Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Exiss Australia, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed purely as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we provide access to Stake casino and other gaming platforms, it's crucial to understand that the house always has a mathematical advantage. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits on both time and spending.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to access and use any casino gaming services in Australia. By accessing Stake casino through Exiss Australia, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and encourage parents and guardians to monitor online activity.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in your behaviour or someone else's, problem gambling may be developing:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Losing relationships due to gambling habits
- Experiencing financial difficulties or debt
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable online casinos, including Stake, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a set period
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set duration of play
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently ban yourself from accessing gaming accounts

We strongly encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
