Self-exclusion system for non-casino gambling

SINGAPORE residents can now apply to voluntarily exclude themselves from selected non-casino gambling venues with the launch of a centralised self-exclusion system.

Those who want to avoid using their phone betting accounts with Singapore Pools and Singapore Turf Club or who want to stay away from the jackpot rooms in social clubs - as well as the casinos - will need only their SingPass to make one application online, instead of at separate venues.

The Responsible Gambling Forum (RGF) launched the centralised system yesterday at the start of Responsible Gambling Awareness Week.
