SINGAPORE – The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is expected to share the details of
upcoming blind box regulations
around mid-2026.
These regulations aim to mitigate the gambling inducement risk of blind boxes, including the potential for such products to induce consumers to spend excessively, said Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam.
Additional measures, such as age-based restrictions and probability disclosure, will be considered subsequently, as more time is needed to study them, he said in a written reply to a parliamentary question from Ms Hazlina Abdul Halim (East Coast GRC) on March 2.
Blind boxes refer to sealed packages containing items not made known to the buyer at the point of purchase.
