The appointment comes three months after Matt Bekier stepped down as the casino operator’s CEO in the wake of multiple inquiries over possible breaches of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism laws at the company’s casinos.

“There are challenges for The Star that have been well documented. They will be my priority and focus,” Cooke said.

In a separate statement, Tyro Payments said Cooke had served a six-month notice period, stating that he would step down as the payments terminal provider’s CEO.
