Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Riemer and Son, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all our visitors to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes a concern.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities in Australia. Star Casino and all associated gambling services are strictly for adults. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not participate.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing anxiety, depression, or irritability when not gambling
- Continuously increasing the amount wagered to achieve the same excitement
- Failed attempts to control or stop gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions
- Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos and gambling platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. Consider using:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're prepared to lose
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms if you need a break
- Time Limits: Set session time limits to ensure gambling doesn't consume excessive time
