Our Platform and Responsible Entertainment
OutbackStarLounge is a social entertainment platform with no real money involved. There is no financial risk in playing our games. Virtual coins cannot be purchased, sold, or exchanged. Losing coins has no financial consequence.
Despite this, we are mindful that entertainment can become all-consuming. Spending excessive time on any leisure activity — gaming, social media, television — can affect relationships, work, and wellbeing. We encourage all players to maintain a healthy balance.
Signs of Unhealthy Entertainment Habits
Consider whether any of the following apply to you:
- You find it difficult to stop playing even when you intend to
- You are neglecting responsibilities, relationships, or sleep because of gameplay
- You feel irritable or anxious when you cannot play
- You are hiding the amount of time you spend on gaming platforms
- You are using gaming as a way to escape from stress or difficult emotions
If any of these feel familiar, it may be worth taking a break and speaking with someone you trust — or reaching out to a professional support organisation.
Tips for Healthy Play
- Set a time limit before you start playing and stick to it
- Take regular breaks — at least 10 minutes every hour
- Never play as a substitute for dealing with stress, anxiety, or difficult situations
- Keep gaming social and enjoyable rather than compulsive
- Prioritise sleep, exercise, and real-world social connections
