SkyCity agrees to five-day closure of Auckland casino gambling area
SkyCity Casino Management Limited agreed with the Secretary for Internal Affairs to close SkyCity Auckland’s gambling area for five consecutive days in 2024. The agreement depends on the Gambling Commission consenting to withdrawal of the secretary’s application to suspend the casino operator’s licence; SkyCity acknowledged failures in monitoring continuous play and issued a formal apology.
The agreed closure and acknowledged host-responsibility failures affect SkyCity Auckland’s operations and regulatory obligations.
