Local media outlet the Australian Financial Review is reporting that the executives, including Whitehawk’s Managing Director Alex Zuckerman, visited the three Star properties last week – accompanied by recently appointed Star chairman Soo Kim – as they consider whether to sign a binding agreement. It is likely Star wanted the private credit firm to fully understand the scale and potential of the company it was lending to in order to secure the refinancing.

Industry insider was invited to give a keynote speech at Regulating the Game conference in Sydney. A Douglas-based e-gaming executive has been flying the flag for the Isle of Man while speaking at a major international gambling regulation conference in Sydney, Australia.

Speaking at the Regulating the Game event last week, AUSTRAC Chief Executive Officer, Brendan Thomas, stated: “We do not expect perfection on day one. But we do expect sustained effort, strong leadership, and genuine progress in reducing money laundering risk. The core principles of identifying, mitigating, and managing risk remain unchanged.

New Zealand is moving toward regulating online casino gambling for the first time, with a new bill proposing a tightly controlled market capped at just 15 operators and strict rules banning affiliate marketing and influencer endorsements.

The framework was outlined by Paul James, Secretary for Internal Affairs and Chief Executive of the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA), during a presentation on the country’s upcoming regulatory changes at this week’s Regulating The Game conference in Sydney, Australia.

Paul James, Secretary of Internal Affairs and Chief Executive of the Department of Internal Affairs, Te Tari Taiwhenua, stated during a keynote address at the Regulating the Game conference in Sydney that his country’s Online Casino Gambling Bill and associated regulations were specifically designed to encourage domestic players to gravitate towards online gambling sites that fall under the government’s purview.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the gambling industry, but despite the hype around generative AI, the most important applications today remain rooted in predictive analytics, fraud detection and player protection.

That was the central takeaway from a panel discussion on AI at the Regulating the Game 2026 conference in Sydney, moderated by Dr. Paul Devlin – Global Lead for Betting, Gaming & Sports at Amazon Web Services.

As it passed its second reading, the key incentive of the New Zealand Online Casino Bill was undeniably clear as laid out by Paul James, Secretary of Internal Affairs and Chief Executive of the Department of Internal Affairs, Te Tari Taiwhenua.

The CEO of Entain Australia and New Zealand, Andrew Vouris, has called for Australia’s banks to be held to a higher standard in monitoring transactions linked to illegal offshore gaming operators amid concerns over the rising number of websites that target Australian emerging out of jurisdictions like Curaçao and Anjouan.

Andrew Vouris, the Entain executive responsible for guiding the company through one of the sternest examinations of compliance culture in Australian wagering history, has urged the industry to focus on “winning the right way”.

The Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) has publicly recognized that the legal process involving The Star Entertainment Group has experienced significant delays. Despite the slower pace, AUSTRAC maintains that pursuing the case is crucial due to the seriousness of the violations committed by the casino operator.

AUSTRAC CEO Brendan Thomas acknowledged that a lot has changed since the AUSTRAC initiated its legal action, but emphasized that the allegations are “incredibly serious”

The details, outlined by Paul James, Secretary for Internal Affairs, during a presentation at the Regulating The Game conference in Sydney this week, describe a deliberately tight market: a maximum of 15 operating licences, a competitive auction process expected in September, mandatory suitability assessments for all applicants, a ban on credit card and buy-now-pay-later gambling payments, and single-slot-at-a-time restrictions for players. Only licensed operators will be permitted to advertise to New Zealand consumers at all. The maximum fine for illegal advertising will rise from NZD10,000 to NZD5 million for corporate offenders

“Angel Smart Tables represent a genuine step-change. For the first time, operators can prove what is happening on their gaming floors rather than relying on inference or incomplete records. That level of precision is becoming essential in Australia’s environment, and it’s exactly why we’re seeing strong uptake of the technology.”

“Across Australia, regulatory expectations have shifted dramatically. The inquiries, independent monitoring and comprehensive remediation programs of recent years have made one thing absolutely clear: operators need accurate, verifiable table-game data. Traditional manual systems simply can’t meet the evidentiary standards now required under AML/CTF supervision or emerging harm-minimisation frameworks.

Former NSW regulator Paul Newson questions whether Australia’s long-held approach to casino regulation is still relevant today.

Australia’s casino probity regime is a relic of regulatory logic forged in a different era. Rooted in the foundational Street and Connor reports, it was designed to shield the industry from infiltration by organized crime, borrowing heavily from the Las Vegas playbook. These reports recommended adopting a dedicated licensing regime modelled on the US approach, centered on rigorous scrutiny of individuals – financial history, associations, character – as the cornerstone of casino integrity.

Speaking at the Regulating the Game conference in Sydney on Thursday (Mar. 13), AUSTRAC CEO Brendan Thomas made it clear that the gambling industry is still very much in the spotlight.

AUSTRAC CEO Brendan Thomas presents on the current state of affairs in Australian casino compliance and preventing gambling businesses from being exploited by criminals on the third day of Regulating the Game 2025 Sydney.

If you expect AUSTRAC to educate, educate, educate and then take action years later, you’re mistaken. If you think your business is too small to take responsibility for regulatory compliance, you’re also mistaken. Your services in the gambling industry have been subject to a regulatory regime for many years now and it is your responsibility to comply.

Brendan Thomas, CEO, AUSTRAC

Like many jurisdictions around the world who are still grappling with how the law should deal with AI in the corporate world, Australia has yet to commit to a mandatory AI framework, although a Voluntary AI Safety Standard was published by the federal government in August outlining 10 voluntary guardrails that can be applied throughout the AI supply chain.

Australia’s anti-money laundering watchdog AUSTRAC will continue to place a heavy focus on the gambling industry and won’t be cautious in taking action against companies that fail comply with their obligations, CEO Brendan Thomas has promised.

David Tsai first joined the company in 2022 before being selected as the Chief Executive Officer in October 2024. 

The former head of the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) has issued a warning against excessive regulation and taxation of the country’s gambling industry due to mounting evidence that players are being increasingly driven to illegal operators.

Speaking at the Regulating the Game conference in Sydney on Tuesday, Michael Phelan – who served as CEO of the ACIC for five years between 2017 and 2022 – said it was becoming increasingly apparent that heavy regulation of the casino industry and greater taxation of online gaming operators was negatively impacting both operators and players, opening the door for organized crime or illegal offshore offerings to fill the void.
