Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Distorted Noize, we believe that online gaming at Star Casino should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or generate income. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose and always play within your means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state/territory) to access and use Star Casino online. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and take age verification seriously. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of these warning signs in your own behaviour?
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or difficult emotions
- Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with borrowed funds
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Lying to others about the extent of your gambling
- Experiencing relationship or financial difficulties due to gambling
- Failed attempts to cut down or control gambling behaviour
If you recognise any of these signs, please seek help immediately. Problem gambling is treatable, and support is available.
