Singapore Govt to introduce third-party casino exclusions

 

Singapore’s Acting Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports Chan Chun Sing said in Parliament on Friday that local gamblers need more help should they fall into problems with gambling, one of those groups being low-income  gamblers.

Mr Chan said: “There is a need to protect these Singaporeans and their families from the potential harm of hard gambling.”

“We are looking into targeted measures to protect the financially vulnerable and introducing “circuit breakers” for local frequent casino gamblers.

“One part of this will be extending third-party casino exclusions to more groups receiving ComCare assistance.

“For other financially vulnerable groups, we are now studying with relevant agencies whether to extend exclusion coverage to them.

“We will finalise the details within the next few months.”
