Two junket licenses approved for Resorts World Sentosa, 12 others rejected

The management of Genting Singapore is probably surprised by joy.

The Casino Regulatory Authority (CRA) has approved junket licenses for two operators to work with Resorts World Sentosa (RWS).The CRA has rejected 12 other applications.

These junkets, or international market agents (IMAs), can extend credit to high-rollers or organize trips for them to play at RWS in exchange for commissions.

Carey Wong of OCBC notes: “We believe that the move is generally positive for Genting Singapore (GS), as it will bring a new source of high net-work players into its casino here,”

“Secondly, the move should also lead to an improvement in GS’ credit risk,” she adds.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
