Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Stake, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our players' wellbeing. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities, including online casino games on Stake. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly accept registrations from anyone under the legal gambling age. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access gambling services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:

Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
Hiding gambling activity or lying about the extent of gambling
Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
Experiencing mood changes (irritability, anxiety, depression) related to gambling
Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
Feeling restless or anxious when not gambling
Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
Risk of losing important relationships, jobs, or educational opportunities

Self-Help Tools

Stake provides several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a session or over a period
Session Limits: Set time restrictions for your gaming sessions
Reality Checks: Enable reminders during gameplay to help you stay aware of time and money spent
Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you need a break from gambling
