Responsible Gambling
Last updated: 2026-05-19
Gambling should be a form of entertainment — never a source of income or a strategy for solving financial problems. At Vegas Stars Casino Australia we take responsible gambling seriously. This page outlines the warning signs of problem gambling, the tools available to help you stay in control, and where to seek help if gambling has stopped being fun.
Strictly 18+
All gambling content referenced on this Site is for adults aged 18 years or older. It is illegal in Australia to permit minors to gamble. Anyone under 18 must not access, register at, or otherwise use online gambling services.
Recognising the warning signs
You may be developing a problem with gambling if any of the following apply to you:
- You spend more time or money gambling than you intended.
- You chase losses — gambling more to try to win back what you have lost.
- You hide or lie about how much you gamble to family, friends or partners.
- You borrow money, sell possessions or skip bills to fund gambling.
- Gambling affects your work, studies, sleep, mood or relationships.
- You feel restless, anxious or irritable when you try to cut down.
- You gamble to escape from problems or to relieve depression, anxiety or stress.
- You have tried to stop in the past and been unable to.
If two or more of these apply, please consider reaching out to one of the support services listed below.
Self-protection tools at Vegas Stars casino
Vegas Stars casino provides a full set of responsible-gambling tools inside the account dashboard under "Responsible Gaming". Tools include:
- Deposit limits — daily, weekly and monthly caps on how much you can deposit.
- Loss limits — caps on net losses over a defined period.
- Wagering limits — caps on total amount wagered, independent of deposits.
- Session-time limits and reality checks — pop-up reminders showing time spent and net result.
- Cooling-off period — temporary block on your account for 24 hours up to 30 days.
- Self-exclusion — longer-term account closure of six months, one year or permanent.
All limits and self-exclusion settings take effect immediately and cannot be loosened until the chosen period elapses.
Tips for staying in control
- Decide on a budget for gambling before you start, and stop when you reach it.
- Set a time limit for each session and stick to it.
- Never chase losses by increasing stakes.
- Never gamble with money meant for essentials — rent, bills, food, debt repayment.
- Don't gamble under the influence of alcohol, drugs or strong emotion.
- Take regular breaks and balance gambling with other activities.
- Treat any winnings as a bonus, not as expected income.
