Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At ourhungryfuture.org, we believe that gambling should only ever be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Star Casino games are designed for fun, with outcomes determined by chance. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to gamble legally. We take age verification seriously and require all players to confirm they meet this legal requirement before accessing Star Casino services. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or gamble.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
• Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
• Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious or irritable when you're not gambling
• Needing to gamble with larger amounts to experience the same excitement
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling
• Experiencing mood changes or depression related to gambling losses

Self-Help Tools Available

Star Casino offers several tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Establish a limit on the amount you're willing to lose during a session
• Reality Checks: Receive notifications at regular intervals reminding you how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing Star Casino for a period you specify
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to manage your gambling responsibly.
