The Star Entertainment Group Limited has withdrawn a $12 billion merger proposal with beleaguered rival Crown Resorts citing the uncertainty over the James Packer-controlled firm retaining its casino licences in the wake of royal commissions in Victoria and Western Australia.

“We continue to believe substantial benefits could be unlocked by a merger, however the uncertainty surrounding Crown is such that The Star is unable to continue at the present time with its Proposal in the form as announced,” the company said in a release to the ASX.
