Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Direct Dent Family, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Please remember that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Star Casino games are games of chance, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to gamble at Star Casino. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling laws and regulations. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you or someone you know experiences any of the following, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
- Chasing losses by continuing to gamble to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying to family and friends about the extent of gambling
- Experiencing relationship problems due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, anxiety, depression, or stress
- Neglecting work, school, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or mood changes when not gambling
- Failed attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable online casinos, including those featuring Star Casino games, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you can lose during a session or period
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders during gameplay about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently ban yourself from accessing gambling platforms
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic logouts after a predetermined period
- Account Restrictions: Reduce betting limits or disable certain features
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to manage your gaming responsibly.
