Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At A Shade Ahead, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses.

If you're accessing information about Star Casino or any other gaming venue through our site, please remember that the house always has an edge. Play for fun, set limits, and know when to stop.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to gamble legally. If you are under 18, please do not participate in any gambling activities. Gaming sites and venues have a legal obligation to verify age and refuse service to minors.

Parents and guardians: please monitor your children's online activity and use parental controls to restrict access to gambling websites.
