Online Casino Gamblers Find a Way

Singapore gambling research has proven the same conclusion that research in the United States concluded – where there is a will there is a way. Although the U.S. and Singapore both have banned foreign online casinos, citizens are finding a way to gamble anyway. The internet is an extremely pervasive medium and even militaristic governments like Myanmar just cannot seem to effectively block certain sites and types of internet activity. Singapore has legalized only two companies in the country to offer land gambling services to Singapore citizens, but the foreign online casino gambling sites accept Singapore gamblers, so despite the legislation and regulations, the gamblers are finding ways to bet and gambling online.

Recent research on the Singapore internet gambling market indicates that online casino gambling and betting activities are increasing, and because of the restrictions on foreign bettors, the Singapore government does not receive a dime of tax revenue from the foreign gambling sites. The increase in gambling is actually quite startling – ten times the number of Singapore gamblers heading to the online casinos from just three years earlier. There is no doubting that internet gambling has increased in popularity all over the globe in the past several years, but the tenfold increase in a country with legislation banning online gambling is certainly startling.

The Ministry for Community Development Youth and Sports released the latest statistics showing that while only 0.1 percent of respondents polled in 2005 participated in some form of online casino gambling, the 2008 results indicated that roughly 1 percent of the Singapore population finds a way around restrictions on internet gambling.
