Coins can only be used on the Platform and cannot be used for any other purpose outside of the Platform.

2. purchased by you for "real world" money;
3. purchased by you for Casino Dollars if you are a member of The Star Club; or

2. transferred into or exchanged for Casino Dollars;
3. transferred into or exchanged for Stars; or
4. exchanged into something of monetary value or anything else of real world value.

If you are a member of The Star Club, you may use your existing Casino Dollars to purchase Coins.
We may adjust your Coins if they incorrectly accrue in your favour or on the suspension, cancellation or termination of your Account without prior notice. In any other circumstance, we may cancel or adjust your Coins at any time on reasonable prior notice.

4.2 Stars

Stars may be allocated to you by The Star Online (at its sole discretion) for accessing and using the Platform. You should note that Stars will not be allocated to you through gameplay (including successful gameplay) and the number of Stars you receive is in no way associated with, or dependent on, your gameplay.
Stars will be allocated to you upon the purchase of Coins for "real world" money. The amount of Stars to be allocated to you as a consequence of the purchase of Coins will be notified to you immediately prior to such purchase.
Stars can only be redeemed for Partner Products through the Redemption Station.
If not otherwise redeemed for Partner Products, all of your Stars will expire on the date which is 90 days following the last date on which you were allocated a Star under this clause 4.2.
We may adjust your Stars if they incorrectly accrue in your favour or on the suspension, cancellation or termination of your Account.

4.3 Transfer and gifting

The transfer of Coins or Stars by a User is strictly prohibited unless otherwise approved by The Star Online, at its sole discretion. Outside of the Platform, you may not buy or sell any Coins or Stars for "real world" money or otherwise exchange them for items for value.
Any attempt to do so is strictly forbidden and in violation of these Terms and may result in a lifetime ban from the Platform and possible legal action. The Star Online may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, allow you to gift Coins or Stars to other Users.
The Star Online may, at its sole discretion, choose to transfer, gift or re-award Stars. Without limitation, this may include in circumstances where a User has made a genuine mistake when creating an Account and is required to create a new Account with accurate details for the purposes of redeeming Stars.

4.4 Redemption Station

Stars may be redeemed for Partner Products through the Redemption Station accessible through the Platform.
Users redeem Stars at their own discretion. The Star Online does not give any warranty or make any representation in relation to:
1. the nature and type of Partner Products available at any time through the Redemption Station; or
2. the underlying value of any Partner Product other than the face value of the Eligible Voucher denominated in Australian Dollars.
Without limiting a User's rights under the Australian Consumer Law, once a User has redeemed Stars for a Partner Product through the Redemption Station it cannot be cancelled or amended by the User or exchanged by the User for different Partner Products.
To the full extent permitted by Law, The Star Online shall not be liable in any way for any Partner Products which are unavailable, including as a result of a technical malfunction, operator fault, misrepresentation for which we are not responsible or any other reason outside our control.
All money amounts quoted for Partner Products:
1. are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and include Goods & Services Tax (GST) where applicable;
2. are exclusive of credit and debit card service fees; and
3. include delivery charges, unless otherwise stated.

4.5 Delivery and use of Eligible Vouchers

Unless otherwise stated at the time of redemption or agreed by us, Partner Products in the form of Eligible Vouchers will be delivered via email to the email address provided upon registration and addressed to the User.
Eligible Vouchers claimed by a User will be accessible by that User within the Platform. Users may:
1. digitally access their Eligible Voucher through their web browser or the Platform's mobile application; or
2. print their Eligible Voucher from the Platform (when accessed via a web browser).
Eligible Vouchers ordered by a User through the Redemption Station are conditional upon that User ensuring that the Eligible Voucher is not used by any person other than that User, unless otherwise permitted by The Star Online in writing. You may be required to verify your identity and entitlement to the Eligible Voucher in order to use it. The Star Online may allow the transfer of Eligible Vouchers at its sole discretion. Where the Eligible Voucher relates to a group booking or activity, the User who ordered the Eligible Voucher must be included in that group and participate in the utilisation of that Eligible Voucher, unless otherwise permitted by The Star Online in writing.
Unless the terms of use of a particular Eligible Voucher provide otherwise, all Eligible Vouchers:
1. are to be redeemed with the Partner specified on the Eligible Voucher; and
2. must be redeemed by the expiry date shown on the Eligible Voucher. An Eligible Voucher cannot be used after that time and a User will not be reimbursed or re-credited any amount in circumstances where a User does not use an Eligible Voucher prior to its expiry date.
If the User is a member of The Star Club and the User has redeemed Stars for an Eligible Voucher that relates to any of The Star Club Properties, that Eligible Voucher will be automatically loaded on The Star Club membership card of that User.
Eligible Vouchers cannot be exchanged for money and will not be replaced if stolen, lost, damaged, destroyed or otherwise altered after delivery to the User.
All Eligible Vouchers will have an issue date and an expiry date. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that the Eligible Voucher is redeemed prior to the expiration date of any Eligible Voucher. The Star Online will not be liable for any loss suffered in connection with your failure to redeem an Eligible Voucher by its expiry date, and The Star Online is not obligated to replace your Eligible Voucher or refund the Stars which were redeemed for the Eligible Voucher in the event you do not redeem an Eligible Voucher by the expiry date.

4.6 Partner Products

The Star Online partners with third party suppliers and manufacturers, including The Star Club Properties, who are able to provide Partner Products to Users in connection with the redemption of Stars through the Redemption Station (Partners).
The redemption of Stars through the Redemption Station for Partner Products amounts to a request by a User to The Star Online to manage the process under which a Partner is directed by The Star Online, us or its contractors, to supply a Partner Product to that User. The Star Online supplies the opportunity for Users to obtain a Partner Product from Partners and The Star Online's obligations are limited to procuring that opportunity.
A Partner Product may be supplied subject to its specific terms and conditions, including matters as to a User's eligibility, which will be communicated on or prior to the time that Stars are redeemed for that Partner Product. Users should ensure that they are familiar with and understand the terms and conditions applied by Partners in respect of Partner Products before redeeming Stars for those Partner Products through a Redemption Station. By redeeming Stars for a Partner Product you agree to comply with such specific terms and conditions applying to that Partner Product.
Partner Products are not supplied or manufactured by The Star Online and The Star Online makes no commitment regarding the availability of particular Partner Products to be supplied to Users. Without limitation, The Star Online cannot guarantee the availability of particular Partner Products to meet any order.
Warranties, if any, in relation to Partner Products are provided by the third party supplier or manufacturer to those Partner Products and not by The Star Online. To the extent permitted by law, The Star Online does not accept liability for defects in quality or the condition of goods or services and make no claims or warranties in relation to Partner Products.
Should a User have any claim regarding the quantity, quality or otherwise of a Partner Product, the User should direct that claim to the supplier or manufacturer of that Partner Product in accordance with the warranty information provided (if applicable).
Any contracts The Star Online may have with Partners in relation to Partner Products are personal to The Star Online and are not for the benefit of, or enforceable by, Users.
You may be required to verify your identity and entitlement to the Partner Product in order for delivery to occur.

5. Payment

The Star Online accepts all Payment Methods listed on the Platform, as updated or amended from time to time.
Where any payment that you make is not authorised by your credit card or bank provider, your purchase of Coins will not be processed.

You acknowledge and agree that to the maximum extent permitted by Law, The Star Online will not be liable for any loss or damage arising out of any use of a third party payment gateway. You should read and understand the terms of the third party merchant facilities before using them.
If purchasing Coins through the iOS or Android application, the terms and conditions of the Apple App Store, Google Play (or such other Android application store), as applicable, will apply to the purchasing of such Coins.
