There's a version of you that wants this account gone, and a version that will want it back on Sunday. Do this while the first one is in charge. Stake.us is a sweepstakes casino and sportsbook that has pulled out of many states. State self-exclusion lists don't cover it.
Apps move their menus around a lot. If a step doesn't match your screen, open the app's help or chat and ask for the same thing by name.
How to close your Stake.us account
- Redeem anything you can first (Wallet, then Redeem).
- Go to Responsible Gaming, then Account Closure, confirm and give a reason.
Stake.us says a closed account stays closed until you ask in writing to reopen, at least 24 hours later. Self-exclusion is firmer.
Closing vs. self-excluding from Stake.us
A closed account can usually be reopened. Self-exclusion usually can't be undone early. When you're quitting, the one that's hard to undo is the one you want.
Sweeps coins are still money
Stake.us runs on sweepstakes coins you can redeem for prizes, which is how it operates outside normal gambling rules in many states. If you're buying coins and chasing redemptions, it's gambling. How sweepstakes sites work.
Take a break from Stake.us
- Break in Play: 24 hours to 3 months. It can't be ended early.
Self-exclude from Stake.us
- Self Exclusion: At stake.us/responsible-gaming/exclusion or through live chat. An indefinite exclusion lasts at least 6 months and needs a review to reverse.
Because Stake.us is a sweepstakes betting site, your state's sportsbook self-exclusion list may not cover it. Exclude on Stake.us directly, and on any similar apps you use.
Set limits on Stake.us
No spending limits are documented. Set a limit if you want a speed bump. If what you want is a wall, that's self-exclusion.
Keep Stake.us off your phone
- Remove every saved card and bank link from Stake.us before you close it.
- Lock your phone with a gambling blocker like BetBlocker, and have someone you trust hold the passcode. More blocking options.
- Turn off the noise. Self-exclusion unsubscribes you automatically. Stake.us also suggests unfollowing its social accounts.
Stop Stake.us VIP hosts, rewards and offers
If anyone from Stake.us contacts you personally with bonuses or offers, treat it like a VIP host.
A host's job is to keep you betting, even when they sound like a friend. Self-exclude, put your opt-out request to Stake.us in writing, and screenshot anything that arrives afterward for your state regulator. What to do about VIP hosts.

How long does Stake.us self-exclusion last?
At stake.us/responsible-gaming/exclusion or through live chat. An indefinite exclusion lasts at least 6 months and needs a review to reverse.
Does self-excluding from Stake.us block other apps?
No. Self-excluding on Stake.us covers Stake.us only, and state sportsbook lists often don't reach a sweepstakes betting site. Exclude on each app you use.
What happens to the money in my Stake.us account?
Withdraw it before you close or self-exclude. Some apps lock your balance until a self-exclusion ends.
Should I tell someone I closed my Stake.us account?
Yes. Telling one person makes it harder to quietly reopen, and it gives you someone to text when the urge hits.
