Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At ancatsnow.com, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds in all games of chance favour the house, and you should only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose.

Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state or territory) to access The Star Casino and related gambling services in Australia.

We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not proceed with any gambling activities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a problem with gambling:

• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount you gamble
• Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Risking relationships or employment due to gambling behaviour

If you experience any of these warning signs, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Player Protection

Most reputable online casinos and venues offer tools to help you gamble responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit over a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of losses you are willing to accept
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders during gaming sessions about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms
• Time-Out: Take a mandatory break from gambling for a set period

We encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gambling strategy.
