Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Australian Football Manager, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Star Casino and all gaming activities carry inherent risks, and outcomes are determined by chance. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities. By accessing Star Casino or any gaming platform through this site, you confirm that you are of legal age and comply with all applicable Australian gambling laws and regulations.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone else, it may indicate problem gambling:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
• Gambling with money needed for essentials like rent, bills, or food
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social relationships due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
• Experiencing withdrawal symptoms or mood changes
• Borrowing money to gamble or gambling to pay off debts
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or control gambling
• Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features

Star Casino and responsible gaming platforms offer several 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: Restrict the maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic breaks or session end times
• Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling by voluntarily excluding yourself from Star Casino or multiple venues

Make use of these features proactively to stay within your limits and maintain responsible gaming habits.
