1. General
1.1 Acceptance of Terms
These Terms and Conditions constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“the Player”) and Stake Casino (“the Casino”, “we”, “us”, “our”). By accessing, registering, or using our website and services (the “Website”), you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use or continue to use the Website.
1.2 Risk Acknowledgement
You understand and agree that by participating in casino games you risk losing the money deposited to your account. Gambling involves financial risk, and outcomes are based on chance.
1.3 Legal Compliance and Jurisdiction (Canada)
Online gambling is regulated provincially in Canada. Stake Casino Canada is operated by Medium Rare N.V., a company licensed and regulated by the laws of Curaçao. You access and use the Website at your own initiative and risk, and you are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of our services complies with all federal, provincial, and local laws applicable to you within Canada.
