Gambling in Singapore

The gambling industry has started to develop in Singapore during the last few years as a response to the global trends of gaming activities. However, the Singapore authorities have been preoccupied to provide optimum conditions for gaming operators from the first establishments or casinos, lotteries and other gambling facilities. Considering online gambling has become one of the most prolific industries, the Singapore Casino Regulatory Authority has started implementing laws and regulations to shield legitimate companies from illegal operators.

Legislation related to gambling activities explained by our experts in opening companies in Singapore

There are several laws regulating gambling activities in Singapore. Among these, the oldest are:

• - the Private Lotteries Act of 1952,
• - the Betting Act of 1960,
• - the Common Gaming House Act of 1961,
• - the Betting and Sweepstake Duties Act.

In 2006 the Singapore Casino Regulatory Authority enabled the Casino Control Act in order to allow investors to operate gaming facilities in the city-state based on special licenses. There are currently two large casino operators in Singapore.

In 2014 the Government enabled the Remote Gambling Bill which is meant to regulate online gaming in Singapore. For detailed information about the laws on gaming activities in Singapore or for assistance in order to open a company in Singapore in this field of activity you can refer to our specialists in company incorporation.

Types of gaming activities in Singapore

The 2014 Remote Gambling Bill allows for the following types of gaming activities to be undertaken in Singapore:

The Singapore legislation also establishes that online gambling activities can be conducted through remote communication means such as the Internet, telephone, television or radio.

Whenever gambling is mentioned, the glitzy images of Les Vegas come to mind. America has been considered as a gaming nation for a very long time. However, America is not the world’s biggest gambler as many would think. In fact, the biggest gamblers in the world include countries that are least suspect. The ranking of the 200 gambling countries is based on data provided by H2 Gambling Capital. The ranking takes into account the losses in a year divided by the adult population. The losses include the entire amount lost on all types of gaming including poker, slot machine, horse racing, and casinos.

The Biggest Gambling Countries In The World

Gambling Statistics Singapore 2019 Calendar

Australia

Gambling is so prevalent in Australia that the central bank was led to increase interest rates. Australia allows online wagering on sports. Slot machines are favorite games in the country. New South Wales accounts for half of the country’s total poker machines. Adult gamblers reported a loss of $1,128 per adult with 935 gamblers registered to be banned from casinos between 2006 and 2010. However, these gamblers were caught over 1,200 times for breaching their ban

Singapore

Singapore only opened its first casino in 2010 but has since become one of the largest gambling countries in the world. The opening of casinos in Singapore created worries in the country, with the majority fearing addictions and losses. The government is discouraging gambling by the locals by imposing an entry fee of $81 for locals who wish to enter the casino. Families are also allowed to ban their members from visiting the casinos under the “Family Exclusion Orders.” However, these measures have done little to dampen the gambling spirit in the country. The country recorded $1,174 losses per adult in 2010.

Ireland

The casino industry in Ireland is entirely unregulated because the country depends on the old Gaming and Lottery Act of 1956. According to the law of Ireland, only registered members’ club is allowed to offer casino services. Bets on gaming machines are not allowed beyond 6 pence while the rewards for gaming are allowed up to 10 shillings. However, this law cannot be enforced since the Irish pound has not been in use as a legal tender since 1999. The huge losses by gambling adults which average $588 per adult have forced the government to start enacting laws that will help regulate the gaming industry in Ireland.

Canada

Over 75% of Canadian adults have been involved in at least one form of gambling. The highest number of gamblers in the country comes from Saskatchewan. The province has gambling revenue of $841 per person above the age of 18 years. The popular gambling games in Canada include lottery and scratch and win. The popularity of lottery games in Canada has led to the government setting up initiatives to discourage giving of lottery tickets to minors as gifts. Canada recorded $568 gaming losses per adult

Finland

Over 41% of the adult population in Finland gambles weekly, according to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health. The minimum age for gambling in the country was raised to 18 years in 2011 from 15 in the previous years in a bid to discourage gambling among children. The national lottery company in Finland is a property of the government and is managed by the Ministry of Education with the revenue from the company channeled to education, culture, and arts. The Paf Group of Finland, running the internet gambling company, offers paybacks to its loyal customers who spend at least $171.40 on its site but are certified to be suffering from gambling addiction. Finnish gamblers lose an average of $553 per adult.
