The NSW casino regulator has refrained from revoking Star Entertainment Group’s Sydney casino license, opting instead to fine the company AU$15 million and continue to impose a raft of license conditions.
The Star’s license will remain suspended and Nick Weeks, the Manager appointed by the NSW Independent Casino Commission (NICC) to maintain oversight of The Star Sydney’s casino operations, will continue in that role until at least March 2025, the regulator said, at which time it will reassess Star’s suitability.
In a Thursday statement, NICC Chief Commissioner Philip Crawford said the second Bell inquiry identified continuing compliance failures and operations at The Star that fell far short of suitability.
