Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At A Million Steps for a Cure, we believe gambling should only be viewed as entertainment, similar to going to the movies or attending a sporting event. It should never be considered a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
By accessing Star Casino through our website, you confirm that you are:
- At least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction)
- A resident of Australia or eligible to gamble in your state or territory
- Not excluded from gambling by law or self-exclusion program
Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not proceed.

- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about time and money spent gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Increasing amounts of money or time spent gambling to achieve the same excitement
- Neglecting family, work, education, or other responsibilities
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Loss of interest in hobbies and activities once enjoyed
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
