read moreReview Says SkyCity Can Keep Adelaide Casino Licence but Scrutiny Continues
SkyCity Entertainment, the New Zealand gambling company that runs Adelaide’s only casino, has been told it can keep its licence after a two‑year investigation. A report by retired Supreme Court judge Brian Martin concludes the company is “suitable” because it has overhauled management and compliance systems. He notes that if he had been asked in 2021, the answer would have been no and serious shortcomings still exist. The inquiry, launched in 2022 after allegations of lax oversight and a civil case by the federal watchdog AUSTRAC that cost the operator A$67 million, has already forced SkyCity to spend millions on new systems and promise tens of millions more. State authorities are still weighing whether to impose further sanctions or strict licence conditions, so the ruling feels like a reprieve rather than a victory.
