Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Big Daddy's Burger Bar, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means. Remember: the house always has an edge, and you should only bet what you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Australia is strictly for players aged 18 years and older. By accessing Stake Casino through our site, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction. We take age verification seriously and may request proof of identity at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a problem with gambling:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time or money spent
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
• Increasing the size of bets to feel the same level of excitement
• Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop
• Failed attempts to control, reduce, or stop gambling
• Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling

Self-Help Tools

Most responsible online casinos, including Stake, offer several tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you're willing to lose in a given period
• Reality Checks: Receive notifications at regular intervals reminding you how long you've been playing
• Session Limits: Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your casino account

Take advantage of these tools when setting up your account or through your player settings.
