You could probably just check for null outside of your expression, like this:

if (LocalWaitingListTypeId > 0 || (GlobalWaitingListTypeId > 0 && StakeBuyInIds != null))
{
    if (StakeBuyInIds != null)
    {
        objWaitingListUser = objWaitingListUser.Where(
            x => x.WaitingListTypeId == LocalWaitingListTypeId || 
                 (x.WaitingListTypeId == GlobalWaitingListTypeId && 
                  StakeBuyInIds.Contains((Int32)x.StakeBuyInId));
    } else {
        objWaitingListUser = objWaitingListUser.Where(
            x => x.WaitingListTypeId == LocalWaitingListTypeId || 
                 x.WaitingListTypeId == GlobalWaitingListTypeId);
    }
}

You might also be able to do this:

if (LocalWaitingListTypeId > 0 || (GlobalWaitingListTypeId > 0 && StakeBuyInIds != null))
{
    var arrayNull = StakeBuyInIds != null;
    var array = StakeBuyInIds ?? new int[0];
    objWaitingListUser = objWaitingListUser.Where(
        x => x.WaitingListTypeId == LocalWaitingListTypeId || 
             (x.WaitingListTypeId == GlobalWaitingListTypeId && 
              (arrayNotNull || array.Contains((Int32)x.StakeBuyInId)));
}

It effect it tests for null outside of the query, but ensures that it cannot be null when actually executing the query.

The waitingListTypeId and stakeBuyinId should be nullable int in your relational object WaitingList.

List<int?> WaitingListTypeIds=new List(new int?[]{1});
    var StakeBuyInIds=from w in WaitingListsCollection where new List<int?>(new int?[]{5}).Contains(w.StakeBuyInId) && w.WaitingListTypeId = 2;
        var output= from w in WaitingListsCollection where  WaitingListTypeIds.Contains(w.WaitingListTypeId) || StakeBuyInIds.Contains(w.StakebuyInId)
