Responsible Gambling

Responsible gambling information for Australian players — recognising problem gambling, setting limits and where to get help.

StakeInsider AU is committed to promoting responsible gambling. Online casino gaming should be an enjoyable entertainment activity — not a financial strategy or an escape from personal problems.

Know the Signs of Problem Gambling

Gambling may be becoming a problem if you:

  • Spend more time or money gambling than intended
  • Gamble to recover losses (chasing losses)
  • Neglect work, family or social responsibilities because of gambling
  • Feel anxious, irritable or depressed when not gambling
  • Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling
  • Lie to family or friends about your gambling activity

Setting Limits

Most reputable online casinos, including Stake, allow you to set voluntary deposit limits, session time limits and self-exclusion periods. We strongly encourage all players to use these tools proactively — before problems develop rather than after.

At Stake Casino, you can access responsible gambling settings through your account dashboard under Settings → Responsible Gambling.

Age Verification

Online gambling is only legal for adults aged 18 and over in Australia. If you are under 18, do not gamble. If you are concerned that a minor may have access to gambling sites through your device, consider using parental control software such as Gamban.

Self-Exclusion

If you need to stop gambling completely, you can self-exclude from multiple Australian gambling venues and websites through the BetStop National Self-Exclusion Register: betstop.gov.au. This is free, confidential and permanent.
