The Problem Gambling Foundation would like regulators to bring in stricter rules for casinos.
SkyCity had over a quarter of a billion dollars wiped off its market value yesterday, after Internal Affairs applied to suspend its gaming licence.
It accused the casino of failing to uphold its host responsibilities relating to the amount of time a customer was able to spend gambling.
Andree Froude of the Problem Gambling Foundation says people can spend five hours gambling in a casino before hosts are meant to intervene, and she'd like that limit reduced.
Froude spoke to Corin Dann.
