Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Way to Make Money
At Jax and the Wayward, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has an edge, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online gaming is strictly for individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Australia, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction. By accessing this site, you confirm that you meet these requirements and accept full responsibility for your gaming activity.
If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed. We take underage gambling very seriously.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or getting into debt to finance gambling
- Feeling anxious, depressed, or using gambling to escape problems
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Taking financial risks or jeopardising relationships because of gambling
Self-Help Tools & Features
Most online casinos, including those associated with Star Casino, offer practical tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a cap on the amount you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders during gaming sessions to help you stay aware of time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from playing at a casino for a period of your choosing
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent excessive play
We strongly encourage you to utilise these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
