Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Star Casino Australia, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gaming outcomes are based on chance, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. 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 in your Australian state or territory) to access Star Casino Australia and place bets. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under the legal age, please do not participate in any gambling activities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, it may indicate a problem with gambling:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
• Experiencing relationship problems due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Missing work, study, or family commitments due to gambling

Self-Help Tools

Most gambling operators, including Star Casino Australia, offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
• Reality Checks: Receive notifications during your gaming session to remind you how long you have been playing
• Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from gambling for a set period if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if necessary

We encourage you to use these tools to maintain responsible gambling habits.
