The religious, who earlier opposed Singapore’s newest online betting policy, is finally close in attaining nirvana after a dialogue with the government.

While they still have some reservations, members of the National Council of Churches of Singapore (NCCS) has finally acknowledged that the government’s decision to allow online betting is the best approach to protect its citizens that are drawn to numerous gambling websites.

The NCCS, which represents more than 250 churches, even described the government’s group as a “judgment call.”

“Given the data on the current remote gambling landscape, the Government deems this to be the best approach to mitigate driving remote gambling activities underground and exacerbating law and order concerns,” the group said, according to The Strait Times.
