The gambling industry has started to develop in Singapore during the last few years as a response to the global trends of gaming activities. However, the Singapore authorities have been preoccupied to provide optimum conditions for gaming operators from the first establishments or casinos, lotteries and other gambling facilities. Considering online gambling has become one of the most prolific industries, the Singapore Casino Regulatory Authority has started implementing laws and regulations to shield legitimate companies from illegal operators.
