Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Vegas Stars Casino, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. It is a pastime that involves risk, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
In New Zealand, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in online gambling activities at Vegas Stars Casino. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all players.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to create an account or gamble on our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money intended for essentials (rent, food, bills)
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Increasing amounts of time or money spent gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Experiencing relationship or work problems due to gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
