Unlawful Remote Gambling Activities
It is unlawful for any person to provide unlicensed remote gambling services in or from Singapore, or from outside Singapore to persons situated in Singapore. Singapore Pools (Private) Limited is the only operator licensed by GRA to provide remote gambling services.
With effect from 1 January 2025, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) has taken over the functions of blocking access to unlawful remote gambling services, the advertising of such services and payment transactions. If you encounter any unlawful remote gambling websites or applications, or advertisements or promotion of remote gambling services, you may report to SPF via I-Witness.
It is also an offence for any person in Singapore to participate in unlicensed remote gambling activities. If found guilty, an individual is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or to both.
Anyone who conducts unlawful gambling shall be liable on conviction to a fine of up to $500,000 and imprisonment of up to 7 years, and for repeat offenders, a fine of up to $700,000 and imprisonment of up to 10 years.
