Responsible Gaming
At junortoun.org, gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial pressure. Vegasstars offers real-money games, but the outcome is always uncertain. Never wager more than you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal age set by your Australian state or territory) to create an account and gamble. Age checks are carried out when you register and may require documents such as a driver licence or passport. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
It may be time to seek help if you recognise any of these behaviours:
- Chasing losses by placing bigger bets to win back money
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Spending more time or money on gambling than you planned
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using household funds to gamble
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or irritable when not gambling
- Neglecting work, study, relationships, or other responsibilities because of gambling
- Trying to stop or cut back without success
- Using gambling to escape stress, low mood, or other problems
Self-Help Tools
Use the account settings on Vegasstars to set practical limits and stay in control:
- Deposit limits – cap how much you can add to your account each day, week, or month.
- Loss limits – set a maximum net loss over a chosen period.
- Reality checks – receive on-screen reminders about how long you have been playing.
- Self-exclusion – block your account for a set cooling-off period or permanently.
Read the full terms and responsible gambling policy for each tool before you make changes.
