Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Star Casino Online, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it should be enjoyed responsibly and within your means.
If you find yourself gambling more than intended or experiencing negative consequences, please reach out for support. Help is available.
Age Verification
Star Casino Online is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Australia. We are committed to protecting minors from gambling harm.
All players must verify their age during account registration. We take age restrictions seriously and reserve the right to request additional documentation to confirm eligibility.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Risk-taking behaviour increasing over time
- Relationship conflicts related to gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, support is available.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Star Casino Online provides several tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a set period
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during play sessions about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic alerts or session end times to manage play duration
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account, preventing access for a specified period
