Responsible Gaming at Stake

Online gambling should be a controlled form of entertainment, and Stake is committed to promoting responsible gambling among all its users in Argentina. The platform recognizes that some people may develop problematic gambling behaviors, and therefore provides specific tools to help prevent and manage these risks. Among the available resources are the ability to set deposit limits, betting limits, and loss limits, which users can configure directly from their account. Additionally, the platform offers the option of temporary or permanent self-exclusion for users who feel the need to pause their gaming activity for a specific period. Users also have access to risk self-assessment tools designed to identify behavioral patterns that may indicate a problematic relationship with gambling. Customer support is available to assist any user who needs to activate these tools or seek additional assistance. Responsible use of the platform is a shared responsibility between the user and the operator, and Stake actively encourages its users to set limits and seek help if they deem it necessary.

  • Argentine Ministry of Health: provides informational resources and referrals to specialized addiction treatment centers;
  • Ministerio de Salud de la Nación Argentina: dispone de recursos informativos y derivación a centros especializados en adicciones;

Anti-Money Laundering

Stake implements strict anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing measures in compliance with current Argentine laws and international standards applicable to the sector. All users who register on the platform are subject to an identity verification process (KYC) that may include the submission of official identification, proof of address, and, in certain cases, proof of the source of funds. The platform continuously monitors transactions made in user accounts to detect unusual or suspicious transactions that may be linked to illicit activities. When a transaction is identified that triggers alerts based on established criteria, the platform is required to report it to the competent authorities, including Argentina’s Financial Information Unit (UIF). Failure to comply with verification requirements or the detection of conduct related to money laundering may result in the temporary or permanent restriction of access to the account, the withholding of funds, and, in the most serious cases, a report to the relevant judicial authorities. The platform shall not assume any liability for damages caused to the user as a result of measures applied in compliance with these legal obligations.

Privacy and Data Protection Policy

Stake collects and processes personal data from its users in Argentina in accordance with Law No. 25,326 on the Protection of Personal Data and applicable supplementary regulations. The information collected includes identification data, contact information, financial information associated with transactions, activity history on the platform, and technical data regarding the device used to access the platform. This data is used for the purpose of managing accounts, processing transactions, complying with legal and regulatory obligations, preventing fraud, and improving the overall user experience on the platform. The platform does not sell or transfer personal data to third parties for commercial purposes without the user’s express consent, except in cases where required by applicable law. Users have the right to access their personal data, request its correction, update, or deletion, and to revoke the consent granted at any time by submitting a request to the support team or the designated data protection officer. Data is retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes of the processing and applicable legal obligations, including the retention periods required by tax and regulatory laws. All international data transfers are carried out in accordance with appropriate legal safeguards, ensuring levels of protection equivalent to those required by Argentine law. The platform implements technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or improper disclosure.

Platform Security

Protecting user accounts, personal data, and transactions is an operational priority for the platform in Argentina. Stake implements a set of technical and organizational measures that are updated regularly to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of all information managed within the system.

  • SSL/TLS encryption: all communications between the user and the platform are protected by high-level encryption protocols to prevent data interception;
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA): users can enable this additional layer of security to protect access to their account against unauthorized logins;
  • Activity monitoring: the system continuously records and analyzes account access and usage patterns to detect unusual behavior or suspicious access attempts;
  • Identity verification (KYC): The identity verification process reduces the risk of identity theft and protects the integrity of each registered account;
  • Secure password storage: Access credentials are stored using hashing and salting techniques, so they are not stored in plain text on any system.
