How to Delete a Stake Account: Complete Guide (2024)

So, are you wondering whether to delete your Stake account or just take a break? Whether you want to stop gambling for a while or focus on something else, I understand. Life goes on and sometimes you need to take a break. Don’t worry, I’m here to guide you through the account management or suspension options that Stake offers.

Can I delete my stake account?

Can I delete my Stake account? Simply put, no. Unfortunately, Stake, like most gambling platforms, is bound by legal and regulatory obligations and therefore cannot delete your entire account. For regulatory reasons, we need to keep some of your information even after you stop playing.

However, if you decide to stop using your Stake account, there are a few ways to do so. While you can’t completely delete your account, you can control how much or how little you participate in the platform. Let’s take a look at some alternatives.

Self-exclusion

One option is self-exclusion, which allows you to lock yourself out of your account for a set period of time. This is a great way to take a break when you feel you need it. You can choose how long you will be excluded from the platform using the following options:

• 6 months
• 1 year
• Indefinite (this is for when you are sure you are done)

Now, keep in mind that if you choose to opt out indefinitely, your account will be put into “Withdrawal Only Mode” until you actively request a withdrawal. You can request reactivation after 6 months, but this will require a formal review process.

Temporary exclusion

On the other hand, if you don’t want it to be permanent, you can choose a temporary exclusion. This is a more flexible option and allows you to suspend your account for a shorter period of time, such as:

It’s great if you want to take a short break to save money, focus on something else, or simply reevaluate your gambling habits. Temporary exclusions allow you to step away without having to take a full-on break.

How to set exclusions

Setting up one of these options is very simple. Simply go to the “Self-Exclusion” tab on the Stake website. You will receive an email with a confirmation link that will start the cooling-off period. After 24 hours, you will receive another email asking you how long you want the exclusion period to last. If you do not select a period, your account will automatically be reopened at the end of the cooling-off period.

Excluding casinos (for sports betting fans)

Now, if you like sports betting but don’t like casino games anymore, Stake has you covered with Casino Exclusion or “Sports Only Mode”. This feature allows you to enjoy sports betting while blocking only casino games. In this mode, you can:

• Betting on Sports
• Deposits and Withdrawals
• Chat in the chat room
• Claim Bonus

However, the casino section is off-limits, so no more slots or table games. To set this up, contact Stake Support via live chat or email (support@stake.com). Let them know that you want to be excluded from the casino, but still want to bet on sports. As with self-exclusion, you can choose the period of exclusion.

• 1 day (24 hours)
• 2 days
• 3 days
• 5 days
• 7 days
• 1 month
• 3 months
• 6 months
• 1 year
• Indefinitely
