2.7 Visit Limit (Singapore)

Singapore — Regulatory/Social Safeguards

A Visit Limit in Singapore is a less restrictive alternative to a full exclusion order, limiting the number of times a person can enter a casino within a specified period. Visit Limits are typically applied to individuals who demonstrate problematic gambling behavior but are not considered financially distressed. A Family Visit Limit, introduced in recent amendments, can be applied by family members to limit casino visits. As of 2024, about five individuals breach their Family Visit Limit annually.

In practice

The 2024 Casino Control Amendment Bill made breach of a Family Visit Limit a criminal offense for the first time, closing a loophole in the social safeguards framework.
