About us
NewCasinoRank reviews new online casinos and lists their licence, founding year, payment methods, studios and welcome offer. We earn a commission from some casinos; it does not change our checks. See how we rank and how we review.
The law in Singapore
Singapore licenses no online casinos, and gambling with an unlawful remote operator is an offence under the Gambling Control Act 2022, with a fine of up to S$10,000, up to six months in prison, or both.
The minimum age for gambling in Singapore is 21.
Choosing a casino
- Check the licence on the regulator's register.
- Read the withdrawal terms.
- Prefer Singapore dollar accounts.
- Test a small withdrawal first.
Singapore gambling law at a glance
Singapore's remote gambling rules sit in the Gambling Control Act 2022. Singapore cites the Act as Act 15 of 2022. The Act came into force on 2022-08-01.
Singapore sets the minimum age for online gambling at 21. Singapore's rules apply to the player as well as the operator, so a casino that accepts your registration is not proof that the play is lawful for you.
What makes a casino new
A new casino is a brand that has operated for a short time. On this site that means a casino founded this year or in the two years before. The founding year appears on every review, so you can check the rule against the casino.
A new casino has fewer player reports than an older brand. That is why the licence, the withdrawal terms and the payment methods carry more weight in our checks than a polished design does. A young casino can run well, but you have less history to judge it by.
How welcome bonus terms decide value
A welcome bonus is a deposit match, free spins or both. Its value depends on the wagering rule, which sets how many times you must stake the bonus before you can withdraw winnings. A lower multiplier is easier to clear.
Game weighting changes the maths. Slots often count in full towards wagering, while table games may count for a small share or not at all. Some casinos also cap the winnings you can take from free spins. No wagering bonuses at new casinos remove the multiplier, but they usually pay a smaller amount.
Deposits, withdrawals and identity checks
A new casino lists its payment methods in the cashier and its terms. Deposit and withdrawal methods are not always the same, so check both lists. Withdrawal limits and processing times are set by the casino and the method.
Identity checks protect the casino and the player. The casino compares your documents with your account details before it releases the first payout. Submit clear documents early to avoid delay, and use the same name on the account and the payment method.
RTP, house edge and game choice
RTP describes the share of stakes a game returns over millions of rounds. House edge is the opposite figure. A game with a 96% RTP has a 4% house edge. Neither number tells you what will happen in one session.
Studios may release the same slot at several RTP settings, and a casino picks one. Check the game's help screen for the RTP the casino runs. Our guide to RTP in new online casinos explains where to find it.
Staying in control
Gambling should stay a paid form of entertainment, not a way to earn money. Set a deposit limit before you play and keep to it. Stop when the limit is reached, and do not chase losses.
