Hellenic Club: Partial win on $1.2 million gambling fine
The Canberra Times
The Hellenic Club won a partial victory, reducing a $1.2 million fine over alleged gambling problems.Summary
The Hellenic Club of Canberra successfully argued that it could not be fully responsible for identifying the Kasurinen couple’s gambling problems, leading the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal to reduce the $1.2 million fine. However, the tribunal upheld the club’s failure to prevent the couple’s repeated $200 EFTPOS withdrawals, a key part of the original penalty. A further hearing in November will decide the final amount, which is expected to be lower than the original fine.
