Core Principles of Responsible Gaming

Six principles StarGames follows to ensure safe gaming for all players.

Play for Fun
Playing on StarGames should be about fun and entertainment. Chasing losses in the hope of winning back money is a dangerous mindset — don't fall into that trap.
Set Your Budget
Only play with money you can afford to lose without it affecting your finances. Set aside a fixed portion of your monthly entertainment budget for gaming and don't go beyond it.
Stick to Your Limits
Playing for hours on end isn't healthy. Keep session reminders on in the StarGames app so you get a notification after a set amount of time.
Keep Wins and Losses in Perspective
Expecting a steady long-term income from gaming is not realistic. Enjoy the thrill of a win, but take losses in your stride.
Take Regular Breaks
Taking a break isn't a sign of weakness — it's a smart move. StarGames' Cooling Off tool lets you step away for a few days while keeping your account safe.
Let Your Family & Loved Ones Know
If gaming is starting to affect your daily life or relationships, talk to someone you trust. Carrying it alone isn't always the right call.

Responsible Gaming Protection Tools

StarGames gives every player full control over their gaming experience. These tools are completely free, can be activated at any time, and require no explanation.

💰
Deposit Limit
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap. Once you hit the limit, no further deposits are allowed and your session ends. Limits can only be increased after 24 hours, but reductions take effect immediately.
Account → Settings → Deposit Limit
⏱️
Session Limit
Set a limit on how long you play in a single session. You will be logged out automatically when the time is up. A mandatory break is enforced before your next session, so you can make decisions with a clear head.
Account → Settings → Session Time
⏸️
Cooling Off Period
You can take a break lasting anywhere from 24 hours to 30 days. Your account remains active during this period, but playing and making deposits will not be possible. Access is restored automatically once the break ends.
Contact Support — Takes Effect Immediately
🚫
Self-Exclusion
You can exclude yourself from the platform for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years. Once self-exclusion is active, it cannot be reversed by anyone — including you. Access is only restored automatically once the set period has expired. This is the strongest protection available.
Send a request to support — this is treated as urgent
📊
Reality Check Reminder
A reminder appears every 30 or 60 minutes showing how long you've played, how much you've won, and how much you've lost. Having that information in front of you makes it easier to make grounded decisions.
Account → Notifications → Reminders
📋
Activity History
You can view your full gaming history at any time — how much you played each day, total deposits, and a complete record of wins and losses. It's a useful way to understand your own patterns.
Account → Transaction History
Recognize the warning signs

Problem gambling doesn't appear overnight — it develops gradually. There are warning signs to watch for. Recognising them isn't a sign of weakness; in fact, spotting them early is the smart thing to do.

Warning Signs
  • Spending beyond your limitYou are consistently going over the budget you set for each session — and it keeps happening.
  • Chasing LossesAfter a loss, you find yourself betting more because you're convinced you'll win it back.
  • Skipping Sleep or Work to PlayDeveloping a habit of playing late at night or sneaking in sessions during work hours.
  • Hiding Things from Family or FriendsYou are hiding from loved ones how much you are playing or how much you are spending.
  • Feeling uncomfortable or irritable when not playingFeeling mentally restless or irritable when unable to play.
Signs of Healthy Gaming
  • Sticking to your budgetMonthly gaming spend stays within the set limit.
  • Taking losses in strideA win feels great, a loss is discouraging — but there's no pressure after losing.
  • Focused on Other ThingsGaming is a small part of life — family, work, and friendships are all in good shape.
  • Talk OpenlyNo hesitation talking to family about gaming.
  • Take a Break Whenever You NeedNo pressure if you don't feel like playing — play when you want to, and don't when you don't.

Cooling Off & Self-Exclusion

Myth vs. Reality

There are some common misconceptions about gaming that can push people toward risky behaviour. Knowing the facts makes it easier to make informed decisions.

❌ Common misconception
"After a long losing streak, a win must be coming soon — that's just how it works"
✅ The reality
Every round is completely independent. Previous wins or losses have no effect on future outcomes. This is known as the "gambler's fallacy".
❌ Common misconception
"With the right strategy and experience, you can earn a steady income from gaming"
✅ The reality
Over the long run, the house always holds a slight mathematical edge. Gaming is a form of entertainment, not a reliable source of income.
❌ Common misconception
"I can control myself — asking for help is for people who can't."
✅ The reality
Asking for help is the bravest thing you can do. Problem gaming is linked to brain chemistry — willpower alone is not the answer.
❌ Common misconception
"If I play a bit more or place a bigger bet, I'll win back what I lost."
✅ The reality
Big bets can bring big wins, but they carry just as much risk of big losses. Getting caught in that cycle is dangerous.
StarGames's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

StarGames believes a gaming platform can only succeed in the long run when its players are healthy and happy. That's why responsible gaming isn't a marketing tactic for us — it's the foundation of how we do business.

Online gaming is relatively new in Bangladesh. Many people are playing online for the first time — they enjoy the benefits but may not fully understand the risks. StarGames wants to bridge that information gap.

You will never be encouraged to chase losses
StarGames' system and support team will never pressure or encourage a player to bet more after a loss.
Self-exclusion requests are handled with the highest priority
A self-exclusion request is processed before any other request — typically within 30 minutes.
Players showing suspicious behaviour will be proactively contacted
If any concerning changes are detected in a player's gaming pattern, an automated system flags it and the support team reaches out to offer help.
Mental Health Support Referrals in Bangla
Professional support information in Bangla is available when needed. If someone appears to be struggling, the support team will help connect them with the right resources.
Responsible gaming tools will always remain visible
These tools aren't buried in hidden menus. They're front and centre in your account settings for easy access.
Minor Protection

StarGames is strictly for players aged 18 and above. Keeping minors away from gaming is a firm policy — and we follow several measures to enforce it.

  • Date of birth is verified at the time of registration.
  • Age must be verified with NID before any withdrawal.
  • Age verification may be requested on any account that raises suspicion, at any time.
  • Any account found to belong to a minor is closed immediately and all funds are refunded.

Advice for parents and guardians: use parental control software on home computers and mobile devices. Never share your StarGames account login details with your children.

If you know of any child or teenager using StarGames, contact us immediately at support@stargames.my. This is our highest priority.

Our Philosophy

Why Responsible Gaming Is Our Priority

StarGames has always believed that no platform can survive without a healthy gaming community. When players enjoy themselves, trust the platform, and feel safe — that's what builds a lasting relationship.

Online gaming is still relatively new in Bangladesh, and many people are experiencing it for the first time — sometimes without their family's knowledge. StarGames sees it as our responsibility to give those players the right information and tools.

It's natural to feel down after a loss. But if that feeling lingers for days, disrupts your sleep, or affects your relationships — it's time to pause. Reaching out for help takes courage, not weakness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about app issues and football betting.

If the app won't open or you receive an update notification, the fix is straightforward. First, identify what's causing the issue. Update notification: tap the "Update" button directly — the latest version will download and the app will restart automatically. App crash: start by restarting your phone. If that doesn't work, uninstall the app and download the latest version from the StarGames website. On Android, you may need to enable "Install from unknown sources". Internet issues: instead of live chat, open the mobile version of the website (stargames.my) in your browser — all features are available there too. If the same problem keeps coming back, contact support with your phone model and Android/iOS version and the team will resolve it promptly.

Just like cricket, you can bet on football, tennis, badminton, and kabaddi at StarGames. Here's what you need to know to get started with football betting. Main markets: Match Result (Home / Draw / Away) is the simplest option — just pick one of three outcomes. "Both Teams to Score (BTTS)" and "Total Goals Over/Under 2.5" are moderately more complex. Live Betting: Odds shift as the match unfolds — it's exciting but requires quick decisions, so start with small bets. Parlay Bets: You bet on multiple matches at once — a big payout if you win them all, but lose just one and the whole bet is lost. For beginners, sticking to single-match bets is the better approach. Open the "Sports" section in the StarGames app and filter by "Football" to see all ongoing and upcoming matches.
