Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Stake Casino Canada, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds in all games are designed in favor of the house. If you find yourself viewing gambling as income or a solution to money troubles, it's time to seek help.

Age Verification

In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your province) to participate in gambling activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. By accessing this website, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.

If you are under the legal gambling age, please exit this site immediately.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Ask yourself if any of these apply to you. If so, problem gambling may be developing:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills, medication)
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or unable to stop when attempting to quit or reduce gambling
• Neglecting family, work, school, or hobbies due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Experiencing mood swings or emotional distress related to gambling outcomes
• Needing to gamble larger amounts to feel the same excitement
• Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling habits

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Options

We encourage you to use the following tools to maintain control over your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping for the day or session
• Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders at regular intervals to check how long and how much you've been gambling
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended gambling periods
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling at any time—no questions asked
• Account Closure: Request permanent account closure if you wish to stop gambling entirely

Talk to our support team at any time to activate or adjust these tools on your account.
