Responsible Gambling – 888STARZ Worldwide
At 888STARZ, we promote responsible gambling and are committed to protecting our players from the risks associated with gambling addiction. Gambling should be a form of entertainment — not a way to make money. We strive to maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for all users.
Gambling Addiction: A Serious Issue
Problem gambling can affect mental health and lead to serious consequences such as:
- Anxiety and depression
- Family and relationship issues
- Loss of income or employment
- Academic decline
- Financial problems and debt
- Risk of criminal behavior or suicide
888STARZ is fully aware of these risks and takes them seriously.
Underage Gambling Prevention
We strictly prohibit gambling by individuals under the legal age, which is typically 18 years old, depending on the jurisdiction. We do not advertise to minors or vulnerable individuals.
Measures we take include:
- Age verification at registration and during withdrawals
- Blocking access if age cannot be verified
- Immediate restriction of accounts with missing or invalid information
Parental control tips:
- Do not share your login credentials or banking details
- Use filtering software such as NetNanny or Cyber Patrol to block gambling sites
Our Advertising and Promotional Ethics
888STARZ maintains full transparency in all marketing efforts. We ensure that:
- Promotional materials are not misleading
- The risks and chances of winning are clearly communicated
- We do not promote excessive gambling or unrealistic expectations
All advertising respects age restrictions and local legal requirements.
Self-Assessment: Do You Have a Gambling Problem?
Ask yourself the following questions honestly:
- Do you struggle to control your gambling budget?
- Have you borrowed money or stolen to continue gambling?
- Are you neglecting family, work, or hobbies?
- Do you lie about your gambling habits?
- Do you feel depressed after losing?
- Are you gambling under the influence of alcohol or drugs?
If you answer “yes” to several questions, you may be at risk of gambling addiction. Help is available.
Safe Gambling Guidelines
888STARZ encourages all players to follow these principles:
- Do not view gambling as a source of income
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
- Set time and spending limits
- Avoid chasing losses
- Never gamble when feeling emotional or intoxicated
