Responsible gaming

Gambling is entertainment, not income. If it stops being fun, free support is available 24/7.

The basics

  • Only ever play with money you can afford to lose entirely.
  • Set a budget and a session time before you start, not during.
  • Never gamble to recover losses ("chasing").
  • Never borrow money to gamble.
  • Gambling is not an income source. The long-term expected value of casino games is negative to the player.

In-platform tools you should use

  • Deposit limits — cap daily, weekly, or monthly deposits.
  • Loss limits — automatic stop once losses reach a set amount.
  • Wager limits — cap how much you can bet over a window.
  • Session reminders — get pinged every X minutes you're playing.
  • Cooling-off periods — short, voluntary breaks (24h–30d).
  • Self-exclusion — longer or permanent account closure.

On Stake, these are inside your account settings under safer gambling / responsible gambling. Configure your deposit limit before your first deposit.

Warning signs

  • Gambling longer or with more money than you intended.
  • Lying to friends, family, or yourself about how much you're playing or losing.
  • Chasing losses with bigger bets.
  • Borrowing money, selling possessions, or skipping bills to gamble.
  • Feeling anxious, depressed, or restless when you can't play.
  • Gambling interfering with work, study, sleep, or relationships.

Protecting minors

Online gambling is for adults only — 18+ in most countries, 21+ in some. If a minor lives in your home, use parental-control software, keep payment cards secured, and store device passwords where they can't be guessed.
