Problem-gambling safeguards may target up to 6,000 S'poreansUpdated Jul 07, 2012

SINGAPORE - The government said proposed measures, like setting casino visit limits, to protect the financially vulnerable from problem gambling may target some 4,000 to 6,000 Singaporeans.

And these may include the better-off who are at risk of gambling addiction.

The new measures are slated to kick in by June 2013.

Authorities will work with casino operators to identify those at risk of problem gambling.

These individuals will then be assessed to see if their visits to casinos should be limited.
