Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At contemplatingcakes.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. BitStarz and all forms of gambling should be viewed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
Remember: the house always has a mathematical edge. Enjoy the experience responsibly.
Age Verification
BitStarz is only available to players who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher). Australian players must be 18 years or older to participate.
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time.

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the time or money spent gambling
