Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At theatrekwong.com, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means.
Please gamble only what you can afford to lose and set limits that work for your budget and lifestyle.
Age Verification
Online gaming is only for players aged 18 years and over in Australia, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction. If you are under the legal age for gambling, please do not participate in gaming activities. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of these warning signs in your own behaviour? If so, it may be time to seek support:
- Spending more time and money on gaming than intended
- Chasing losses by continuing to play to recover money lost
- Hiding your gaming activities or lying to friends and family about how much you gamble
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you try to reduce or stop gaming
- Using gaming to escape problems, stress, or negative feelings
- Neglecting work, school, family, or hobbies due to gaming
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gaming
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gaming
- Risking relationships or job opportunities because of gaming
- Experiencing financial hardship as a result of gaming
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Stake Casino and responsible gaming platforms offer several tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a gaming session or time period
- Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic session timeouts to help manage how long you play
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up notifications during gaming sessions to remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gaming by self-excluding from your account for a period of time (days, weeks, months, or years)
- Account Closure: Permanently close your gaming account if you need to stop completely
We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming approach.
