Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At L'Autre Salon, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Gambling with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Lying to family, friends, or professionals about gambling activities
• Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other problems
• Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Feeling restless, anxious, or irritable when trying to reduce gambling
• Gambling longer or with more money than intended
• Unable to control, cut back, or stop gambling despite wanting to
• Hiding gambling activities or the extent of losses from loved ones

Self-Help Tools & Resources

Most online gambling platforms, including Stake Casino, offer built-in responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a given timeframe
• Reality Checks: Receive regular pop-up reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a predetermined period of play
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing your account for a set period, ranging from weeks to years

We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Take control of your gaming experience and gamble within your means.
