Our Group-wide Commitment to our Customers

Across SKYCITY Entertainment Group our properties host thousands of visitors every week. We take our responsibilities as a host very seriously.

All SKYCITY properties have established best practice host responsibility initiatives to ensure guests enjoy an environment that is safe, responsible, and regulated.

These include training for all staff in the responsible service of alcohol. For example:

  • Intoxicated patrons will be excluded from entering the premises
  • Alcohol consumption will be monitored and controlled

Training for all staff in problem gambling awareness and the responsible provision of gambling, including:

  • Taking all practicable steps to ensure that anyone under 20 years of age is not allowed on the gaming floor.
  • Providing information about problem gambling and support for customers including helpline numbers.
  • A self-exclusion procedure for those wishing to control their gambling.
  • Taking all practicable steps to ensure children are not left unattended.
  • Promoting a neat and tidy standard of dress.

Promoting acceptable behaviour:

  • Any person who is intoxicated, abusive or threatening to staff or other customers, causing conflict, or is otherwise unpleasant, may be escorted from the premises
  • Patrons detected loan sharking or begging will be required to leave SKYCITY.
  • Working closely with problem gambling service providers, community service organisations, customers with gambling problems and their family members.
  • Providing non-smoking areas in excess of or in accordance with national or local legislation.

SKYCITY has a committed management team that ensures these initiatives are carried out at all SKYCITY sites.
