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.

Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and remember that the odds always favour the house in the long term.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Australia is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal age of majority in your state or territory, whichever is greater.

By accessing Star Casino Online, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction and that you are not prohibited from gambling under Australian law.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

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

• Chasing losses by gambling with increasing amounts of money
• Spending more time gambling than intended
• Hiding gambling activities or the amount wagered from family and friends
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when not gambling
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Feeling a need to gamble with larger amounts for the same level of excitement
• Lying to others about the extent of your gambling
