The government-owned sports betting service provider has been around since 1968 and is a major contributor to Singapore’s economy. The company also provides a number of social services and is committed to community outreach. They offer many different games and bet types for their customers to choose from. Their games are available on both the internet and in physical locations.
The company has a mobile app that allows customers to access their betting accounts and manage their wagering. The app is compatible with both iOS and Android devices. It features an easy-to-use interface and is designed to be fast and responsive. The website also offers helpful resources for new bettors and seasoned pros alike.
In the latest financial year, Singapore Pools recorded a turnover of close to S$9 billion. This was primarily from bets placed on 4-D, Toto, Singapore Sweep and horse racing. However, a significant portion of the turnover was also from sports and other betting activities.
Despite the soaring turnover, the company remains focused on responsible gambling measures and is committed to adapting to customer needs as the landscape of gaming changes. The organisation has been able to achieve the highest level of responsible gaming certification by the World Lottery Association (WLA) in 2012. It also works closely with various agencies to dovetail responsible gambling messaging into anti-illegal gambling programmes.
To help gamblers better control their spending habits, the company launched a suite of Safer Play tools and features with its online betting platform. These include a Monthly Betting Limit, an Affordability Calculator and the ability to set a Monthly Deposit limit. These tools are especially useful for bettors who want to limit their gambling.
Aside from the suite of Safer Play tools, Singapore Pools also offers its customers a variety of ways to bet on sporting events. The site has a wide selection of football matches from numerous leagues and is accessible to both local and international bettors. The site also has live-betting and streaming capabilities, which are a great feature for bettors.
The website is easy to use and can be accessed by any individual with a valid Singaporean identity card or a permanent resident status. The site is governed by the laws of Singapore and has strict verification processes. In addition, the site has a number of secure payment options.
The company was recently awarded the Employee Engagement (Silver), Digital Transformation (Bronze) and Learning & Development (Bronze) at the 15th Singapore HR Awards. This reflects their agility and resilience amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and is in line with their commitment to uplifting the community. In particular, the company’s Singapore Pools Academy has extended its human capital development resources to support social service organisations and charities in developing their workforce through purposeful training initiatives. In addition, the company has also taken a proactive approach towards disaster recovery by implementing an enterprise-wide contingency plan. The company was able to resume operations within a week of the pandemic.
