Singapore tightly restricts remote gambling. The Gambling Regulatory Authority states that Singapore Pools is the only operator licensed to provide remote gambling services. Offshore casinos and sportsbooks are not legal merely because they are accessible or accept Singapore payments. This guide explains how to identify the authorised service, avoid scams and use responsible-gambling safeguards.

Remote gambling in Singapore

The Gambling Control Act 2022 and GRA oversight restrict remote gambling. Singapore Pools holds the relevant licence for betting, gaming and lotteries and is the only operator licensed by GRA to provide remote gambling services. Private offshore casinos, mirror sites and foreign sportsbooks are not covered by that licence.

Verify the channel

  • Use only the official Singapore Pools website or app identified by the operator.
  • Check the domain carefully; avoid look-alikes and sideloaded APK files.
  • Never treat SGD support, PayNow instructions or a local phone number as proof of licensing.
  • Ignore fixed-match tips and guaranteed-return groups.

Payments and fraud

Do not send money to agents or personal accounts. Keep receipts, account IDs and messages. GRA warns that officials will not ask for bank-login details or transfers by phone. Contact the bank immediately if fraud is suspected and use Singapore’s reporting channels.

Responsible gambling

Set strict time and spending limits, never borrow and do not chase losses. Use operator controls, exclusion and National Council on Problem Gambling support when needed.
