Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Five Stars Center, we believe that sweepstakes casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please play responsibly and within your means.
Remember: The house always has an edge. Only wager money you can afford to lose, and never gamble with funds needed for essentials like rent, food, or utilities.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal gambling age in your state, whichever is higher) to participate in sweepstakes gaming on Five Stars Center. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all federal and state regulations.
If you are under the legal age, please do not create an account or engage in any gaming activities on our platform.
