Play it safe
Gambling is for adults (18+, or older where local law requires) only. Slots are entertainment with a built-in house edge: over time, the casino wins. Never gamble to make money or to solve money problems.
Keep it safe
- Decide on a budget before you play and stick to it.
- Set deposit, loss and session limits in your casino account.
- Bonus buys cost many times your bet — treat them as part of your budget, not a shortcut.
- Never chase losses or borrow money to gamble.
- Take breaks, and don’t gamble when upset, tired or after drinking.
- Use self-exclusion if you need a break — Stake and every licensed casino offer it.
Warning signs
Spending more than you can afford, hiding gambling from people close to you, or feeling anxious when you are not playing are signs to stop and talk to someone.
