Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Frontec Engineering, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to play at Star Casino or any gaming venue, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities. Star Casino strictly enforces age verification. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to access or use gaming services. Gaming venues have a legal obligation to refuse service to minors.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses—spending more money trying to recover what you've lost
- Hiding or lying about your gambling activity or spending
- Gambling with money meant for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Neglecting family, work, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or guilty about your gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to feel the same excitement
- Unable to cut back or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or depression related to gambling losses
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools and Safer Gaming Features
Most gaming venues and online platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend per session or week
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping
- Time Limits: Set reminders to track how long you've been playing
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications about your gaming activity and time spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming venues or platforms

Use these tools proactively to stay in control of your gaming experience.
