Authorities say rules drafted by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Gambling Regulatory Authority aim to mitigate gambling inducement risks linked to randomised collectable products.
Singapore.- The government of Singapore will introduce regulations covering trading card packs as part of a framework for blind box products. The move designed to manage gambling-related risks within the retail collectables market.
In statements to local media, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) confirmed that it is drafting regulations in consultation with the Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA). The new rules will govern the conditions under which blind boxes, including trading card packs, may be offered.
Blind boxes are sealed packages containing items not disclosed at the point of purchase, typically collectables such as figurines, toys and trading cards drawn from a defined series. While there are currently no laws in Singapore explicitly for blind boxes, certain lower-risk gambling products are permitted under class licence regimes under the Gambling Control Act. Mystery boxes, which contain a broader and undefined range of items, are not allowed and are set to be regulated separately through class licences issued by the GRA.
Member of Parliament Dennis Tan has questioned whether the government would mandate standardised disclosure of odds and probability ranges for “gacha”-style products. Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam indicated that proposals for “mandatory and standardised odds and probability disclosure” would be among the points considered in the drafting process.
