Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Eagle Cultural Tours, we believe that gaming at Star Casino should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
If you're going to play, set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it. Remember: the house always has an edge, and you should never gamble with money you need for essentials like rent, food, or bills.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in Australia. Gaming is strictly prohibited for anyone under the legal age. If you are under 18, please do not access gaming services.
Star Casino verifies age through appropriate identification checks. We are committed to preventing underage gambling.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do any of these apply to you? 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 essential expenses
- Hiding your gambling from family, friends, or healthcare providers
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you try to cut down or stop
- Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Feeling that gambling is the only way to escape stress or emotional problems
- Returning to gamble again soon after a loss
If you recognise any of these signs, help is available and seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Self-Help Tools & Player Protections
Star Casino and gaming operators provide several tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming services for a period you choose
- Time-Out: Take a break from gaming for a set period without closing your account
Contact Star Casino directly to activate these tools, or speak with a customer service representative about the options available to you.
