In order to prevent problem gambling, the National Council on Problem Gambling provides a helpline for players who are unable to stop their addiction or want to make sure they are not in danger of losing their money. The organisation also helps families to keep an eye on their loved ones and provide them with support.
Singapore Pools also offers family exclusion orders that can be applied if an individual becomes too involved with gambling or if their family members are at risk of developing gambling problems. Mr Chua said that these measures are designed to encourage people to play responsibly and to take care of their own finances.
