SINGAPORE : People who are bankrupt will not be allowed to enter the future casinos in Singapore.

Recipients of Public Assistance or Special Grant are also barred from the casinos.

These two groups are excluded under the "Third Party Exclusion" in the Casino Control Act (2006).

This means that about 28,000 people are expected to be excluded from the casinos under the "Third Party Exclusion".

This was announced by the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) on Tuesday.

MCYS is currently working with the National Council on Problem Gambling on the regulations and procedures to administer the "Third Party Exclusion".

There are altogether three types of exclusion orders.

Besides the "Third Party Exclusion", the other two types of exclusions from the casinos are Self-Exclusion and Family Exclusion. - CNA/ms
