A "PROBLEM" gambler who asked to be banned from Sydney's Star City has failed in his bid to recover money he lost when he regularly returned to the casino.

Following losses in May 2004, Mr Foroughi asked to be placed on an "exclusion" list to ban him from the casino.

"Notwithstanding his express undertakings, Mr Foroughi claims to have entered Star City's casino on 65 occasions between June 2004 and January 2006 and to have suffered gambling losses on those occasions amounting to many hundreds of thousands of dollars," the judge said.
