SINGAPORE: The government is studying measures that can be taken against online gambling, and to restrict access to -- as well as patronage of -- online gambling platforms. It is working with industry experts to study issues and learn from other jurisdictions to formulate a strategy.

The study is expected to be concluded by the end of 2013.

Second Minister for Home Affairs S Iswaran revealed this at the Casino Regulatory Authority's (CRA) workplan on Friday.

He said: "The global online gambling industry, estimated at US$400 billion in 2011, is expected to grow at an annual rate of nine per cent, with the Asian market representing a significant growth opportunity.

"Online gambling is a new and potentially more addictive form of gambling, with greater access to the young and vulnerable. These risks will likely be magnified as the technology supporting online gambling further evolves."

Mr Iswaran, who is also a Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, noted that there are concerns within the Singapore community over social risks associated with online gambling as it is highly accessible, and that the government shares these concerns.

Separately, CRA noted that the incidence of crime in the casinos here is under control.

Over the past three years, crime reported in the casinos made up less than one per cent of overall crime in Singapore.

Since 2010, the casinos have detected and stopped more than 28,000 attempts by minors, and some 15,000 attempts by excluded persons, to enter the casinos.

The CRA will also work with the Home Team Behavioural Sciences Centre to examine the psychological profile of local casino gamblers to develop a more nuanced understanding of gaming behaviour.

Precisely, shedding crocodile tears. And as if they are doing a good job preventing crimes and people from getting into the casinos.

Gambling, whether online or not, destroy families. Period.

Indeed. One classic example is the raising of cigarette prices to 'discourage smoking'.

Smokers will continue to smoke... it is a fairly price inelastic demand.

If the PAP govt really wanted to help people quit smoking, it should have subsidized nicotine patches or nicotine sprays instead.
But no, spending money is too much work. :rolleyes:

So much for showing 'concern' for smokers' health. :rolleyes:

What do you call someone who takes and takes but never gives anything back?
A parasite.

These dens of vice should be shut down immediately.

Gambling is only a vice when the govt is not the house/banker.

People who never said anything publicly when the casinos were introduced but start shedding tears and claim they were against it after they step down?

Open 2 big casinos MBS and RWS - OK.Got huge tax revenues.What social problems ? Money more important.Income for MIW.U sinkees die your problem.

Online casino - Not OK.NO tax revenue.Must ask the scholar civil servants to bangtheir heads to think of of ways to tax the online gamblers.

It's all about taxing the people to extract more money for the MIW.It's nothing to do about social impact .
Wake up Stupid Sinkees !
KNNCCB to MIW !!!

What is wrong with that?

The regime here knows everyone recognised them as fucking liars and hypocrites in the first place.
Doing a two face thing for them will not hurt them at all

Sinkies knew that of them and still voted and voted for them
Knowing to do so will get them screwed and fucked
And seeing their kids losing to foreign trash in places in local uni here
Not that it matters as jobs will be given to foreign trash before them

vote all those bastards out in 2016

The worse kind of gambling is to destroy all our reserves through overseas toxic investment, but that woman is using the money that is not hers. Worse than Marcus's wife who only bought shoes.
