Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Emerald Roofing Services, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyable entertainment only. Gambling should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It carries inherent risks, and the odds always favour the house.
We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and providing support for those who may be affected by problem gambling.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is restricted to persons aged 18 years and over. By accessing Stake Casino through our affiliate links, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access gambling services. Operators have a legal obligation to verify your age before accepting bets.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognise these warning signs in yourself or others:
- Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling experiences
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the desired excitement
- Repeated unsuccessful attempts to control or stop gambling
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce gambling
- Gambling as a way to escape problems or negative emotions
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Lying to family, friends, or professionals about gambling activities
- Jeopardising relationships, education, career, or financial opportunities due to gambling
- Relying on others for money to cover gambling losses
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
If you recognise any of these signs, it's important to seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Protective Measures
Most responsible gambling operators, including Stake Casino, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic time reminders to take breaks from gambling
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications during gameplay to remind you how long you've been playing
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling accounts
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We strongly encourage you to use these tools proactively, regardless of whether you feel you have a problem.
