Responsible Gaming

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Set clear limits and never wager more than you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

Access to gambling services is restricted to individuals aged 18 years or older, or the legal age for gambling in your local Australian state or territory. Age checks are required before any account can be used or deposits accepted.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you notice any of the following, it may indicate a harmful relationship with gambling:

• Chasing losses by returning to win back money quickly
• Hiding gambling activity or lying to family and friends about time or money spent
• Borrowing money or selling belongings to keep gambling
• Neglecting work, study, or personal responsibilities
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or negative feelings
• Losing control over how much time or money is spent

These signs do not mean someone has a problem, but they are a prompt to pause and assess behaviour.

Self-Help Tools

On this website (starplaycasino.sbs) you can use:

• Deposit limits — set a maximum amount you can add to your account per day, week, or month
• Loss limits — cap how much you can lose over a chosen period
• Reality checks — receive timed alerts showing how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
• Self-exclusion — block your own access for a set period or permanently
• Time-out or cooling-off periods — take a short break from gambling

Setting these controls is an active step toward safer play. Check the responsible gambling section of your account settings for available options.
