Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Ash Lea Rendell, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online gambling, including at Star Casino, should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and never spend more than you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is restricted to persons aged 18 years and over. By accessing Star Casino through our site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and meet all legal requirements in your jurisdiction. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, it may be time to seek support:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when attempting to reduce gambling
- Neglecting work, study, relationships, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or emotional distress related to gambling outcomes
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
