Take that seriously.
SkyCity takes its anti-money laundering responsibilities and obligations very seriously. SkyCity has processes and practices in place in its business to detect and prevent money laundering and continually reviews these to ensure it meets all anti-money laundering requirements.
How many people truly believe that is what happens

“ At the top of every bubble, everyone is convinced it's not yet a bubble.”
I have personally witnessed heavy hitters laying down one strap after another after another after another on the main gaming floor at Sky City Auckland and nobody in authority batted an eyelid. A strap is 100, 100 dollar notes. One strap is $10,000. A brick is 40 straps. i.e. a brick is $400,000. I suspect a lot of bricks get "washed" upstairs in the high rollers room which is closed to the general public. My father always used to call these places dens of iniquity. I find it difficult to believe that many straps and bricks of money come from legitimate sources of revenue...
A real "SIN" stock. One to definitely avoid if you value your soul, in my opinion. Where there's smoke there's usually fire and in SKC's case that's been more than just a metaphor, Karma ?
i spent a little time working on the tables at sky city so i could study gambling techniques to incorporate into my trading strategies and i can say from dealing in the vip room that the money crossed in there is unbelievable 40k on a blackjack hand not uncommon.
when i was there also once was offered by a punter a large amount of money in the carpark after work if i cut the deck more favourable for him. of course the machines now make that not an option now.

An acquaintance/not a friend who is a high roller at Auckland. He has apparently chosen to ban himself for 6 months…….. He always boasted to friends about how much cash he was taking from jobs he did and taking that cash to Auckland to gamble. He is in something like the black club which means he spends a huge amount per year. The ban does sound like a skycity ban rather than by his choice, but will it be permanent?
watched a video about online gambling in Philippine, it's down right scary how crime ridden the industry is over there, but it's so profitable to the underworld that even China's call to shut it down was "politely" refused by the gov't there
SKC not the only one at risk of losing their license. Crown under investigation in Melbourne for some very dodgy practices. WOW - fascinating insight into the world of high roller betting. https://thewest.com.au/business/crow...ay+9+June+2021
