Legislating Mandatory Disclosure of Odds and Probability Ranges for Blind Box or "Gacha" Products

Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong asked the Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs whether the Government intends to legislate mandatory and standardised disclosure of odds and probability ranges for blind box or "gacha" products sold in Singapore.

Mr K Shanmugam: The Ministry of Home Affairs and the Gambling Regulatory Authority had studied this issue and have decided to introduce regulations stipulating the conditions under which blind boxes may be offered, to better manage gambling inducement risks.

The regulations are being drafted. The Member's suggestion to have mandatory and standardised odds and probability disclosure will be among the points that will be considered for the regulations.
