Responsible Gambling

1. Purpose of this page

This page provides responsible gambling information for visitors using treasury-casino-brisbane.com to plan a visit to Treasury Casino Brisbane / The Star Brisbane. It does not replace professional support, casino self-exclusion procedures, statutory requirements or the responsible gambling controls provided by the licensed operator.

If gambling is no longer enjoyable, feels difficult to control or is affecting money, relationships, work, study, sleep or mental wellbeing, stopping and seeking support is more important than continuing to play.

2. Understand the risk before you play

Gaming machines, table games, electronic table games, poker and progressive jackpots all involve financial risk. A jackpot is not guaranteed, a previous loss does not make a future win more likely, and short-term results do not remove the mathematical advantage built into casino games.

Poker differs because players compete against one another and the house may take rake, but it still involves risk, variance and the possibility of significant losses.

3. Practical safer gambling principles

4. Set financial and time limits

Before playing, decide your maximum spend, maximum session length and how often you are prepared to gamble. Consider using account or membership tools made available by the operator where appropriate, and keep track of actual expenditure rather than focusing only on individual wins.

If you reach a limit, stop. A limit that can be repeatedly increased during a losing session is not functioning as a meaningful limit.

5. Warning signs that gambling may be becoming harmful

• Chasing losses or increasing stakes to try to recover money.
• Gambling for longer or spending more than planned.
• Borrowing money, using essential funds or hiding gambling expenditure.
• Feeling restless, angry, anxious or distressed when trying to stop.
• Lying to family or friends about time or money spent gambling.
• Missing work, study, sleep, appointments or responsibilities because of gambling.
• Using gambling to escape stress, loneliness, depression or financial problems.
• Repeatedly returning immediately after a significant loss.

6. Take breaks and know when to stop

Leave the gaming floor regularly, eat, drink water and reassess whether you still want to continue. Tiredness and long sessions can reduce attention and make it harder to stick to a budget.

If you feel angry, desperate to win money back, unusually impulsive or unable to walk away, stop gambling for the day rather than changing games or increasing bets.

7. Self-exclusion and stronger controls

If ordinary budgeting is not enough, self-exclusion or other formal restrictions may be appropriate. The licensed casino operator can provide information about the exclusion and responsible gambling processes available at the venue.

Self-exclusion should be treated as a serious protective step. If you use it, combine it with practical changes such as avoiding gambling venues, removing gambling triggers, changing access to discretionary funds and telling a trusted person where appropriate.

8. Money, borrowing and credit

Never borrow money specifically to continue a gambling session. Avoid using rent, food, bill or emergency funds, and do not interpret access to cash or credit as evidence that further gambling is affordable.

Keep gambling expenditure visible. Reviewing bank statements, cash withdrawals and actual net losses can provide a clearer picture than remembering isolated wins.

9. Alcohol and decision-making

The Star Brisbane includes bars and nightlife venues, but alcohol can impair judgement and make it harder to follow financial or time limits. If you are gambling, consider limiting or avoiding alcohol and do not continue playing when your judgement is affected.

10. Seeking support

You do not need to wait for gambling harm to become severe before asking for help. Support may include counselling, financial counselling, self-exclusion, blocking or limit tools, conversations with trusted people and professional mental-health support.

Because this page contains no third-party outbound links, use the responsible gambling information available at the casino, your local health or counselling services, or emergency services where appropriate.

11. If you are worried about a friend or family member

Focus on specific behaviour rather than blame. You can raise concerns about unexplained financial problems, repeated borrowing, secrecy, long gambling sessions or changes in mood. Avoid lending money for gambling or helping to conceal gambling-related debts.

Support for affected family members can be useful even if the person gambling is not yet ready to seek help.

12. Under 18s

Casino gambling is restricted to adults aged 18 years or over. Adults should not encourage minors to gamble, provide access to gambling accounts or normalise gambling as an expected way to make money.

13. Promotions, jackpots and membership rewards

Promotions, Casino Dollars, loyalty tiers, complimentary parking, jackpots and member offers should never determine whether you can afford to gamble. A benefit is not a saving if obtaining it causes you to spend more than planned.

Do not chase Tier Points, promotional thresholds or jackpot values after reaching your personal limit.

14. Immediate safety

If gambling-related distress creates an immediate risk of self-harm, violence, homelessness or another emergency, stop gambling and seek urgent local assistance. Do not remain on the gaming floor while in crisis.
