Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At BitStarz, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting the wellbeing of our players.
If you're playing at BitStarz or any online casino, please remember that the house always has an edge. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view gaming as a source of income.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years old to gamble online. BitStarz is committed to preventing underage gambling and verifying the age of all players during registration.
By using BitStarz, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please do not access our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to finance gambling activities
- Feeling anxious or stressed when not gambling
- Repeatedly attempting to reduce or stop gambling without success
- Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions
- Jeopardising relationships, education, or career opportunities because of gambling
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features
BitStarz provides several tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly). Once reached, you won't be able to deposit further funds until the period resets.
Loss Limits
Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a set time frame. Once this limit is reached, your account will be temporarily restricted from further play.
Reality Checks
Request regular pop-up reminders during your gaming session to keep you aware of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. Your account will be automatically logged out when the time expires.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need a break from gambling, you can self-exclude from BitStarz for a period ranging from 24 hours to an indefinite amount of time. During self-exclusion, you will be unable to access your account or place any bets.
For assistance in setting any of these tools, contact BitStarz customer support immediately.
