Lawsuit Claims Star Sydney Exploited Gambling Addiction

In a lawsuit filed recently, Lee alleges that he was misled into signing documents he couldn’t fully understand, which allowed the casino to extend credit to him, fueling his gambling habits. These claims were reported by The Australian, highlighting that Lee’s situation was exacerbated by his inability to read English.

Billionaire Developer Sues Star Sydney for $37 Million Over Gambling Losses

Do you think that these charges can stand in court? Did Phillip Dong Fang Lee want to recover his losses through legal remedy?
Do you think this is going to be a bad precedent if Phillip Dong Fang Lee wins the case, and casinos should check the behavior of their players if they are exploiting their addiction?

First of all the only reason why he is granted an audience is because he is a billionaire. He's probably frustrated for losing huge amounts of money but this is something that every other person goes through. And I wonder why he signed a document that he couldn't read if he didn't understand the language been written. Translators can help you bridge the language barriers he should have considered using one

poor people who end up losing even more money don’t have enough money to file a lawsuit that’s why we don’t hear about them anymore lol anyway there’s a difference between the casino making him believe a false statement vs him just misunderstanding a statement and that’s what we have to look at

was the casino clear with their terms and regulations?
