Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At Longplay.net.au, we believe that gambling should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the movies or dining out. It should never be considered as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always set strict limits on both time and expenditure.

Age Verification

We are committed to preventing underage gambling. To use Stake Casino or any online gambling platform in Australia, you must be:

  • 18 years of age or older (the legal minimum age for gambling in Australia)

We verify all users' ages during account registration. If you are under the legal age, you are not permitted to gamble on our platform. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognise any of these warning signs in your own behaviour? If so, seek help immediately:

  • ☐ Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money you've lost
  • ☐ Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, food, or other essential expenses
  • ☐ Hiding your gambling or lying to friends and family about how much you gamble
  • ☐ Gambling for longer periods than you intended
  • ☐ Becoming anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
  • ☐ Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
  • ☐ Borrowing money to fund your gambling
  • ☐ Feeling a constant urge to gamble with increasing amounts of money
  • ☐ Loss of control over your gambling behaviour
  • ☐ Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling habits

If you've ticked any of these boxes, problem gambling support is available.

  • Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount of money you can deposit into your account.
  • Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a specific timeframe.
  • Time Limits: Receive notifications after a set period of gambling to remind you of the time you've spent.

  • Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing your account for a period you choose (ranging from days to months or years).
