Responsible Gaming

Juicy Stakes is concerned about problem gambling and would like to remind you to play wisely, and within your budget. For most people, gambling is entertainment - a fun activity that can be enjoyed without harmful effect. But for some, it's not just a game - it's a serious problem that continues even after the fun has gone. Here are some tips to help you stay in control, as well as warning signs and how to get help.

Manage your play

For players who enjoy frequent gambling, it is not uncommon to occasionally overspend their budget. We advise all players to make specific budget plans to ensure their gambling expenditures do not exceed their affordable limits.

Bankroll Protection

Juicy Stakes is proud to offer a feature that allows you to restrict the games in which you play based on the size of your bankroll. By enabling this feature, you can restrict yourself from games for which you don’t have the proper bankroll, as defined by generally accepted standards for bankroll management. Of course, as you win and your bankroll grows, you will automatically be able to play in larger games. To learn more about this feature, please log into the poker client, select 'My Account' and follow the link to the Bankroll Protection information page.

Limiting Your Personal Expenditure

Juicy Stakes provides tools to help you control your gambling. You can establish limits on the amount you deposit over a given period, be it daily, weekly or monthly. Requests to tighten or loosen your limits will take effect immediately. You can set these limits when you first create your account, or you can change them anytime thereafter by visiting the Juicy Stakes Cashier. From the Cashier, click on the 'Limits' button at the top of the screen, and a page will be displayed where you can set your daily, weekly and monthly spending limits.

Self-Exclusion

If you believe you have a gambling problem, or just wish to take an enforced break from gaming, Juicy Stakes gives you the power to temporarily, or permanently, exclude yourself from playing on the site.

If you choose to exclude yourself permanently, your account will be closed, and you will not be permitted to re-open or return to Juicy Stakes at anytime in future. If you choose to request a temporary exclusion, your request will be honored and you may apply for reinstatement at a later date, as per your set instructions.

You can exclude yourself from playing at Juicy Stakes by visiting the Juicy Stakes Cashier. Once at the Cashier, click on the 'Limits' button at the top of the screen and a page will be displayed where you can select a two day, one month or six month self exclusion. Upon the expiry of the requested period of exclusion, your account will be unlocked automatically.

Warning Signs

Compulsive gambling is not easily detected. The person with a gambling problem will often go to great lengths to cover up their gambling activity and will appear all right, regardless of the consequences of their gambling.

Some of the indicators that a person may be suffering from a gambling problem include:

  • Losing time from work or family due to gambling.
  • Repeated failed attempts to stop or control gambling.
  • Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts.
  • Gambling to escape worry or trouble.
  • Neglecting the care of one's self or family in order to gamble.
  • Lying about the amount of time and money spent on gambling.
  • Gambling more money in an attempt to win back losses.
  • Selling or pawning personal possessions to get money to gamble.
  • Feelings of hopelessness, depression, or suicide as a result of gambling.
