Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Brunswick United, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gaming and casino entertainment should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to play, please do so within your means and set limits that work for your budget.
Age Verification
By accessing this website and Star Casino services, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age for gambling in your Australian jurisdiction). Gambling is not permitted for anyone under the legal age. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

If you recognise any of the following warning signs in your own behaviour or that of someone you know, please seek help immediately:

- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills, medication)
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or educational responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling

- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount you can deposit
- Loss Limits: Restrict the total amount you're willing to lose in a set period
