Singapore Pools was established on 23 May 1968 as a state-owned lottery operator under the Tote Board, an arm of the Ministry of Finance and is legally operating as gambling operator in Singapore. While its business model may be unique, its limited game selection and inherent risks present unique challenges that need to be managed responsibly by Singapore Pools.
Singapore Pools goes beyond providing legal betting avenues to the public by supporting charitable and social causes. For example, it contributes to community projects by giving out grants and charity funds to schools, sports teams, arts groups, hospitals, etc. As an experienced company it has earned worldwide renown as a world-class responsible gaming operator.
As such, it has become one of the highest valued companies in the country. Due to their commitment to responsible gaming and contribution to society, they have become a hallmark of national culture. Their example demonstrates how government-owned businesses can provide safe gambling platforms that meet people’s expectations.
Singapore Pools has expanded beyond traditional counter-service and in-person customer touchpoints by gradually rolling out digital channels that enable customers to sign up, manage accounts and bet online. As a result, its online sales and conversion rates have significantly increased; additionally, Singapore Pools was the first company in Asia to launch an online casino on their website.
Singapore Pools’ Toto product was by far its most popular offering in 2018/19 financial year, accounting for over 80% of revenue. Other popular offerings are 4D, Scratchit and Singapore Sweep which all use fair gaming techniques designed by World Lottery Association to ensure that prizes won are genuine.
Furthermore, the company provides free mobile apps for iOS and Android devices which can be easily downloaded via the official website. These user-friendly applications allow users to track winning numbers quickly as well as access their account balance or make deposits or withdrawals from their bank account instantly.
Singapore Pools offers an expansive sports betting portfolio, covering soccer and motor racing markets spanning English, Italian and Spanish football leagues as well as races from around the globe.
