Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At BitStarz, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any other form of entertainment, it should only cost you what you can afford to lose.
If you find yourself gambling more than intended or experiencing negative consequences, please seek help immediately. Support is available, and recovery is possible.
Age Verification
BitStarz is strictly for players aged 18 years and over, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. In Australia, the legal age for online gambling is 18 years.
By accessing BitStarz, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirements in your location and that you are not prohibited from gambling under any applicable law.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the extent of gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with money needed for essentials
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Using gambling as a way to earn money or solve financial problems
- Relationships suffering because of gambling activities
If any of these apply to you, please reach out for support. Help is available.
