Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At NewFormAU, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online gambling, including Star casino games, should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment—not as a way to make money or solve financial problems.

Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose. If you find yourself struggling to control your gambling, help is available.

Age Verification

Gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 years and over in Australia (or the legal gambling age in your applicable jurisdiction).

By accessing and using Star casino services through NewFormAU, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your location and that you are not prohibited from doing so by law.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essentials like rent, bills, or food
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or study due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Experiencing relationship breakdowns or job loss due to gambling

Self-Help Tools & Control Features

Most reputable online casinos, including Star casino, offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Session Time Limits: Set reminders to take breaks and limit your playing time
• Reality Checks: Enable pop-up notifications during play to remind you of time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account or the platform

Take advantage of these features to keep your gambling safe and enjoyable.
