Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At La Petite Machine, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling always carries risk, and the house always has an advantage. Please play responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal age of majority in your province to access and use Stake Casino Canada. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and protecting young people. If you are under the legal age, please do not use our platform.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following signs, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or loved ones
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions
• Neglecting work, school, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or restlessness when not gambling
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Lying about the extent of your gambling
• Risking important relationships or opportunities because of gambling
