Around 56% of Singaporean adults think online gambling should not be allowed, making it the fourth most-opposed market to online gambling, according to a report by YouGov.

The survey results in Singapore were higher than the global average of 46%. The Lion City trailed behind Spain and India which were both at 57%, and China at 56%.

Amongst those surveyed, the older generations of Singapore were more opposed to online gambling with 68% of Baby Boomers or those born between 1946 to 1964 thinking it should not be allowed, followed by Gen Xers at 62%.

Only 44% of Millennials and 45% of Gen Zs do not agree with online gambling.

Overall, 25% find the current rules and regulations on online gambling to be too strict, whilst 40% said they were not too strict, and 36% were undecided.

Based on age brackets, 28% of Gen Zs and Gen Xers most likely claimed that the rules were strict, and 44% of Millennials claimed the opposite. Around 43% of Baby Boomers were unsure.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
