The Stars Group had made its first purchase of the 62% mentioned above on February 27th. That initial investment purchase was $117 million AUS ($91 million USD). The Stars Group announced it will pay for the acquisition of William Hill Australia by CrownBet and in turn become an 80% stakeholder in the Crownbet company. The total amount spent by The Stars Group is $315 millions USD.
