Stake is committed to promoting responsible gambling and provides a range of tools and resources to help users maintain control over their betting activity. The platform recognises that gambling can become harmful for some individuals and takes its duty of care seriously by offering practical measures that users can activate at any time. Users in India are encouraged to set personal deposit limits, loss limits, and session time limits to manage their activity responsibly.

The platform’s support team is available to assist any user who believes their gambling has become problematic or is affecting their personal wellbeing.

The platform is committed to preventing the use of its services for money laundering, terrorism financing, or any other form of financial crime. All users are required to complete identity verification as part of the Know Your Customer process before they can access full account functionality, including deposits and withdrawals. Stake monitors account activity on an ongoing basis and employs automated and manual systems to detect unusual or suspicious transaction patterns. Users identified as engaging in suspicious financial behaviour may have their accounts restricted, their funds frozen pending investigation, or their accounts permanently blocked in accordance with applicable laws. Any information gathered during AML investigations may be disclosed to relevant regulatory or law enforcement authorities as required. Cooperation with such investigations is a condition of continued platform use, and failure to provide requested documentation may result in account termination.

Stake does not sell personal data to third parties, though it may share information with trusted partners, payment processors, and regulatory bodies where required by law. Data collected by the platform is stored on secure servers and is protected in accordance with internationally recognised data security standards. Users in India have the right to request access to the personal data held about them, to request corrections to inaccurate data, and to raise concerns about how their data is being used.

Users who wish to exercise their data rights or raise a privacy concern may do so by contacting the platform’s support team through the designated channels. Stake’s handling of personal data is subject to the privacy laws of Curaçao, and users are encouraged to read the full privacy policy to understand their rights and the platform’s obligations.
