More than half of the woman's income was spent on gambling.
A woman barred from gambling at a casino over staff concerns she was "overspending" as a pensioner has had the ban overturned based on her multi-million dollar inheritance.
SB sought to overturn the ban as the casino was a "social outlet" for her and she could afford her gambling based on inheriting real estate worth between $2.8 million and $3.6 million.In a decision handed down late December, Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal member Michael Howe found SB's time and money spent in the casino "seems excessive" but she was not adversely affecting herself to the point where a ban was warranted under legislation.
When casino staff asked SB about spending $30,000 at the casino between April 2022 and January 2023, SB said she was not concerned because she had her own money.Later that month Star Casino deactivated SB's VIP swipe card and asked her to provide more information about her finances.Star calculated SB's annual income at $51,000, primarily from fortnightly carer's payments, and informed her she was being excluded as a problem gambler.
