Becoming a Star Club Member to Enter
Playing on the floor at The Star isn't a simple walk-in affair — you'll need a Star Club membership card to game. The card can be set up at the venue itself or online beforehand, and a valid photo ID such as a passport or driver's licence is required, with entry strictly limited to those 18 and over. Membership also opens the door to the loyalty tiers and members-only areas like the Vantage lounge.
What You'll Need Before You Sign Up
Whichever route you take, a few essentials make the process painless.
- Proof you're 18 or older, as both venue entry and play are adults-only
- A valid photo ID — a passport or driver's licence
- An email address for online registration
- A payment method ready for a first online deposit
Setting Up an Online Account
Registering online to claim the welcome package is a short, linear process.
- Open the registration page on the online platform.
- Enter your email and create a strong password.
- Add your personal details — name, date of birth and address.
- Accept the terms and confirm you're 18+.
- Verify your email via the link sent to your inbox.
- Make your first deposit to activate the welcome package.
Venue Membership Versus an Online Account
The two sign-up routes unlock different things, as the comparison shows.
| Aspect | Star Club (Venue) | Online Account |
|---|
| What it unlocks | Entry to the gaming floor | Online play and the welcome bonus |
| ID requirement | Photo ID at the door | KYC before withdrawal |
| Where to complete | At the venue or online | Online only |
| Main benefit | Loyalty perks and amenities | The welcome package |
Verifying Your Age and Identity
Both routes involve a verification step, though they differ in timing. Entry to the venue requires a photo ID and proof you're 18 or older, checked at the door. Online platforms run a KYC check — typically an ID plus a proof-of-address document — before your first withdrawal rather than at sign-up. It's wise to complete that early, since it's a one-time process that exists to protect both you and the operator, and getting it out of the way avoids a hold-up when you want to cash out.
Documents You May Be Asked For
Keep these to hand depending on your route.
- A government-issued photo ID such as a passport or driver's licence
- Proof of your residential address for online KYC
- A Star Club card for entry to the land-based floor
Points to Be Aware of Before Registering
A couple of things are worth understanding upfront. Entry and play are strictly 18 and over. The Star is currently operating under the oversight of an independent manager, with its licence suspended — a corporate matter that doesn't restrict ordinary visitors from entering and playing. For online play, offshore platforms sit in a grey area under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, responsible gambling tools are available to help you stay in control, and accounts generally run in native AUD without conversion costs.
