⚠️ Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop.
21+

Strictly 21 and Above Only

In accordance with Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, the nustar platform is exclusively available to players who are 21 years of age or older. Age verification is mandatory for all nustar accounts. No exceptions.

Gaming Should Always Be Entertainment

For most players, online casino gaming at nustar is exactly what it's meant to be — a fun, thrilling way to spend leisure time. Whether you're spinning the slots, joining a bingo session, or sitting at a live dealer table, the experience is designed to entertain.

But nustar also knows that for some players, gambling can become more than just entertainment. Problem gambling is a real concern in the Philippines and across the world, and nustar takes its responsibility seriously. That's why nustar has built a comprehensive responsible gaming framework — not just because PAGCOR requires it, but because every player deserves to be protected.

Responsible gaming at nustar means playing with a clear budget, a time limit, and the understanding that gambling outcomes are based on chance. It means knowing that losing is always a possibility — and that chasing losses is one of the most common signs that gambling has stopped being fun.

nustar's core responsible gaming principle: Gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to earn income. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and always set limits before you start playing.

Signs That Gambling May Be a Problem

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to take a step back and use nustar's responsible gaming tools — or seek professional support.

  • Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can afford
  • Chasing losses — continuing to gamble to try to win back money you've lost
  • Gambling with money meant for rent, bills, food, or other essential expenses
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not gambling
  • Lying to family or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling
  • Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities because of gambling
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
  • Feeling that you need to gamble with larger and larger amounts to feel the same excitement
  • Repeatedly trying to cut back on gambling but finding it difficult to stop
  • Using gambling as a way to escape stress, depression, or personal problems

If you answered yes to two or more of the above, nustar strongly encourages you to use the self-exclusion or limit-setting tools available in your nustar account, or to reach out to a qualified support organisation.

nustar's Responsible Gaming Tools

Every nustar account comes with a full suite of responsible gaming tools — free, immediate, and accessible directly from your account dashboard. You don't need to contact support to use them; they're built right into the nustar platform.

💰
Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit on your nustar account. Once your limit is reached, nustar will not allow further deposits until the limit period resets. You can lower your limit immediately; increases take 24 hours to take effect — a deliberate cooling-off period built in for your protection.

📉
Loss Limits

Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given period. When your loss limit is reached, nustar will automatically suspend your gaming session for that period. This tool is one of the most effective ways to prevent chasing losses — a key risk factor for problem gambling.

⏱️
Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration for your nustar gaming sessions. When your time limit is reached, nustar will display a reminder and, if you choose, automatically log you out. Time limits help you stay aware of how long you've been playing — something that's easy to lose track of in the excitement of the game.

🔔
Reality Check Reminders

Enable periodic pop-up reminders during your nustar gaming sessions that show you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered. These reality checks are a gentle but effective nudge to pause, reflect, and decide whether to continue or take a break.

❄️
Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from nustar without permanently closing your account. Cooling-off periods can be set for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in to your nustar account or make any deposits. The period cannot be shortened once activated.

🚫
Self-Exclusion

If you feel that you need a longer break from gambling, nustar's self-exclusion tool allows you to exclude yourself from the nustar platform for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. During self-exclusion, your nustar account is suspended and you will not receive any marketing communications from nustar.

Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop.

All nustar responsible gaming tools are available 24/7 from your account dashboard at no cost. To activate any tool, log in to your nustar account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings.

Check In With Yourself

nustar encourages all players to regularly ask themselves these questions. Honest self-reflection is the first step toward responsible gaming. If you find yourself answering "yes" to several of these, please consider using nustar's responsible gaming tools or seeking support.

1
Do I sometimes spend more time or money gambling at nustar than I originally planned?
2
Have I ever felt the urge to keep playing at nustar to win back money I've already lost?
3
Has gambling ever caused me to neglect my work, studies, family, or other responsibilities?
4
Have I ever borrowed money or used savings meant for other purposes to fund my gambling?
5
Do I feel anxious, irritable, or restless when I am not able to gamble?
6
Have I ever hidden or lied about my gambling habits to family members or close friends?
7
Do I sometimes gamble to escape stress, loneliness, depression, or other personal problems?

If you answered yes to two or more questions, nustar strongly recommends activating a deposit limit, cooling-off period, or self-exclusion from your account dashboard. You can also reach out to nustar support for guidance.
