Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At esar.com.au, we believe that gaming and casino activities should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits on both time and spending before you play.
Age Verification
All users must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state or territory) to access and use this website. By accessing esar.com.au, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement. The Star casino and all affiliated services are only available to eligible adults.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:

- Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
