Star legal counsel believed CUP use for gambling “legally workable”

Star Entertainment’s in-house lawyer, Oliver White, has told an inquiry in New South Wales that he believed the use of China UnionPay debit cards to busy gaming chips was “legally workable.”

White told the inquiry that he knew that China UnionPay cards were not permitted to be used for gambling purposes. But he thought that using the hotel’s point of sale machines to swipe the cards instead would be permitted, local media reports.

Once the funds cleared, they were transferred to be used for gaming, he told the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority probe.
