Singapore Betting Tax Revenue Up 11.9%
Singapore's betting tax collections rose 11.9% year-on-year to SG$3.6 billion ($2.84 billion) in the 2025/26 financial year, outpacing a 9.4% rise in the country's total tax revenue, according to figures from the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS).
Betting tax was the fastest-growing category in IRAS's annual comparison, accounting for 3.7% of the country's overall tax take.
A Combined, Not Split, Figure
The headline number comes with an important caveat: Singapore reports gambling duties and casino tax together in its published figures, and no breakdown between the two was provided.
That means the increase should not be read as an equivalent rise in gross gaming revenue at Singapore's two integrated resorts, Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa.

The figures emerged alongside two other Singapore-linked gaming stories this week.
Singapore's High Court blocked Venetian Macau from enforcing a $2.5 million Hong Kong casino debt judgment on public-policy grounds, underlining the legal risks around cross-border gaming credit.
Separately, three Macau operators, SJM, Melco and Sands China, pledged a combined $2.5 million to disaster relief and reconstruction efforts in Gyirong County following a mudslide.
