Though the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) allows foreign workers to self-exclude themselves from casinos in Singapore, you can’t apply on their behalf. Instead, you can educate your workers on the dangers of gambling and encourage them to apply for casino self-exclusion to protect themselves.
The council is chaired by Lim Hock San and has 19 members.
One of the main tasks of NCPG is to promote public awareness on problem gambling. In January 2006, a TV series Bet Your Life was launched to examine problem gambling and its effects on families and society.[1] A fund of S$150,000 was also set aside for public education programmes initiated by voluntary welfare organisations.
