Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution
At Star Casino Online, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. It is never a way to make money or solve financial problems. Gambling always carries risk, and you should only wager money you can afford to lose.
We are committed to promoting responsible gaming and supporting our players in Australia and beyond.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble at Star Casino Online. In Australia, 18 is the legal minimum age for online gambling in most states.
We use strict age verification procedures. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to create an account or place bets. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of these warning signs? If so, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money needed for bills, rent, food, or other essentials
- Hiding your gambling from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling behaviour
If you recognise several of these signs, it's time to seek help.
Self-Help Tools & Player Protections
Star Casino Online provides tools to help you stay in control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week, or month. Once reached, you cannot deposit further until the period resets.
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose. When you reach this limit, your account will be temporarily suspended.
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered. Take a break when prompted.
- Time-Out (Cool-Off Period): Temporarily close your account for a set period (e.g., 24 hours to 6 weeks) without losing access permanently.
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently close your account if you feel you cannot control your gambling. During self-exclusion, you cannot re-open your account or access our services.
These tools are available in your account settings. We encourage you to use them proactively.
