Singapore stands as the world's second-biggest gambling nation, even with some of the toughest poker regulations anywhere. The Remote Gambling Act of 2014 hits online poker players with steep SG$5,000 fines and possible jail time. Operators can face even bigger penalties up to SG$500,000.
The poker scene in our region keeps growing despite these restrictions. Players have just two legal options for live poker tables - Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa. This limited access drives many to look for online alternatives. The Gambling Control Act of 2022 has set new rules for Singapore's online poker scene, but no poker sites have local licenses yet.
