Licensees of Chittaway Bay Tavern and Regent Hotel will face charges in court over alleged breaches of NSW gaming laws following investigations by Liquor & Gaming NSW (L&GNSW).

At the Chittaway Bay Tavern on the Central Coast, the regulator found alleged breaches including:

  • Situating gaming machines in a manner whereby they were visible from outside the hotel
  • Locating an ATM in an area where gaming machines were kept
  • Compelling patrons to pass through the gaming room to access the ATM

On 22 November 2022, L&GNSW conducted an inspection of the venue and allegedly identified that the gaming machines were positioned where they could be seen from outside the hotel, breaching Clause 8(2)(e) of the Gaming Machines Regulation 2019.

During that inspection, an ATM was allegedly found in the same area that gaming machines were kept, in breach of NSW gaming laws.

A reinspection on 10 December 2022 allegedly found that patrons were required to pass through the gaming room to access the ATM.

At the Regent Hotel in Kingsford, Sydney, L&GNSW discovered alleged violations including:

  • Allowing gaming machines to operate outside the licensed trading hours on various dates
  • Permitting a gaming machine to operate during the three-hour shut down period

On 20 and 27 November and 4 December 2022, the licensee allegedly permitted gaming machines to be operated between 5am and 6am, which is outside the hotel’s licensed trading hours under NSW gaming laws.

On 4 December 2022, the licensee allegedly allowed a gaming machine to operate during the hotel’s three-hour shut down period on a weekend/public holiday.

The licensee of Chittaway Bay Tavern, Dianne Lee Walsh, and the licensee of the Regent Hotel, Jessica Ng, are due to appear in the Downing Centre Local Court in relation to the charges on 11 July 2023.

Score Queens launches with free-to-play World Cup predictor game Palace Picks

Score Queens, a new female-first sports gaming community, has launched with Palace Picks, a free-to-play daily predictor game created for this summer’s World Cup.

Palace Picks runs throughout the tournament and asks players to answer five multiple-choice predictor questions plus one score prediction linked to that day’s matches. Players collect “Jewels” through participation, which the company says can be used to unlock raffle tickets for the headline prize.

The product has been developed in collaboration with Two-Up, a digital agency focused on sports, betting and gaming experiences. Score Queens said the partnership combines its brand positioning with Two-Up’s product, UX and digital delivery work.

The launch prize, sponsored by Vision4Sport, is a Monaco Grand Prix 2027 experience for one winner and a guest. The package includes Friday attendance with two grandstand passes, two superyacht party tickets in Port Hercule with food and drinks, and £1,500 towards flights and accommodation. Score Queens values the prize at over £5,000.

Kitty Miller, Founder of Score Queens, said: “Score Queens came from a very simple frustration. Women are already watching sport, talking about sport and being part of the big sporting moments, but so much of the betting and gaming world still feels like it wasn’t built with us in mind.

“Palace Picks is our first step in changing that. It is free to play, easy to join, and designed to bring more women into the sporting conversation through play, prediction, culture and community. We wanted to create something that feels fun, social and accessible, without dumbing anything down.”

Lottomart launches Flash Pots, adding ThrillTech’s operator-branded jackpots to its regulated markets.

ThrillTech has launched its ThrillPots™ side-bet jackpot product with Lottomart across the operator’s regulated UK and Gibraltar markets.

The rollout introduces Flash Pots, a ThrillPots™-powered jackpot game integrated within Lottomart’s gaming platform. ThrillTech said the deployment expands its UK footprint and adds another regulated-market operator to its integration network.

ThrillPots™ is an operator-branded jackpot layer designed to sit alongside existing betting and gaming products. Players opt in by placing a small additional stake alongside eligible gameplay—such as slots, live casino games or sports bets—for a chance to enter pooled jackpot prizes.

Ben Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Lottomart is exactly the kind of operator ThrillPots is built for. Lottomart is renowned for offering the excitement of jackpots and we’re delighted that ThrillPots™ can elevate the experience for players.”

Chris Ruddock, Commercial Director at Lottomart commented: “Jackpot-centric gaming is core to the Lottomart experience, making this partnership a natural evolution of our offering. While our players are already engaged with our Jackpot pooled prizes, this collaboration allows us to bring a uniquely branded proposition to our players. We are thrilled to introduce Flash Pots, our new ThrillPots™ powered jackpot, to the site.”

ThrillTech said it is now live across 10 regulated jurisdictions and has recently announced partnerships with NordPlay, EstrelaBet in Brazil, the Tote Group and BVGroup’s UK brands such as Betano, talkSPORT Bet and Heart Bingo. The company also said it holds ISO 27001 certification.
