Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Stark Katz, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are designed with a house edge, meaning the odds always favour the casino over time. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction to access and use our website. If you are under the legal age, you are prohibited from gambling or accessing gambling services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to verify your identity at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of these warning signs, please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover what you've lost
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
- Neglecting work, study, family, or social activities due to gambling
- Unsuccessfully attempting to cut back or stop gambling
- Lying about the extent or frequency of your gambling
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gambling Features
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you gamble responsibly. Consider using:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms
- Time-Out Periods: Take a break from gambling for a set period
- Cooling-Off Periods: A mandatory waiting period before reactivating your account
We encourage you to use these tools proactively, even if you don't currently have concerns about your gambling.
