Singapore Pools, a legal gaming operator wholly-owned by the Tote Board, contributes its profits back into fund charitable donations and worthy causes in Singapore. Over its 50 year existence, this company has donated an astounding S$9 billion towards charity initiatives and community development programmes.
Over time, Singapore Lotteries’ roster of products has expanded steadily to provide Singaporeans with safe and responsible gaming experiences. Their flagship product, Toto, a 6-out-of-49 state lottery game launched in 1968, remains popular today; other key products include Singapore Sweep (first launched in 1969), 4D launched in 1986 and sports betting initially covering football then motorsport and horse racing became available games starting 1999.
Singapore Pools has made strides towards encouraging responsible gambling and combatting problem gambling in recent years, by reaching out to the public through regular public awareness programmes and working closely with National Crime Prevention Council campaigns against illegal gambling activities.
Established its own Responsible Gaming Council and implemented a comprehensive Framework. Further, they employ a dedicated team of Responsible Gaming Ambassadors as well as training programmes designed to teach staff how to recognize and respond to signs of gambling problems. Furthermore, they have achieved certification under World Lottery Association’s Framework at Level 4.
Singapore Pools will remain a responsible and trusted gaming operator throughout 2018, regardless of the uncertain economy. They remain dedicated to building trust through innovation and customer service; making significant headway by launching an enhanced betting platform, improving digital experience of mobile app, deploying more self-service terminals to reduce waiting time etc.
Another notable accomplishment was the launch of iTOTO and Group TOTO in December, enabling bettors to pool their winnings through cashless transactions and furthering the organization’s vision of being a “digital first” company. Now available across Singapore Pools outlets (both physical and online), bettors can share winnings via these two apps.
Singapore Pools’ online sportsbook offers an exciting range of events with competitive odds for betting on pre-match and live sporting events as well as TOTO and 4D gaming products. However, no welcome bonuses or promotional offers apply; additionally new bettors will need to validate their account via video call, or at one of Singapore Pools branches with NRIC/FIN documents within three days – which could take as much as three days before betting can begin!
