Responsible Play Principles
StarSpins is intended for adults who choose to gamble as a form of entertainment. We encourage players to make informed decisions, set personal limits on time and spending, and take breaks. Only play with money you can afford to lose, and avoid gambling when it no longer feels manageable.
Star Spins takes player protection seriously. If gambling is affecting your wellbeing or finances, pause your play and consider seeking support from a trusted person or a specialist support service.
Managing Your Gambling Activity
StarSpins limits, if available in your account, can help you set boundaries before you play. Choose amounts and playing times that fit your budget and routine, then review them regularly. We recommend taking a break if gambling stops feeling enjoyable.
- Deposit limits: Set a cap on how much you add to your account.
- Loss limits: Set a maximum amount you are comfortable losing.
- Time limits: Set a session duration to help manage how long you play.
Pausing or Closing Your Account
Taking an account break gives you space to step away from gambling and consider what feels right for you. Self-exclusion is a stronger restriction for when you want to stop gambling for a while. If gambling no longer feels controlled, choose the option that best supports your decision to pause.
We encourage you to act early rather than wait for things to become harder to manage. Consider setting a suitable restriction on your account and taking time away from play.
Understanding Risky Gambling Behaviour
Gambling should remain within the time and spending limits you set. We encourage you to pause and review your play if it starts to feel difficult to manage. These signs may indicate it is time to take a break or seek support:
- Trying to win back money you have lost
- Spending more time or money than you planned
- Hiding your gambling or its impact from people close to you
- Letting gambling interfere with work, relationships or daily responsibilities
Practical Safer Gambling Tips
Keep gambling as an occasional form of entertainment and decide your limits before you start. These practical steps can help you stay aware of your play, but they cannot remove the risks.
- Set a budget: Choose an amount you can afford to lose and stop when you reach it.
- Limit your time: Take regular breaks and decide when to finish before you play.
- Keep perspective: Gambling is not a way to earn income or recover losses.
- Check in with yourself: Avoid gambling when stressed, upset, tired or under the influence.
- Pause when needed: Step away if gambling stops feeling enjoyable.
Where to Get Help
If gambling is causing concern for you or someone close to you, consider pausing play and seeking confidential support from a qualified professional or independent gambling support service. Speaking with someone early can help you explore practical next steps without judgment.
You can also talk to someone you trust and use local support resources where available. If you feel unable to stay in control, avoid making further deposits or placing bets while you seek help. Your wellbeing comes first.
