Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Squiggle Fish App, we believe gambling should only ever be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Enjoy Star Casino responsibly and within your means. Remember: the house always has an edge, and you should only gamble what you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction in Australia) to access and use Squiggle Fish App and Star Casino services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not gamble.
