Safer Gambling

We take player safety seriously and promote responsible play across all site areas. Our commitment is to provide tools and clear options so you can control how you use Vegastars. This page explains the protections we offer, the limits you can set, how to recognise when play may be becoming harmful, and where to find support. Use these settings and guidance to keep gambling an occasional form of entertainment and to prevent financial or personal harm.

Vegastars Responsible Gambling

Vegastars Responsible Gambling means practical controls and straightforward information in your account. Options are available to set limits, pause activity, or close an account if needed. Policies are designed to help manage time and spending without unnecessary complexity.

Player protection principles

Protection focuses on voluntary limits, clear account actions, privacy of personal data, and simple routes to stop play. Access to tools is available from the account settings area. Decisions to self‑limit or self‑exclude are respected and applied to the account.

Tools to manage your gambling activity

Deposit limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps directly in account settings. Limits apply to future deposits once confirmed and are intended to keep spending within a budget you control.

Loss and wager limits

Limit how much you can lose or wager over a chosen period. These caps reduce exposure and help prevent chasing losses. Changes to limits take effect according to the terms shown when you set them.

Time limits and session reminders

Enable session reminders to receive on‑screen alerts after a set play time. Session time limits can be applied to prompt breaks and reduce long sessions.

Self‑exclusion and cool‑off

Choose a cool‑off period or a longer self‑exclusion if you need to take a break. Self‑exclusion blocks account access and suspends promotional contact for the selected period.

Recognising signs of problematic behaviour

Repeatedly increasing stakes, hiding activity from family, borrowing to fund play, and neglecting work or responsibilities are warning signs. Loss of control, anxiety about play, or failed attempts to cut back are indicators to act.

Guidance for staying in control

Set a strict budget and stick to it. Use the built‑in limits before you deposit. Take regular breaks and avoid chasing losses. Keep gambling funds separate from household bills. Discuss limits with trusted friends or family if you need accountability.

Access to professional help and support organisations

If gambling causes distress, seek professional help. National helplines and local counselling services offer confidential advice. Visit recognised support sites such as Gambling Helpline for New Zealand or contact local health providers for referrals to specialist services.
