnings.
Don't waste your time here!

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.

That's why I personally only play freerolls there. I don't do any rebuys or addons. At most, I will lose the ticket I won for free.

It's has been a while since I've opened High Stakes. Maybe 10 days? Not sure.

Just tried to log in but it changed. I can login but it seems that in order to play I have to make a deposit... unless I'm doing something wrong (have never deposited there). Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hi,
I tried also to play through their new software , I have macOS and when I run the software it’s go only in the beginning show “updating” and then the software just collapse and whenever I try to open it again it shows that I can’t open the App.. anyone here have the same problem?

New software. All tickets have actually disappeared. The games are in Euros, not dollars. I don't see any freerolls.

New software comes with virus
System Defender does not recommend installation from unknown sources. A full system scan by Defender did not detect anything. Likewise, ESET did not detect anything.

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 !

I can't find anywhere that they are connected with BetConstruct network . :unsure:

Its seems BetConstruct is new network so i hope for their good they are not connected with Highstakes thieves in any way, that would be look very very bad for them from start.

Yeah, thers's no any news or message comfirmed my opinion. I manully compared with some poker site. Finally I found HS have same system with VBet poker. Worldpokerdeals note Vbet is BetConstruct net work. That's why I think HS is merged with BC network.

the table is very large, it cannot be reduced, it is inconvenient
