Singapore Pool Lotteries
Singapore Pools or Singapore Pools (Private) Limited is a state-owned lottery subsidiary company in Singapore. As a wholly owned subsidiary of the Tote Board, it is the only operator that is legally allowed to run lotteries in Singapore.
The following lotteries are run by Singapore Pool:
- TOTO which is 6 out of 49 lotto game
- The Singapore Sweep which is 7 digit pre printed sweepstakes game
- 4D lottery which is a 4 digit lottery game
- Sports betting offering football and motor racing
On 29 September 2016, the Ministry of Home Affairs announced that Singapore Pools would be granted an exemption under the Remote Gambling Act 2014, allowing it to offer online and telephone gambling for 4D and TOTO lotteries, football and motor-racing
In September 2018, it introduced a paperless eBetslip app that allows punters to mark out 4-D and Toto bets on e-betting slips and track their expenses to reduce the use of paper betting slips and promote responsible gaming.
Also Singapore Pools has taken over all horse betting operations from the Singapore Turf Club (STC) from Jan 7th 2019
Daily horse racing operations and the Turf Club at Kranji will remain under STC, and only the betting functions will be run by Singapore Pools. These include the betting outlets at the Singapore Racecourse and all off-course betting centres.
There will also be no change in game and payout structure, and punters can continue to place bets at existing retail and remote channels for horse betting.
As said above Singapore Pools will also be taking over iTote, the remote horse betting application service. The iTote app will continue to run separately from the Singapore Pools mobile app that allows users to place lottery and sports bets electronically.
