[bushtucker]

does that mean that bet365, ladbrokes, william hill, etc will be banned?

Yep, definitely and these operators will be notified of the legislation and all credit cards issued by banks will not be able to process by a certain date. Operators more often than not, will be forced to close these sinkies' accounts. Otherwise punters lose the chance of withdrawing by the cutoff date and risk the chance that the winnings can never reach SG bank accounts.

SINGAPORE - While Singapore has strict laws on gambling, these were enacted before gambling started going online. The Remote Gambling Bill was tabled in Parliament on Monday to specifically tackle the rise of online gambling.

These are the proposed changes:

Blocking:

- Access to unauthorised online gambling websites will be limited by getting Internet Service Providers to block them

- The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) can compel banks and financial institutions here to block fund transfers to or from unauthorised online gambling sites

Criminalising online gambling activities, unless exempted:

- Anyone found to advertise online gambling services here can be fined up to $20,000

- A person found to have gambled online can be fined up to $5,000 and jailed up to six months

- Agents and syndicates who helps unauthorised online gambling sites operate can be fined between $20,00 and $200,000 and be jailed up to five years

- A gambling service located overseas is similarly liable if it does not take steps to ensure its customers are not using its services in Singapore

- A person found to have invited someone under 21 to gamble online, or employs such a person to help with such a service, can be fined between $20,000 and $300,000 and jailed for up to six years.

Allow for highly-regulated online gambling:

- Licence holder must be based in Singapore

- Be not-for-profit

- Have a good track record of compliance with Singapore's laws

- Include safeguards to protect gamblers and encourage responsible gambling

Indeed. If the betting companies want to operate in Singapore, they must feed the white skunks first.

Re: PAP can set house on fire but disallow citizens to light up

Idiocy. Another bill that cannot be implemented. Reminds me of the smoking ban

Doubt they can block Bet 365, Sbobet, citibet,...... and the hundreds of betting companies in the internet.

As with prostitution and moneylending....if no licensed then they will criminalize it.
Maybe next they will leegalised drugs as long as there's money to be made.
Pappies are pure vile hypocrites.

Singapore set to ban sports betting via overseas websites

Singapore set to ban sports betting via overseas websites

Singapore plans to impose a sweeping ban on sports betting via overseas websites, but experts said that virtual private networks would erode the effectiveness of the move.

A "remote gambling" bill filed in parliament on Monday will give the government broad powers to block access to the websites as well as blocking electronic payments to their operators.

"The objectives for regulating remote gambling are to maintain law and order and protect young persons and other vulnerable persons from being harmed or exploited by remote gambling," the home affairs ministry said.

Singapore currently bans access to about 100 websites, mostly featuring pornographic, extremist and hateful content. Access to extramarital dating site Ashley Madison is also banned in the state, which is well-known for its strict social controls.

The new law will make it an offence, punishable by jail terms and fines, for Singaporeans to gamble on overseas websites, while advertisements for them on online and offline platforms will also be outlawed.

Exemptions will be granted for locally-based online gambling operators which follow strict rules and operate on a non-profit basis.

Government-linked betting firms involved in sports betting and horse racing channel proceeds to charities and social causes.

Media and technology experts say blocking overseas websites will have limited effectiveness.

"Whether it is pornography or any other kind of objectionable content, if the person is hardcore enough, he will find a way to access it," said Alfred Siew, editor of local technology website Techgoondu.

Sports betting, especially on top European soccer matches, is deeply entrenched in Singapore. Its online gambling market was estimated to be worth US$416 million, with 95 per cent of revenue headed towards overseas websites, Singapore's Straits Times said yesterday.

Those morons must failed at Maths if they claim the sg online gambling market is worth only US416 million.
