17 October 2022 - Star casino licence suspended

In response to the revelations of the Bell Report, the NSW Independent Casino Commission (NICC) has decided to suspend The Star’s licence, fine the casino giant $100 million, and appoint a manager.

NICC Chief Commissioner Philip Crawford said, in conjunction with the decision to take the disciplinary actions of suspension and pecuniary penalty, a manager has been appointed by the NICC, which will enable the casino to remain operational while The Star’s licence is suspended.

“The suspension comes into effect Friday 21 October 9.00am when the manager starts in the role,” Mr Crawford said.
