A Canberra widow is speaking out after her husband’s suicide, blaming mounting gambling debts tied to the Hellenic Club’s alleged role in helping them bypass cash withdrawal limits. She claims staff encouraged her to make multiple small EFTPOS withdrawals—up to $1,400 in one session—to skirt the $200 daily cap, while treating them like VIPs with free meals and drinks. Though the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal found the club breached regulations, it cleared them of failing to record problem gambling signs due to vague laws. In response, the ACT Minister for Gaming Reform vows sweeping reforms, including a new code of practice, mandatory staff training, and potential bans on EFTPOS and ATM withdrawals to stop cash workarounds.
