by Chitrak Shah Chitrak Shah
One of the emerging markets of gambling is the online casino in Singapore despite official restrictions imposed by the authorities.

Despite the restrictions imposed on the gambling online in respect of players in Singapore by the authorities online casino in Singapore is emerging as one of the gambling markets in the entire world. Till the year 2005 gambling in any form was prohibited in Singapore. That year it was announced that two casinos would be established at Marina Bayfront and at Sentosa and this move was supposed to give a boost to the tourism sector in the economy.

The final Nod to Online Casino in Singapore

Final nod to the establishment of online casino Singapore came in the year 2006 with the coming into force of the Casino Control Bill. Though Singapore does not have a long standing heritage of online casino games, this gave a boost to the gambling industry there and the market evolved greatly in recent years and became one of the leading gambling markets across the globe. The annual revenue in the gambling zone in Singapore exceeds $6 billion.

Law of the Land for Online Casino Singapore

According to the existing law of the land in Singapore the players playing any gambling game including those involved in 4D online betting Singapore have to pay entrance feeds depending on their nationalities. Residents of Singapore have to pay greater fees because the authorities wanted to discourage gambling in Singapore.

Innovative Approach of Authorities

Online casino in Singapore has become a flourishing industry because of the innovative approach of the authorities towards both traditional as well as online gambling in the country. They have become the leader in taking such innovative approach and have become inspiration for many other Asian countries.

Different Approach for SportsBook Betting

In addition; the authorities also took a different approach to online sportsbook betting despite the fact that it also forms a type of online gambling and sponsored by online casino Singapore. The betting has been allowed at local and well as global levels and restrictions are very few. While the bettors can directly bet on the two authorized betting sites there is no prohibition on approaching the foreign bookers through these sites for sportsbook betting. In result the sportsbook betting has become fairly widespread in Singapore.

The 4 Tier Legislations in Singapore

So far as the online casino games and sportsbook betting in Singapore is concerned the same are guided by 4 sets of laws. It reminds one about the popular 4D online betting Singapore. The laws include The Private Lotteries Act 1952 that controls the activities as well as the taxes relating to private lotteries. Bookmakers and casinos have to comply with the provisions of the Betting Act 1960. The Common Gaming Houses Act 1961 prohibits spreading and sponsoring of lottery games. Finally; the Casino Control Act of 2005 legalized online gambling in Singapore with certain restrictions.

With more and more foreign based bookmakers opting to accept Singapore dollars for casino gaming it is no wonder that the online casino in Singapore is fast turning into an emerging market.
