The Star’s Problem Gambling Approach Called Appalling as Compliance Cuts
The operator has faced years of regulatory findings of severe, systematic non-compliance with Australian casino rules. Anonymous sources say The Star has cut its compliance team to four members, the risk team to two, and the investigation team has also been reduced. The smaller workforce can’t always identify customers at risk, and a memo warned it may fall short of regulatory commitments. It continues remediation and published unaudited Q4 results showing a narrower EBITDA loss.
