Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At ericaamerica.com.au, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. When you play at Star Casino or any gaming venue, please remember that the odds are always in favour of the house. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in Australia. If you are under the legal gambling age in your state or territory, you are not permitted to access or use gaming services. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirements in your jurisdiction before participating in any gambling activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If any of the following apply to you, you may be developing a gambling problem. Please seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Lying to family, friends, or others about the extent of your gambling
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, relieve stress, or manage difficult emotions
- Neglecting work, study, relationships, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Using gambling as a way to make money or solve financial problems
- Feeling a need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Losing control over your gambling and being unable to stop
Self-Help Tools and Limits
Most reputable gaming venues, including Star Casino, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit over a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount of money you're willing to lose in a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders during your gaming session about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Time-Out: Take a temporary break from gambling for a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from gaming venues for an extended period (typically 6 months to permanently)
If you're unsure how to activate these tools at Star Casino, contact their customer support team directly for assistance.
