Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At andytruong.net, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all our players to gamble responsibly and within their means.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities, including online gaming at Stake. We take age verification seriously and verify the age of all users during registration. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:
- 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 gamble
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or cope with negative emotions
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Jeopardizing relationships or career opportunities because of gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately.

- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of losses you are willing to accept within a specified time period
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about your gaming session duration and expenditure
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing Stake if you feel your gambling is out of control
