Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Stake Casino, we believe gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like going to the movies or playing sports, gambling should be enjoyable and within your means. If you find yourself gambling more than intended or spending money you can't afford to lose, it's time to seek help.

Age Verification

Gambling is strictly for adults only. In Australia, you must be at least 18 years old to gamble legally. If you are under 18, please do not participate in any gambling activities. Parents and guardians are encouraged to discuss responsible gaming with young people in their care.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know?

• Chasing losses — gambling more to try to recover lost money
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the time and money spent
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
• Neglecting family, work, or social commitments due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut back
• Increasing the amount wagered to achieve the same level of excitement
• Failed attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Experiencing negative consequences (financial, legal, relationship) due to gambling

If you recognize any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.
