Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At diplomatit.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. BitStarz and all online gambling should be viewed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling always carries risk, and the house maintains an edge in all games. Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
BitStarz is strictly for players aged 18 years or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction in Australia). We are committed to protecting minors and preventing underage gambling. By accessing BitStarz through diplomatit.com, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your location.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following warning signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Hiding gambling activity from friends, family, or partners
- Neglecting work, study, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut back on gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to stop or reduce gambling
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
Self-Help Tools
BitStarz provides several tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit
- Loss Limits: Establish limits on how much you're willing to lose over a specific period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders during gaming sessions about the time and money spent
