Contrary to rumours out there, you CAN gamble in Singapore. The experience can be magnificent. To offer some more information on this subject, and to provide some context- there are four primary laws that relate to gambling in Singapore. The Common Gaming Houses Act, The Betting Act, The Private Lotteries Act and the Betting and Sweepstake Duties Act. When examining these laws, you would be led to believe that playing in Singapore is a big no-no. However, it pays to know more. The city state approved The Casino Control Act in 2006 to allow casinos in Singapore- this established a framework of licensed casinos targeted mainly at tourists- local residents were often discouraged and dissuaded from paying and playing. Entrance fees for tourists were at zero, while citizens of Singapore still have to pay a large daily fee to enter. Once inside a licensed casino, all the options are available including slots, baccarat, blackjack and roulette.
Because there is no proper license-issuing framework in place, legal online casinos do not actually exist in Singapore. However, all legal experts agree that it is not illegal to gamble from foreign sites in one’s own home- so residents of Singapore take full advantage of this and, in turn, foreign casinos have geared a whole collection of online casinos to the Singapore market- offering SGD currency and Chinese and Mala translation/gaming options.
A massive plus of online casino in Singapore is the strong internet available there. This means you can play all the games with ultimate 3D real money games, graphics are breathe taking and there is practically zero waiting time for games to load.
