Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Safe Gaming

At Star Casino Online, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be viewed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes problematic.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction in Australia) to use our services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to register or place bets.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you or someone you know exhibits any of the following signs, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover what you've lost
• Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the time and money spent gambling
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Feeling a constant urge to gamble or increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression

Self-Help Tools

We provide a range of tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given period
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during your gaming session about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Session Limits: Restrict the duration of your gaming sessions
• Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling by temporarily or permanently excluding yourself from your account

If you would like to set any of these limits or use self-exclusion, please contact our customer support team or visit your account settings.
