There are reports that the authorities are looking into banning sites that use circumvention software, such as VPNs.
Singapore's anti-online gambling laws are very strict, as they can ban foreign operators and bank transactions. All of the risks are up for the players to take, as they can get fines of up to $5,000 and/or 6 months in prison if caught. Casino operators that are possessing a special license or are specifically legalized by other legislative documents are the only ones to be excluded from this legislation.ĭespite the status of illegal online gambling in Singapore, many international working sites are prepared to accept all the interested players from the island city-state, as it isn’t illegal for them to provide this kind of activity.
On the other hand, in 2014, legislation titled the Remote Gambling Bill made all internet gambling, including live casinos, illegal in Singapore. Casino gambling in Singapore was banned until 2005 when the Singapore government decided to legalize casino gambling.
