Announced by the island state’s Second Minister for Home Affairs, Trade and Industry, S Iswaran, at the opening of the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR) 2012 conference on Sunday, the agreements will pave the way for the nation’s Casino Regulatory Authority to begin closer cooperation in the field of gaming regulation with the two jurisdictions.
“The work of the IAGR is a good example of how cooperation among regulators has created substantive benefits for member countries,” said Iswaran.
“As a global network of international gaming regulators, IAGR serves as an excellent platform for its members to learn and exchange knowledge.”
“The IAGR community welcomed Singapore, then a fledging casino jurisdiction, into its fold. IAGR has been most helpful to the Casino Regulatory Authority in its regulatory journey. In this spirit of regulatory co-operation, I am also happy to note that the Casino Regulatory Authority will be signing memoranda of understanding with its counterparts from Alderney and Pennsylvania later today.”
