The Stake platform operates in accordance with Responsible Gaming policy.

Stake Responsible Gaming

We want our players to have only an enjoyable experience with us and promote responsible gaming practices. Stake offers many tools to build healthy gaming habits and prevent addiction. We advise you to read this page thoroughly to gamble responsibly.

Basic Rules of Responsible Gaming

By following really simple responsible gaming rules, you can take your gaming habits under control:

  • Create a budget and stick to it. Never bet money that you can’t afford to lose;
  • Bet only for the fun of it. Gaming and betting should not be viewed as a way to make money or fix financial problems;
  • Keep track of your time and spending. Keep track of the duration and frequency of your gambling activity;
  • Never chase losses. Allow losses to be what they are while gambling and avoid the effort to recoup money by increasing stakes;
  • Take breaks from time to time. Ensure that gaming does not intrude into your private, professional, and social life;
  • Utilize responsible gambling measures. Use deposit limits, time-out period, and exclusion if needed.

Identifying Gambling Issues

Sometimes it might be hard to notice that you have problems with gambling because often the addiction develops unnoticed. Below are some of the signs that may indicate that you must take your gaming under control:

  • You spend much more than you can afford;
  • You borrow money to play games;
  • You gamble even when you don’t want to;
  • You get very angry or depressed after an unlucky session;
  • You started to play even more despite financial or personal issues;
  • Gambling has severely worsened your relationships.

How Stake Supports Responsible Gambling?

At Stake, our concern is the well-being of our users, and we strive to encourage responsible gaming. We provide a variety of tools and services to help you maintain control and make gambling an enjoyable and engaging experience:

  • Deposit Limit – Set an amount of deposit within a specified time frame to manage your budget effectively;
  • Time-Out Periods – Take a break in an instant by temporarily blocking access to your account when necessary;
  • Self-Exclusion – If gambling becomes a problem, we enable you to choose an interval of extended account suspension to regain control;
  • Dedicated Support Team – Our customer support team is always ready to offer advice and guidance in responsible gaming. Request assistance whenever you need;
  • External Support Networks – We refer you to specialist organizations that will provide assistance, counseling, and therapy for your gambling issues.

Self-Exclusion Process

Self-exclusion is a voluntary option that allows you to stop gambling for a predetermined length of time while having your account suspended. This judgment cannot be overturned or shortened under any circumstances. While self-excluded, you will be unable to access your account, receive promotional offers, place bets, or make deposits. If you want assistance, our support team is ready to help.

Consequences of Violating Self-Exclusion

Breaching a self-exclusion agreement will lead to your account being suspended permanently. Any winnings accumulated while you were excluded will be lost. We do make reasonable efforts to block access, but it is also your responsibility to adhere to the agreement.

Reinstating Your Account

When your self-exclusion period expires, your account will immediately reopen. You will get a confirmation email to your registered email address. If you want to prolong your exclusion, you can seek an extension.

Preventing Underage Gambling

Our goal is to always protect children from unhealthy and dangerous gaming habits. It’s the parents’ responsibility to ensure that children are not exposed to gambling:

  • To prevent gambling websites from being accessed via public computers, we recommend the use of parental control software.
  • If you suspect a child is playing with a gaming account, report it to us immediately.

We implement mandatory age verification to make sure that only adults visit and gamble on our site.
