The Gambling Commission seeks submissions on SKYCITY Auckland’s application to change the way its minimum charitable trust donations are calculated.

The current calculation uses a percentage of net profit from the casino and associated facilities including the Sky Tower, hotel and convention centre. SKYCITY is proposing instead to use a figure based on a percentage of its casino winnings. SKYCITY states that funding under its new proposal will match historical levels.

For more information on SKYCITY’s application, or on making a submission, visit www.gamblingcommission.govt.nz
