The Star to Repay Thousands of Workers After $13 Million of Underpayments Found

Published

Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

Casino operator The Star has told shareholders it will spend approximately $13 million(AUD) to repay around 2200 workers it found were underpaid over a six-year period.

In an update to the market, The Star Entertainment Group Limited said it identified the underpayment of wages following a six-year retrospective wage review.

The review found that in some cases salaried team members were found not to be “better off overall” as their annual salary did not sufficiently compensate them for their equivalent award entitlements such as overtime and penalty rates.

Approximately 2200 workers were on annualised salaries underpinned by a modern award during the review period.

The payback of wages – which include interest and superannuation contributions where applicable – is expected to cost approximately $13 million.

Managing Director and CEO Matt Bekier apologised to affected employees and said processes have been put in place to ensure workers are compensated fairly for their work.

“We apologise to any team member impacted by the payment shortfall and we are committed to doing the right thing by acting transparently. Our priority is to address this issue and to ensure that it doesn’t happen again,” Mr Bekier said.

Following the review, The Star has informed the Fair Work Ombudsman and the United Workers Union.

United Workers Union casinos deputy director Imogen Beynon said any instance of underpayment was concerning.

“It’s always concerning when workers are underpaid,” Ms Beynon said in a statement.

“We expect that the company will quickly rectify the issue for all workers and if any of our members are impacted that any monies owed are repaid quickly and in full.

“We know from this example and many others that incidences of wage theft and underpayments are reduced when people are covered by a union agreement.”

Solitics launches In-Game Pulse for personalised in-play betting offers

Solitics has launched In-Game Pulse, a powerful tool that allows operators to turn real-time sports moments into high-impact engagement with bettors.

With In-Game Pulse, operators can respond to goals, plays and key events with personalised in-play betting offers, delivered to players when their attention peaks, not after.

It’s powered by Solitic’s new Follow Engine, which tracks what each bettor is interested in and then automatically delivers tailored campaigns based on those interests.

This means marketers build just one journey, rather than separate ones for each possibility.

In-Game Pulse works by connecting an operator’s user data with a live sports feed, then the Follow Engine adapts a single flow to match each user’s interests in real time.

Marketers can then trigger journeys based on the most important moments in a game – a goal, red card – as and when they happen, meaning they are no longer limited to just user behaviour.

The best part is that each campaign is tailored to the individual bettor, and based on the teams, athletes and events they care about.

This makes In-Game Pulse the perfect solution for personalised in-play betting engagement.

This is an example of how it works.

A team scores a goal. 

All users with that team in their favourites list get notified instantly. 

The messaging is kept really simple:

“Big Moment! Your team just scored. Want to double down on the momentum?”. 

The great thing about In-Game Pulse is that it’s not a workaround or a third-party add-on; instead, it sits within Solitics’ engagement flows.

This means operators and their marketing teams can deliver hyper-personalised campaigns at peak interest, with the speed and control that Solitics has built its reputation on.

Guy Shemer, VP Product at Solitics, said: “In-Game Pulse will change the game for how marketers engage players with in-play betting communications and offers. 

“In the past, they have had to map out multiple journeys, and this has created a tremendous amount of work, let alone the challenge of pushing communications at the right time. 

“In-Game Pulse does all the heavy lifting here, allowing marketers to engage players in the moment and when their attention peaks, not after. 

“In short, it allows operators to go beyond their own data and react instantly to live sports moments – moments that can drive betting activity.”
