The Gambling Regulatory Authority has no intention of allowing cryptocurrency to be used as chips for casino gambling as it presents money laundering risk, Sun said.
Singapore will allow its two casinos to conduct cashless gaming under changes made to the Casino Control Act, but will not permit the use of cryptocurrencies, CNA reported, citing Minister of State for Home Affairs and for Social and Family Development Sun Xueling.
Examples of cashless bets include placing wagers at gaming tables or machines by drawing down virtual credits directly from cashless gaming accounts or e-wallets, Sun was quoted as saying in parliament on Sept 10.
