Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Shifting Music, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online gaming should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits on your spending before you begin playing.
Age Verification
Online gaming in Australia is only available to individuals aged 18 years or older. By accessing Star Casino online through our website, you confirm that you are of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Neglecting family, work, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
