Mr Gotterson has made 12 recommendations to tighten controls in the state's casino industry, including for venues to go cashless with patrons to use cards linked to their identification and set with loss limits before they start gambling.

Star managing director Matt Beiker resigned inside the third week of hearings after an auditor said he'd been berated by the casino boss for reporting the organisation was not doing enough to comply with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws.

The report from the Queensland inquiry comes a month after the report by the NSW gaming regulator found Star had repeatedly breached the law, misled banks and was infiltrated by criminal elements for years (pictured, Star Casino in Sydney) 

Sony on Thursday introduced its PlayStation Stars loyalty program for PS5 and PS4 gamers. It'll be free to join, and players will be able to earn loyalty points by completing a variety of campaigns and activities. Players can choose from a catalog of options to redeem points, including PlayStation Network wallet funds and select PlayStation Store products.

Mr Gotterson found the company guilty of a serious dereliction of its anti-money laundering responsibilities, deliberately misled the regulator and had poor corporate culture with a 'one-eyed focus' on profit at the expense of patrons.

Star Entertainment could have its gaming licences torn up at two of its Queensland Casinos with an inquiry set to hand Pkv Games down a damning report on Thursday alleging money laundering, tax fraud and offering gifts for suspected criminals.

He later blamed a poor culture at the casino for its failure to clamp down on money laundering and misleading banks and the regulator, revealing he personally green-lit an $11million line of credit to a high roller and okayed illegal lending.

Former acting chief executive Geoff Hogg admitted Star wasn't fully up-front with the Queensland regulator when it changed a policy in order to conceal $55million in banned transactions from a Chinese bank.

Mr Gotterson has recommended casinos introduce gambling cards with a person's identity as well as $1000 cash transaction limits to reduce the likelihood of money laundering and to help gambling addicts.

Neuralink is reportedly looking to explore a deal with Synchron that successfully implanted a chip into a severely paralyzed ALS patient in July, four people who work or have worked at Neuralink told Reuters Monday.

Elon Musk announced his Neuralink is hosting a ‘show and tell' progress event on October 31, which will be the first progress update since the world watched a brain-chipped monkey play a video game with its mind in April 2021 - this animal later died during testing.
