Star Entertainment is again scrambling to convince a gambling regulator that its casino licence should not be ripped after the Queensland government joined NSW to demand the company prove it could be trusted with the permit.

A damning review into Star’s corporate culture and allegations by former judge Robert Gotterson of money laundering left it open to the Palaszczuk government to find the company was unfit to hold a casino licence, which could lead to the possible suspension or loss of its permits for its Brisbane and Gold Coast casinos and millions of dollars in fines.
