Peri was sentenced to six years in December 2021. She wants to plead a lighter sentence because of her unhealthy relationship with games of chance.

However, some developers find ways to push their products as social experiences.
Perri stole $AU1M to play on Social Casino. Her latest appeal to reduce the sentence was denied. The judges ruled that she had premeditated the crime. Perri did not win any money and probably used the entire sum of money to go to Heart of Vegas.
