Singapore police arrested 11 people (nine men and two women) on Sunday for allegedly offering unauthorized remote gambling services.

The Criminal Investigation Department launched simultaneous raids at Balestier, Hougang, Tiong Bahru, Tanjong Pagar, Newton and Woodlands. Officers seized SGD215,000 cash plus computers, mobile phones, betting records and bank transaction record booklets.

Preliminary investigations show that the suspects may have received SGD3 million illegal bets in the past weeks.

This is the first syndicate that will undergo investigation after the Remote Gambling Act was implemented in February, blocking unauthorized online gambling sites such as IBCBet, SBOBet and MaxBET.
