Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At isourcedirectory.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. It's important to understand that gambling should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it should only be enjoyed with money you can afford to lose.

Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

Online gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 years and over in Australia. By accessing Star casino online through isourcedirectory.com, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, whichever is applicable.

If you are under the legal age for gambling, you must not proceed.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Lying to family, friends, or healthcare professionals about the extent of your gambling
• Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social responsibilities
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
• Repeatedly unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Experiencing relationship or financial difficulties due to gambling

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools and Controls

Most reputable online casinos provide tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Establish a limit on the maximum amount you're willing to lose
• Reality Checks: Enable notifications during gaming sessions to remind you how long you've been playing
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing the platform for a set period
• Session Timeouts: Automatically log out after a specified period of inactivity

We encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
