The official Gambling Regulatory Authority of Singapore (GRA) has issued a three-year extension to the casino license of Marina Bay Sands.
Effective from 26 April 2025, the license renewal allows the iconic Marina Bay Sands resort to continue its operations without interruption.
The decision comes after a thorough evaluation of the operations and governance of the casino, where, according to the GRA, Marina Bay Sands met all requirements under Section 45 of the Casino Control Act 2006, demonstrating full compliance with Singapore’s regulatory standards.
Owned by one of biggest casino brands and operators on the planet, Las Vegas Sands, the Marina Bay Sands complex remains an integral part of Singapore’s tourism and entertainment landscape.
The Gambling Regulatory Authority said that the licence renewal of the Marina Bay Sands highlights the casino’s commitment to maintaining high operational standards within the gaming landscape in Singapore.
In addition to its opulence and luxury, the resort’s license extension also ensures that Marina Bay Sands continues to offer a safe and regulated environment for its guests, meeting all legal and technical requirements.
What is particularly interesting is that this license renewal comes as the Las Vegas Sands is gearing up to begin a $1 billion expansion of the Marina Bay Sands resort in partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board.
From here, construction is scheduled to begin on 8 July 2025, following the company’s recent financial report, which saw the Marina Bay Sands posting a total revenue of $11.3 billion (approximately £9.15 billion) for the 2024 fiscal year.
