Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At ogdistillery.ca, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. It is a game of chance where the house always has an edge. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age in your province, whichever is higher). Some provinces have different regulations, so please check your local laws. By accessing Stake Casino through our site, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction and that you are not prohibited from gambling under Canadian law.

If you experience any of the following, you may have a gambling problem. Please seek help immediately:

- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling

- Borrowing money to gamble
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
