  "account": "The Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA) has imposed a total of $275,000 in fines on Singapore Pools, Marina Bay Sands (MBS), and Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) for non-compliance with regulations. Singapore Pools inadvertently permitted a self-excluded individual to place bets, while MBS and RWS violated the Casino Control (Advertising) Regulations by failing to properly regulate gaming promotions. Singapore Pools and MBS received identical fines of $100,000 each, while RWS was fined $75,000 for different instances of non-compliance. The penalties were discovered through self-reporting by Singapore Pools and investigations by the GRA. The AGO also flagged multiple breaches and lapses by these organizations between 2023 and 2025, which are separate from the enforcement actions mentioned in the GRA's report.",
