PUB PENALISED FOR GAMBLING INDUCEMENTS

Published

Parramatta’s Rose and Crown Hotel has been fined for offering patrons inducements to gamble after a disgruntled general manager reported the pub, sparking a prosecution in which she herself was convicted of stealing $15,000.

Between 2017 and 2018, staff at the Rose and Crown allowed at least $145,000 in credit and debit withdrawals from the bar’s eftpos machine, loaned money from the safe to gamblers, and provided free alcohol and cigarettes to keep people playing the pokies.

The hotel’s general manager, Samantha Glynn, was also manipulating the poker machine payout system by changing the values on leftover credit tickets and creating fake tickets, allegedly stealing up to $400,000.

When Ms Glynn was discovered and suspended from her duties, she reported the hotel to Liquor & Gaming NSW. The subsequent investigation revealed a host of breaches and resulted in the matter being referred to both the Independent Liquor & Gaming Authority and NSW Police.

The Rose and Crown was also in breach of its licence for positioning an ATM in the gaming room; not making contact cards available to players; having gambling-related signage and gaming machines visible from outside the hotel; and supplying alcohol and operating gaming machines outside of stipulated trading hours on Good Friday.

Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority Chair, Phil Crawford, said the hotel lacked oversight and controls by those tasked with these responsibilities.

“Staff used phantom transactions to mask cash withdrawals for gambling, but even more incredibly, they gave out loans from the safe,” Mr Crawford said.

“At one point a manager loaned a total of $8,000 from the pub’s safe, to a patron who wanted to keep playing the pokies. A security guard also used the safe to loan $800 to another gambler.

“The hotel was essentially facilitating cash advances for gambling via a system of fake transactions and this is an obvious risk for problem gambling.”

NSW Police charged Ms Glynn with theft totalling $15,000 and she was sentenced to an 18-month intensive correction order.

The Independent Liquor & Gaming Authority fined the Hotel’s licensee, a company called RC One Pty Ltd $107,358. Approved manager Paul Camkin was fined $10,000 and disqualified for 12 months from being a licensee or being the approved manager of a hotel. Two close associates, Jason Marlow and Damien Kelly, were given a reprimand and, along with Mr Camkin, ordered to pay the costs of the Authority’s investigation.

“Thanks to the tip off from the general manager, we were able to step in and investigate the hotel, ultimately holding the licensee and its close associates to account,” Mr Crawford said.

George Miller (Gyorgy Molnar) started his career in content marketing and has started working as an Editor/Content Manager for our company in 2016. George has acquired many experiences when it comes to interviews and newsworthy content becoming Head of Content in 2017.

Abios, a global leader in esports data and odds provision and part of the Kambi Group, has launched a full ebasketball odds feed with accompanying stats and real-time streams, creating an all-in-one solution for sportsbooks looking to offer continuous content for basketball fans. It is based on Abios’ partnership with betting content and data supplier BETER.

Esoccer became one of the most bet-on verticals on the Kambi network after the launch of Abios’ odds feed and to build on its success Abios has launched ebasketball, based on BETER`s proprietary ESportsBattle tournaments. Ebasketball will be added to Kambi’s comprehensive Esports betting options, as well as direct from Abios as part of its wider esports portfolio.

With 3,000+ monthly events, ebasketball provides a digital counterpart to NBA and other major basketball leagues. It offers consistent content for operators, allowing them to deliver engaging, 15-minute matches in NBA2K during the off-season and between high-tier matches.

Abios’ all-in-one solution for ebasketball includes an odds feed, stats, and real-time streams, enabling users to stay on-site to consume the content.

Powered by data through a partnership with BETER, Abios’ highly automated odds feed allows for greater market efficiency and uptime while minimising bet delays. To account for edge cases and add the “human touch”, Abios’ odds feed is monitored 24/7 by a team of seasoned traders across the globe.

Anton Janér, Managing Director and Founder at Abios, said: “Seeing the popularity of esoccer among our partners, we’re thrilled to create a similar solution for ebasketball. With its easy-to-understand nature and engaging gameplay, we’re confident it will help sportsbooks attract and retain fans of major basketball leagues and fill in the gaps in the seasonal sports calendar.”

Chuck Robinson, Chief Revenue Officer at BETER, said: “Fast-paced esports contests are increasingly vital for operators looking to fill gaps in their offerings, providing fresh opportunities for both acquisition and retention, and meeting the demands of the growing audience of Millennials and Gen Z.

“The key to delivering an immersive betting experience lies in reliable data and high-quality, accurate odds. BETER’s role as a trusted provider of live data, 24/7 streaming, and odds for esports is further highlighted by our long-term collaboration with Abios. By leveraging our ESportsBattle tournaments, Abios is enhancing its offerings, delivering engaging and high-value experiences for their operator partners.

In the spirit of Halloween, the FBM Foundation brought smiles and support to the indigenous children of Subic through its heartwarming “Treats for Our Champions” initiative. Partnering with St. Francis Learning Center Foundation, Inc., the Foundation aimed not only to provide essential goods but also to create a day filled with joy, tradition, and Halloween cheer.

The FBM Foundation, in partnership with St. Francis Learning Center Foundation, Inc., organized the “Treats for Our Champions” event. This initiative allowed for the donation of 60 sacks of rice, 1,500 assorted canned goods, 50 packs of condiments, and 60 packs of milk. Beyond these essential supplies, the children enjoyed a Halloween celebration filled with treats and cultural pride. Traditional Indigenous dance performances and role-playing activities organized by the children themselves offered a heartfelt showcase of their heritage and talent, adding color and cultural significance to the day.

“We went beyond the donation in this event by bringing a meaningful experience that nurtured joy, pride, and community spirit. Seeing the children’s smiles and hearing their laughter as they exchanged goodies truly underscored the success of this initiative,” stated Lulu Barreras, FBM Foundation Project Coordinator in the Philippines.

Alongside the donations, the FBM Foundation distributed Halloween-themed treats, including candies and small toys, which brought an extra dose of happiness to the children. The event was met with touching moments, such as children who had already received toys kindly returning them, saying they wanted to share with other kids. This heartwarming behavior demonstrated the strong community values instilled by the caregivers at St. Francis Learning Center Foundation.

Part of the initiative was also made possible through the “Keepy-Uppy Charity Challenge” success, a partnership celebrated between FBM Foundation and FBMDS, the online casino gaming provider from the group, during the G2E Las Vegas casino gaming trade-show.

Booth visitors joined this challenge with enthusiasm, where each keepy-uppy added $1 to support meaningful causes. Thanks to everyone’s involvement, FBM Foundation raised nearly $1,000, which helped bring the “Treats for Our Champions” event to life. This collective effort turned fun into impactful support for the indigenous children of Subic, making the day truly special.

The FBM Foundation’s dedication to supporting communities extends beyond material contributions. Through meaningful partnerships with organizations like St. Francis Learning Center Foundation, Inc., the Foundation continues to build and nurture relationships within communities, helping to create brighter futures for those most in need.
