Singapore regulator sends censure letter to Resorts World
Singapore’s Gambling Regulatory Authority has sent a Letter of Censure to Resorts World Sentosa, accusing the operator of failing to implement internal controls required by the regulator.
The regulator chose to send a letter of censure and not impose a fine, which could mean that it was viewed as a light administrative breach for failing to keep up necessary risk or operational safeguards. The enforcement decision was revealed in the regulator’s latest update for the financial year ending March 2026.
Prior to this, Resorts World Sentosa was fined $58,700 back in 2025 for failing to offer casino promotions based on the authority’s requirements under Regulation 3 of the Casino Control Advertising Regulations 2010.
The regulator hasn’t yet shared any details about the breach or the exact internal control, and hasn’t publicly announced the specific failure that led to the censure.
The censure letter comes at a difficult time for Resorts World, as the company reported a 3% revenue decline and a 24% decrease in adjusted EBITDA, while market share fell to 20% in the first quarter of 2026.
Resorts World Sentosa is only one of the two integrated casino resorts in Singapore, sharing the market with Marina Bay Sands, and currently, the Genting Singapore-operated venue is also in the process of a $5 billion transformation project to improve its facilities.
