Preston Hotel Fined for Underage Gambling in Victoria
A Magistrate has ordered the Preston Hotel to pay a total of $25,300 for allowing a 16-year-old to access betting terminals and gamble at the Hotel on six occasions between May and September 2022.
The VGCCC charged the Preston Hotel in May 2023, following a tip-off from a member of the public.
The Magistrate highlighted the potential for long-term harm that comes from a minor gambling and warned the industry and venues that the onus is on them to stop minors gambling, not on the minor.
In handing down the sentence, her Honour reduced the fine and removed the need to record the conviction, noting the venue operators’ willingness to enter an early plea and to take proactive steps to rectify their failings.
This is the first case to be dealt with by the court regarding a series of charges involving Tabcorp and several other Melbourne gambling venues who allowed a minor to gamble. A further eight venues will face court at a future date after being charged by the VGCCC in September 2023.
VGCCC CEO Annette Kimmitt AM welcomed the verdict, saying “It is inexcusable to accept a bet from a minor. This sends a clear message to the entire industry. Failing to prevent minors from accessing gambling products won’t be tolerated.”
The Governor-General, His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Rtd), has accepted the Albanese Government’s recommendation that Ms Nerida O’Loughlin PSM be reappointed as Chair of the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).
Ms O’Loughlin has been reappointed for a three-year term, commencing on 14 October 2024, having first been appointed in 2017 and reappointed in 2022.
The Chair has extensive executive and regulatory experience, and is well respected across the sector. Her reappointment provides continuity as the ACMA works to deliver important outcomes for consumers and industry in the communications and media sectors, and implement reforms being undertaken by Government.
In her current term, Ms O’Loughlin has led the ACMA’s work to strengthen telecommunications consumer safeguards, particularly for vulnerable Australians, overseen the establishment of BetStop – the National Self-Exclusion Register and Australia’s first SMS ID Registry – and taken strong enforcement of anti-scam and illegal gambling rules.
Ms O’Loughlin has also led important work on media diversity, misinformation and disinformation on digital platforms, and supported improved digital connectivity through the allocation of valuable radiocommunications spectrum.
Quotes attributable to Minister for Communications, the Hon Michelle Rowland MP:
“I congratulate Ms Nerida O’Loughlin PSM on her reappointment as Chair of the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
“Since her appointment in 2017, Ms O’Loughlin has led the ACMA to deliver important reforms and regulatory activities in the communications and media industries.
“This includes better supporting consumers facing financial hardship pressures in paying their telecommunications bills, mitigating consumer harms in gambling advertising, enforcing anti-scam rules and taking enforcement action against corporations for non-compliance with Australia’s spam unsubscribe rules.
“The Chair’s continuity will provide the Authority ongoing certainty as the Albanese Government continues its important media and digital platforms reform agenda.
“I look forward to continue working with Ms O’Loughlin as the ACMA Chair.”

The NSW Independent Casino Commission has found Crown Sydney suitable to retain its casino licence after nearly three years of intensive remediation.
Chief Commissioner, Philip Crawford, said Crown has come a long way and must now demonstrate its long-term commitment to maintaining suitability.
“The NICC is confident the Crown we deemed suitable today has a strong model to keep operating into the future,” Mr Crawford said.
The NICC’s suitability assessment established that Crown Sydney has fundamentally reformed its business and is operating the casino within the objects of the Act, the requirements of the suitability deed, and in compliance with its regulatory obligations.
In addition to proving it can run the casino lawfully, Crown has remediated its business in other meaningful ways such as building a culture of transparency and accountability across its integrated resort.
“Hard work and transformation aside, the NICC has not forgotten the level of misconduct exposed in 2021 when Crown was found unsuitable,” said Mr Crawford.
“Crown Sydney has ongoing work to reach steady state and it must continue to lift standards and maintain its cultural transformation.
“There is and will always be room for improvement, but Crown is a changed business that is looking toward the future.
“Likewise, the NICC is a changed regulator with enhanced powers, a singular focus on casinos, and a mandate to address the risks of harm.
“This decision is a positive outcome for Crown Sydney, its staff, and the community – who can be sure the NICC will use all of its powers to keep the casino in check.”
In addition to the implementation of hundreds of new internal controls, the Bergin-based reforms have been reflected in a new licence and new regulatory agreement between Crown Sydney, the NSW Government and the NICC.
These agreements include updated settings, such as the removal of fetters to the NICC’s powers, as well as previous compensation trigger clauses that are no longer part of the casino legislation.
Mr Crawford said: “Crown cannot disregard the responsibility and privilege that comes with holding a casino licence. Crown Sydney’s ability to provide a destination hospitality and entertainment venue underpinned by the restricted gaming facility is contingent on its steadfast commitment to continuing suitability, accountability and compliance.”

With the implementation of Betclic bets you have advantages in the navigation platform, which is much better on mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets. This facilitates especially in situations such as live gambling and casino games, because, thereby, the user must be able to quickly place bets on where and when he wants. You can even opt for close bets that it would be wrong to use the loot. App features are essentially an expansion of the features Betclic provides via its online website version. Unfortunately, Betclic has opted to leave out its two main features, live streaming and the cash-out option. This uncustomary and seldom seen as it impacts punter satisfaction when they wish to punt via the app. However, not all is lost as live betting is available, as are esports and casino gaming.

Most of whatever you assert happens to be astonishingly accurate and that makes me ponder why I hadn’t looked at this in this light previously. This article truly did turn the light on for me personally as far as this issue goes. However at this time there is actually one particular point I am not really too cozy with and while I make an effort to reconcile that with the core theme of the issue, allow me observe just what the rest of your visitors have to point out.Very well done.
