If a deposit or withdrawal does not complete, the funds remain in your original payment method (your DANA, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet wallet, or bank account). We recommend waiting 24 hours before attempting the transaction again, as some payment processors experience temporary delays. If the transaction still does not appear in your stale account after 24 hours, contact our support team with your transaction reference number. We will investigate and either complete the transaction or confirm that it failed on the payment provider's side. For withdrawals, if funds do not arrive in your bank account (mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet) within the standard processing window, notify us immediately so we can trace the transfer with the bank.
RTP stands for Return to Player. It is a percentage that describes, over a very large number of spins, how much of all money wagered on a slot game is returned to players as winnings. For example, a slot with means that over millions of spins, approximately non-specific info of all money bet is paid back as wins, and non-specific info is retained by the game operator. RTP is a long-term statistical measure, not a guarantee on any single spin or session. Each spin on stale slots (Aviator, Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Fortune Tiger, Mahjong Ways) is independent and random. We display the RTP for each game in its information panel so you can make an informed choice about which games to play.

Game rules and settlement
Football bets on stale settle based on the official final result of the match. We use data from official league sources (Liga 1, Piala Indonesia, Champions League, Premier League, and other tournaments) to determine the outcome. Bets are settled within a few hours of the match ending, once the official result is confirmed. If a match is postponed or abandoned, bets are typically voided and stakes returned, unless the match is completed within a specified timeframe set by the league. We display settlement rules for each bet type (match winner, over/under, both teams to score, etc.) before you place the bet. If you believe a bet has settled incorrectly, contact our support team with your bet reference number and we will review it.
If your connection to a live-dealer game (blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Dragon Tiger) drops, your bets that were already placed before the disconnect are still valid and will settle according to the game outcome. If you were in the middle of placing a bet when the connection was lost, that bet may not have been registered. Log back into stale and check your account balance and bet history to see what was processed. If you believe a bet was lost due to a technical issue on our side, contact our support team with details of the time and game, and we will investigate. We maintain detailed logs of all game sessions and can verify what happened. Our live-dealer studios operate continuously, so you can rejoin a game at any time.
Esports bets on stale (Mobile Legends, Free Fire, PUBG Mobile) settle based on the official result announced by the tournament organizer or league. We use verified data sources to confirm match outcomes, map wins, and player statistics. Bets typically settle within a few hours of the match ending. If a match is postponed, cancelled, or rescheduled, bets are voided and stakes returned unless the match is completed within the specified window. We display settlement rules for each esports bet type before you place it. Esports markets can be more volatile than traditional sports due to technical issues or rule disputes, so we recommend reading the specific terms for each tournament. If you have a question about how a particular bet settled, contact our support team.
Yes. For many bets on stale, we offer a cash-out feature that allows you to settle your bet early for a calculated amount based on the current odds and match situation. The cash-out value changes in real time as the match progresses. If you choose to cash out, your bet is closed immediately and you receive the cash-out amount in your account. You cannot reverse a cash-out decision. Not all bets are eligible for cash-out; we display the cash-out option in your bet slip if it is available for that particular bet. Cash-out is useful if you want to lock in a profit or minimize a loss before the match ends. The cash-out amount is always shown before you confirm, so you know exactly what you will receive.

If funds were withdrawn without your authorization, report it immediately so we can attempt to recover them. Going forward, use a strong, unique password and do not share your login credentials with anyone.
KYC stands for "Know Your Customer." It is a standard verification process that we use to confirm your identity and ensure that your account is not being used for fraud or money laundering. When you open an account on stale, we collect your name, date of birth, address, and contact information. Before your first withdrawal, we may request a copy of your national ID, passport, or other government-issued document. We use this information to verify that you are who you claim to be and that you are not on any sanctions list. KYC verification typically completes within one business day. Once verified, you can withdraw funds freely (subject to any transaction limits). We keep your verification documents secure and do not share them with third parties except where required by law.
