The operating entity of the Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) casino complex, one half of Singapore’s casino duopoly, has in financial year 2026 been issued with a “letter of censure”, according to an announcement on the website of the city-state’s Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA).
The censure letter to Resorts World at Sentosa Pte Ltd was for “failure to implement a specified internal control approved by the authority,” per the statement. It related to Singapore’s Casino Control (Internal Controls) Regulations 2013.
The letter was the only GRA enforcement action listed on its website for the 12-month period ended March 2026.
GGRAsia has approached GRA seeking clarification on the nature of the failure as asserted by the authority.
Per the GRA website, in the prior financial year – i.e., 2025 – GRA issued a total of SGD275,000 (US$215,356 currently) in financial penalties shared between three gaming operators.
There were SGD100,000 individual penalties for Marina Bay Sands Pte Ltd, operator of the Marina Bay Sands casino resort; and Singapore Pools (Private) Limited, the only legal lottery and sports betting operator in Singapore.
Resorts World at Sentosa Pte had in financial-year 2025 a SGD75,000 penalty under Regulation 3 of the Casino Control (Advertising) Regulations 2010, for “failure to carry out or offer, or cause to be carried out or offered, casino promotions, in accordance with the approval by the authority”.
