Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Stake Casino Canada, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in Canada. Stake Casino Canada is committed to preventing underage gambling. All players are required to verify their age during registration. If you are under the legal gambling age in your province, you are not permitted to use our services.
