Singapore Sweep gets a major makeover
Casino Control Bill 2006 |
|
To discourage locals from developing into problem gamblers,
Section 116 of the Bill shall require the casino operators to
collect an entry levy from Singapore Citizens and Permanent
Residents for every consecutive 24 hours in the casinos or
$2,000 for an annual membership. |
| This levy
will also underscore the message that gambling is an expense
and not a means to get rich... |
| Section 108
of the Bill shall prohibit casino and junket operators from
extending credit to Singapore Citizens and Permanent
Residents, unless they maintain a credit balance of at least
$100,000 with the casino operator at the start of their gaming
which would qualify them as premium players. |
| Automated
Teller Machines or ATMs shall be prohibited within the casinos
under Section 109 of the Bill so that patrons will not have
easy access to their savings accounts to gamble continuously. |
| Minors are
also another potentially vulnerable group who may fall prey to
the glamour of the casino, without realising the possible
dangers of gambling. Sections 130 to 137 of the Bill will
prohibit persons below the age of 21 years from entering the
casinos... |

1995 to almost 6,000 cases in 2004. |

"In some instances, parties who did not
borrow money were also harassed; for example, new occupants of dwellings
that were formerly occupied by debtors and people who had lost or
misplaced their identity cards. |

"In addition, the number of arrests made in
harassment cases more than doubled from 123 arrests in 2003 to 284
arrests in 2004..." |

"...We cannot stand still. The whole region is on the
move. If we do not change, where will we be in 20 years’ time? Losing our
appeal to tourists is the lesser problem. But if we become a backwater, just
one of many ordinary cities in Asia, instead of being a cosmopolitan hub of
the region, then many good jobs will be lost, and all Singaporeans will
suffer. We cannot afford that..." |

Pools plans to introduce betting on the football World Cup and the
English Premier League (EPL) in May 2002. For the month of the
World Cup, from May 31 to June 30, in South Korea and Japan,
Singapore Pools hopes to handle S$200 million worth of bets. It
also hopes to get up to S$500 million for one EPL season, from
August to May. In contrast, it collects about S$100 million a year
in bets on Score!, the betting game based on the domestic S-League
matches. (Straits

Chief
Justice YONG Pung How has dismissed an appeal by Sydney casino
Star City against a ruling preventing it from recovering a
A$194,840 (S$185,877) debt from a Singaporean businessman.
"The courts of justice must remain out of bounds to claims
for money won upon wages, however cleverly or covertly
disguised," he said. CJ YONG noted in a written ruling that
the Civil Law Act barred any attempt to recover gambling debts. He
then reiterated that the courts should not, as a matter of
principle and public policy, act as a gambling-debt collector for
foreign casinos. (Straits

Last
year, the Singapore Turf Club collected S$1.99 billion from the
races and S$1.17 billion from 4-D. Singapore Pools declined to
release their sales figures. The takings from the Turf Club and
Singapore Pools increased from S$4.2 billion in 1995 to S$5
billion in 1996 and S$5.5 billion in 1997. In recession-hit 1998,
punters parted with S$5.5 billion.(Straits

gobbled up more than S$600 million in small change in the last
financial year. This is about S$100 million more than they managed
four years ago, according to the Inland Revenue Authority of
Singapore (Iras) which keeps tabs on the take. There are now about
1,900 jackpot or fruit machines in about 110 private clubs,
associations and societies here. A hefty 41.25 per cent of the
machines' total takings, excluding GST, goes into government
coffers. To operate a fruit machine, organisations need to apply
for a permit from Iras's private-lottery unit.(Straits

According
to the latest figures from the Inland Revenue Authority of
Singapore (IRAS), tax collection for the first five months of the
year rose 7 per cent to S$7.85 billion compared to a year ago.
Compared to the previous year's increase of 35 per cent to S$7.3
billion over the same period, the latest jump in tax dollars
represents a sharp slowdown. GST collections declined 14 per cent,
while stamp duty collections plunged 42 per cent, reflecting the
sluggish stock market and lifeless property sector. Tax income
from betting rose 24 per cent to S$740 million. Income tax
revenue rose a modest 9 per cent to nearly S$4.8 billion. Property
tax collections surged 66 per cent to cross the S$1 billion mark
for the first five months of the year.(Straits
