    Star Entertainment Group enters guilty plea on charge of letting players purchase chips with credit cards

    Australia’s Star Entertainment Group has pleaded guilty to seven charges of breaching Queensland’s Casino Control Act by allowing players to purchase gaming chips with a credit card, the government announced Monday.

    The charges, which comes after Star was found unsuitable to hold its Queensland casino licenses but given a two-year window to prove otherwise, relate to offences that took place between 2 June 2017 and 29 December 2018, and between 23 March 2022 and 2 April 2022.

    Sentencing is set down for 2 June 2023, according to Queensland Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman.

    “The Queensland Government is committed to ensuring Queensland casinos are operated lawfully, ethically and in a way that maintains the highest standards of integrity and public confidence,” Fentiman said.

    Star has already been hit with an AU$100 million (US$67 million) fine by the Queensland state government for failures uncovered in its recent review – the second fine of that magnitude after the NSW government earlier issued an AU$100 million fine of its own.

    Star operates two casinos in Queensland – The Star Gold Coast and Treasury Brisbane – and plans to open its AU$3.6 billion (US$2.4 billion) Queen’s Wharf Brisbane development by the end of the year.
