Responsible Gaming
Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money. If you choose to play at Vegasstars or any other platform, set a budget for fun and never treat it as a source of income. Losses are part of the experience and should never be chased.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years or older, or the legal gambling age in your Australian state or territory, to access any gambling services. Underage gambling is illegal. If you suspect someone underage is gambling, contact the relevant authority or support service immediately.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
You may be developing a problem if you:
- Chase losses by betting more to win back money
- Hide your gambling habits from family or friends
- Spend more time or money than you planned
- Feel irritable or restless when trying to cut back
- Borrow money or sell belongings to gamble
- Neglect work, study, or relationships because of gambling
- Lie about how much you bet or how often
Self-Help Tools
Many licensed operators, including Vegasstars, offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit limits – cap how much you can add to your account daily, weekly, or monthly
- Loss limits – set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a set period
- Reality checks – periodic alerts showing how long you have been playing
- Self-exclusion – block access to your account for a chosen period or permanently
- Time-out periods – take a short break from gambling
