Responsible Gaming

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play for fun and never with money you cannot afford to lose. Set clear limits before you start and stick to them.

Age Verification

You must be at least 21 years old to enter and play at Nustar casino in the Philippines. Local casino gaming laws set the minimum age at 21. We expect all visitors to confirm their age using valid government-issued identification. If you are under 21, leave the gaming floor and do not attempt to play.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Watch for these signals:

• Chasing losses by betting more to win back money you lost.
• Hiding your gambling activity or lying about time and money spent.
• Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using funds meant for bills to gamble.
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop.
• Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities because of gambling.
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression.
• Repeated unsuccessful attempts to control, reduce, or stop gambling.

Self-Help Tools

Many gambling platforms and casino venues provide tools to help you stay in control. These may include:

• Deposit limits: set a maximum amount you can add to your gambling account per day, week, or month.
• Loss limits: cap how much you can lose over a set period.
• Reality checks: receive on-screen reminders of how long you have been playing.
• Self-exclusion: block yourself from gambling access for a chosen period.

Use these tools as early as you can. Read the platform's responsible gaming page and account settings to activate them.
