What we do
With gaming being a core component of SKYCITY Darwin, it is our belief that Host Responsibility is both good for business, because it is consistent with having a sustainable operation and most of all, the right thing to do.
We are aware that our business has the potential to contribute to negative social impacts in relation to both problem gambling and excessive alcohol consumption.
In line with our determination to contribute responsibly as a corporate citizen we are serious in our efforts to address these.
We have introduced a number of Host Responsibility initiatives to address problem gambling:
Staff Training
All SKYCITY Darwin staff, irrespective of their areas of operation, receive training in Host Responsibility, ranging from an introductory level of training for back-of-house staff, to specialist advanced training in the identification and handling of problem gambling for senior front-of-house staff and management. Training modules are developed in consultation with senior problem gambling treatment providers.
Self-Exclusion
SKYCITY Darwin offers a self-exclusion option to customers who believe they may have a gambling problem. Under this option, customers volunteer to exclude themselves from entering SKYCITY Darwin or SKYCITY Darwin Gamin areas.
Find out more about our self exclusion policy.
Gambling Support Service
