Gold Stake Fails to Unlock (iPhone)

[vocal acorn]

I beat Orange Stake on Spectral Deck, but gold stake did not unlock. I tried ending the run and starting from the main menu, still no dice.

I believe I’ve actually encountered this once before when clearing Blue Deck; I assumed I must have selected the wrong stake by mistake but in retrospect I think it may be the same issue. Beating it a second time with blue deck did unlock gold stake. I will attempt to replicate with spectral and report back.

I’ve heard here and there that this is a known bug on mobile, but I didn’t see it on the Known Bugs post and saw no other posts recently so decided to report.

Follow up: I beat Orange Stake a second time and this time Gold Stake unlocked. It appears that you need to beat Orange Stake twice to unlock Gold Stake, though I didn’t document the previous instance so I can’t be sure. I will see if it is replicable on other decks and report back (in a few days depending on how good I am).

I would advise you not to waste your time, you're not the only one seeing this kind of bug, and it's not exclusive to that stake. It can happen with basically any unlockable in the game on mobile platforms, it's a known old bug.
