Responsible Gaming
Introduction
Gaming at Star Casino should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and the outcome of all games is determined by chance. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age for gambling in your state or territory) to participate in any gaming activities at Star Casino. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not proceed. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor their children's internet usage.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Spending more money or time gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Jeopardising relationships, employment, or education because of gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, support is available.
Self-Help Tools
Most gaming operators, including Star Casino, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming activities for a set period or permanently
- Session Limits: Set time limits for individual gaming sessions
These tools are free and designed to help you stay in control. We encourage you to use them.
