Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At Volage Films, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access and use Stake casino through our affiliate links. If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling regulations.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about the amount you spend
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Neglecting family, work, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to feel the same excitement
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing relationship or financial problems as a result of gambling

Stake casino offers several responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Establish a cap on how much you're willing to lose in a session or week
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic logout times to control your playing duration
