Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Star Casino, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. Star Casino strictly enforces age verification requirements. By accessing our services, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not proceed. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of these warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or to pay gambling debts
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, support is available.
