Responsible Gambling
Last updated:
Gambling is meant to be an enjoyable leisure activity. This page is designed to help you make informed, safe decisions — and to connect you with professional support if gambling stops being fun.
1. Play Within Your Means
Only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose. Before you play, set a clear budget and treat it as the cost of entertainment — not a way to earn income. Never chase losses; the result of any previous bet has no impact on future outcomes.
2. Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
It can be difficult to recognise when gambling has become a problem. Common warning signs include:
- Spending more time or money gambling than you intended.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling.
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or difficult emotions.
- Lying to family or friends about gambling habits.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling.
- Returning to gambling to win back money you have lost.
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
3. Self-Help Tools
Most licensed online casinos, including Stellar Spins, offer a range of responsible gambling tools within your account settings. These typically include:
- Deposit Limits — Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit.
- Loss Limits — Cap the amount you are willing to lose in a given period.
- Session Time Limits — Restrict how long you can play in a single session.
- Reality Checks — On-screen reminders of how long you have been playing.
- Cooling-Off Period — Temporarily suspend your account for a defined period (e.g., 24 hours, 1 week, 1 month).
- Self-Exclusion — Permanently or long-term block yourself from accessing the casino. Contact Stellar Spins support to request self-exclusion.
4. Under 18? Do Not Gamble
Gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. This site and the casinos it reviews do not permit underage play. If you share a device with minors, we recommend enabling parental controls or web filtering software to restrict access to gambling content.
Parental control tools include Gamban, Net Nanny, and operating system-level family controls on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.
