Responsible Gaming

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money. Always play within your means, set time and money limits before you start, and never chase losses. If gambling stops being fun, take a break.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older, or the legal gambling age in your province or territory within Canada, to engage with any casino or betting services promoted on this website. We encourage all visitors to verify their local legal requirements before participating in any gambling activity.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

The following behaviours may indicate that gambling is no longer a harmless pastime. If you recognise several of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, consider seeking help:

• Chasing losses by returning to gamble again soon after losing money
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about time and money spent
• Spending more than you can afford or borrowing money to gamble
• Neglecting work, studies, family, or social responsibilities because of gambling
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop
• Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
• Repeated unsuccessful attempts to control or stop gambling
• Experiencing guilt, shame, or regret after gambling sessions

Self-Help Tools

Many gambling platforms, including Stake, offer practical tools to help you stay in control. You can often activate these directly in your account settings:

• Deposit limits — cap the amount of money you can add to your account over a day, week, or month.
• Loss limits — set a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a given period.
• Reality checks — receive periodic notifications showing how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
• Self-exclusion — temporarily or permanently block your own access to your gambling account for a chosen period.

Use these features proactively, before gambling becomes difficult to manage.
