Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Vegas Stars Casino, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we strive to provide an enjoyable gaming experience, it's important to understand the risks involved and to gamble responsibly.
Set a budget you can afford to lose, play for fun, and always remember that the house has an edge. If you find yourself struggling to control your gaming habits, help is available.
Age Verification
In New Zealand, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gaming at Vegas Stars Casino. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all players during registration.
If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to create an account. If you are a parent or guardian concerned about a young person's gaming activity, contact the support organizations listed below.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you notice any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Difficulty controlling the amount of time or money spent gaming
- Using gaming to escape problems or cope with negative emotions
- Neglecting work, family, friends, or hobbies due to gaming
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gaming
- Unable to stop or reduce gaming despite wanting to
- Experiencing relationship conflicts or financial difficulties due to gambling
If you recognize any of these signs, we encourage you to use our self-help tools or reach out to a support organization immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Player Protection
Vegas Stars Casino provides several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount of money you can deposit into your account.
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a specific time period.
- Session Time Limits: Receive alerts or automatic logouts after a set amount of gaming time.
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders during play to help you stay aware of time and money spent.
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account, preventing you from accessing Vegas Stars Casino.
You can access these tools through your account settings at any time. We recommend using them as part of a responsible gaming strategy.
