Players were allowed to gamble non-stop for more than a day and a half at Sydney's Star casino, exceeding legal time limits by more than 24 hours.
Star Sydney has been hit with $10 million in fines for regulatory breaches, including exceeding gaming time limits and failing to properly vet patrons for links to criminal and terrorist activity.
The casino will be required to set a further $5 million aside to bolster its financial crime risk management operations by the the independent body behind the fines, the NSW Independent Casino Commission.
A $1.5 million fine was imposed for allowing customers to exceed gaming time limits on multiple occasions between May 2024 and April 2025, the commission revealed on Monday.
In some cases patrons were able to gamble for more than 36 hours straight, despite regulations limiting gambling to no more than 12 hours in a 24-hour period.
