Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Vegas Stars Casino, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please play responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

Vegas Stars Casino is exclusively for adults aged 18 years and over (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction). We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, you must not use this site or open an account.

New Zealand residents must be 18 years of age or older to gamble legally.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling with more money to try to recover what you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activity or the amount of money you're spending
• Gambling with money meant for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
• Gambling for longer periods than you intended
• Neglecting family, work, or social commitments due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Lying to friends or family about your gambling habits
• Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement

Self-Help Tools & Protections

Vegas Stars Casino provides several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before you must stop playing
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Session Limits: Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account, preventing access to Vegas Stars Casino
• Account Cooling-Off Period: Request a temporary pause on your account (typically 24 hours to several weeks)

We encourage you to use these tools proactively, even if you don't currently feel you have a problem.
