It should be letter from NCPG rather than CRA. As far as I am aware, there is no statutory requirement for anyone to attend such sessions. They will however word it in such a way to make it sound like it is mandatory. If you get the letter I would suggest you give them a call and ask them under which section of the Casino Control Act that they are acting under. If they cannot answer you, you can safely ignore the letter.

I heard one of the Island delight regular initial ignored the letter but he received a REMINDER and insisted him to visit the office in person.
Anyone who receives the letter either from NCPG or CRA must reply at once, if reminder is send, he/she has to visit their office at SLF building. For those who have no outstanding bad debts or loan do not have to worry.

As i said, I am not aware of any statutory requirement to attend such sessions. I might of course be mistaken which is why I said the safe thing to do would be to ask the officer under which section of the Casino Control Act that they are invoking. Unless it is written in the act, they have no power to compel you to attend the session.

Important to note that the letter/reminder will be written in such a way so as to give the impression you must attend. If it is really required by law, the Civil Service is required to quote the relevant section to the respondent so that it is clear that it is not an option but a mandatory requirement under the law.

Further to the earlier posting, you can check out the current NCPG website. Other than the well-known Voluntary and Family exclusions, there is also a Third Party exclusion. The following is from the NCPG site:

Third-Party Visit Limit
If you are a frequent local casino patron who is deemed to be financially vulnerable, a limit may be placed on your visits to the casino under Third-Party Visit Limit.

There is no need to apply for Third-Party Visit Limit. To contest or revoke a Third-Party Visit Limit, call NCPG at 6354-8154.

You will be required to submit supporting documents to prove your case and will be given reasonable opportunity to object to the proposed visit limit. The final decision to impose a Third-Party Visit Limit lies with NCPG.

http://www.ncpg.org.sg/draw-the-line/visit-limit-measures.html

3RD PARTY EXCLUSION
The Third-Party Exclusion will automatically exclude undischarged bankrupts, and people receiving financial aid from the Government of Singapore, from entering the casinos in Singapore. There is no need to apply for this exclusion.

http://www.ncpg.org.sg/draw-the-line/casino-exclusion-measures.html

The persons who received the letter is probably facing some financial difficulty. It is not stated in NCPG site how a person is deemed to be financially vulnerable. The Income Tax Act prohibits IRAS from giving your tax returns to NCPG. A more likely reason would be a database matching of individuals who applied to the government for some kind of financial assistance or is facing bankruptcy proceedings.

Other than that, another possible reason is that someone in their family objects to their gambling habit and applied for a family exclusion with NCPG.

Given your financial status and the fact that no one in your family objects to your habit, it is unlikely you will be receiving a letter from NCPG anytime soon.

I got your point.
Huh??? That means it is possible that those regular uncles and aunties at Island delight may probably facing some financial difficulty or someone in their family objects to their gambling habit lor !?

 

[aurvandil]

Those are the only 2 reasons for NCPG to send a letter to "lim kopi". You should realize that you are the exception rather than the norm. Most people cannot afford to lose $1k to $2k regularly at the casino. For those that can for a short while, their family would probably be raising hell because of their gambling habit. The people who complained about getting the letters probably wanted to "save face" and didn't tell the whole story.

Its possible. I saw a few very interesting characters in my "not so regular" visits. Every time I will see some familiar faces who are just hanging around and not really playing. Some Ah peks and some Ah sohs.
Also one particularly interesting one is a guy who always wear the same pull over and walked around like a supervisor - I have never seen him play before. There is also a lady version of this character (long hair and always in short denim). She will walk everywhere. I bumped into her in Orchid, in GR, in ID and in PS. I have never seen her play. Just walking around.

I dont go everyday but whenever I was there, I will definitely meet these few people. I am very puzzle why these people go to the casino, and just walked around. Might as well find something better to do. Initially, I suspect these 2 of them are runners for the Chinese Syndicates. But I have never seen them interacting....unless they "work" for other group.....???? Strange.:*:

Casino are the biggest washing machine for money laundering. If you are not working and have tons of money to gamble. They would probably suspect you of washing money for others unless u are rich by nature like Bro Kia....

 

[bearbearfury]

Does anyone knows why the clubs slots line is always so expensive like$0 .50 and so few lines available?

Bro kia will again tell us that he work extra hard than us in order to have this status

 

[highroller777]

Bro, Maxims card no big deal.

Me only small timer slots play from 50-500credits bets, or table games few hundreds per bet.

Anyway, my advise is not to chase after card status. I rather have no card and win $ from the casino.

This is the amount you have to roll or churn per year if you play slots for eg.

maxims gold 2250points x $150 = $337,500; for platinum it's double i.e. $675,000; once you reach plat (or 3yrs with rws former gold), the following year u will be invited to crockford's

Yes. You noticed her too? Non-stop walking everywhere. At least you see the PRC syndicate "working", but not this lady nor the other (tall) bespectacled man. I am always very curious and sometime, I really have the urge to ask them....

 

[highroller777]

I also noticed the denim shorts girl, w long hair around 30-40's? The man I will scout for him. There's also one lady around 50-60s in orchid always wear spaghetti strap dress, heavy make up small eyes also seldom play (if she plays it will b roulette), always talk to hosts, other aunties and just watch.

Bro that lady just renew her 1 year with rws..she did play slots but only aim at aruza slots with low rescuce spin left...Heard from her that most of the time she lose few hundreds everyday therefor she play with control.BTW she is not working her husband feed her well

 

[aurvandil]

This is a valid strategy. In general if the rescue spin counter is under 300, it is worthwhile to sit down and play. You should start with min bet and slowly increase your bet. A rough gauge is to increase to half the max bet when the counter reaches 200 and max bet when the counter gets to 100. If you play this way, good chance to get a positive expectations games.

For some of the newer azure games, there is now an option to switch off the rescue spin. If you are playing on an older machine with no option to switch off the rescue spin. best strategy is to always to play until you hit a feature and STOP immediately. If you hit a dry spell and reach 300 without a rescue spin, press on with the earlier strategy of slowly increasing your bet as the counter draws down to 0.

Thanks for the update. She must be very discipline to be able to go everyday and just eyeing the low rescue spin Aruze. She is fortunate to have her husband feeding her well

Cheers and good luck to all.
