Responsible Gaming

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money. At Vegasstars, we encourage you to play within your means and treat any losses as the cost of your leisure time. Never chase wins or rely on gambling as a source of income.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in Australia. Some states or territories may set a higher legal age. Before you access any gaming service, you will be asked to confirm your date of birth and provide valid identification. We reserve the right to suspend any account until age and identity are fully verified. Underage gambling is illegal and we take this obligation seriously.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone close to you, it may be time to pause and seek support:

• Chasing losses by betting more to win back money you have lost.
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or colleagues.
• Spending more time or money on gambling than you intended.
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
• Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to cut down or stop.
• Neglecting work, study, family, or personal responsibilities because of gambling.
• Lying about how much you gamble or how much you have lost.
• Using gambling as a way to escape from stress, anxiety, or depression.

Self-Help Tools

Vegasstars provides several practical tools to help you stay in control of your gambling:

• Deposit limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month.
• Loss limits: Cap the total amount you are willing to lose over a chosen period.
• Reality checks: Receive on-screen reminders of how long you have been playing.
• Self-exclusion: Block access to your account for a set period, from 24 hours to permanent closure.
• Time-out periods: Take a short break from gambling without permanently closing your account.
