Play responsibly

18+ only · Last updated 6 November 2026

Rake should be fun. Playing for money is entertainment, not a way to earn a living or win back losses. Only play with money you can afford to lose.

Tools you can use any time

Open Wallet → Limits and breaks in the app.

Deposit limits

Set a maximum you can deposit per day, week or month. Lowering a limit works straight away. Raising or removing one only takes effect after 24 hours, so you have time to think it over.

Take a break

Step away for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 6 months, or permanently. During a break you can't join games or challenges and we won't accept deposits, but you can still sign in and withdraw your balance. A break can be made longer, but it can't be shortened or cancelled early.

Simple habits that help

• Decide how much you'll spend before you start, and stop when it's gone.
• Never chase losses by playing for higher amounts.
• Don't play when you're upset, stressed or have been drinking.
• Never borrow money, or use money meant for rent, school fees or food, to play.
• Take regular breaks and keep time for family, work and friends.

Signs it may be becoming a problem

• You spend more money or time than you planned, or hide it from people close to you.
• You feel you need to play for bigger amounts to feel the same excitement.
• You borrow money or sell things to play, or to cover losses.
• You feel anxious, irritable or low when you're not playing.
• Playing is causing arguments, missed work or debt.

If any of these sound familiar, take a break using the tools above and talk to someone.
