They've now announced that they're back up and running at full speed with no losses to user funds:
All services have resumed! Deposits & withdrawals are processing instantly for all currencies. We apologise for any inconvenience. 🙏

This isn't surprising considering how much money they make, but it's important to commend the team for making users whole and bringing things back to normal in a matter of hours. Imagine if we could have seen the same at FTX!
The gamblers wanted excitement, right? Well they sure got it tonight.
hold up let me deposit some funds into this…gambling cassino defi that just got hacked i’m sure it will be fine! 🤡
Good stuff, back up swiftly.
FTX? One got hacked and other hacked.
A website which enables users to lose their money, lost their money, to give it back to them, for them to lose it again on their website. They can never lose!
Well, I won’t touch it anyway. Gambling not for me. Do you see the irony?
41 is probably not even much for them. That shit is a cash machine
Im sure im gonna have the same luck as the streamers, I mean its just a coincidence that only streamers with millions of followers are winning constantly, right?

Please dont gamble.
Do they actually let players win? I remember my friend with VIP not even let them win
Was it a marketing stunt or hacking did really happened and they somehow fixed it?!
I don’t know what’s better, to throw $100 at a low-cap new shitcoin, or $100 at Stake. One’s more fun for sure.
So they were basically like: nevermind we back in business, throw your money in.
Damn, good for their customers. Nothing out there is 100% safe
When a gambling platform has more integrity than one of the largest exchanges backed by dozens of politicians and successful business execs had
I love staking ETH, its great passive income.
They should’ve just paid back everyone at FTX. They found like 75% of the money. But after the lawyers drag it out I bet people get like 30%. Basically criminals working for criminals.
They lose a couple million, but they keep the costumers confidence, which in turn will make them billions in revenue.
At least they showed that they honour their commitment to the costumers about the safety of their funds.
Smart move.
Well I am glad they got it sorted out quickly. Would be scary for those who had significant balance in their account.
