Tote Board
Tote Board channels gaming surplus and financial surplus of Singapore Pools and STC, and the collection of casino entry levy – to grantmaking projects that help build an inclusive, resilient and vibrant community. Tote Board also ensures that Singapore Pools and Singapore Turf Club conduct their businesses in a socially responsible manner, to provide legal and safe gaming, and to counter illegal gambling.
As a broad-based grantmaking organisation, Tote Board works closely with our stakeholders and partners to support a broad and diverse range of worthy projects in the sectors of Arts & Culture, Community Development, Education, Health, Social Service and Sports.
The wide range of our grants and initiatives has enabled us to touch the lives of almost all Singaporeans at every stage of their lives. Through our grantmaking projects, we provide equitable opportunities for vulnerable groups, strengthen communities, and build a vibrant and liveable Home.
Our goal is to build a flourishing society in Singapore. We want to inspire positive change and contribute towards building an inclusive, resilient and vibrant community, while fostering a caring and compassionate nation.
Singapore Pools was established in 1968 with the mission of providing safe and trusted betting in support of the nation’s effort to counter illegal gambling. It offers lottery games as well as sports betting on football matches, horse-wagering and Formula One motor racing. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tote Board, surplus generated from its business operations is channelled to Tote Board for the funding of worthy causes. Its vision is to be a world-class socially responsible gaming company trusted by customers and valued by the community. In 2012, Singapore Pools was conferred the World Lottery Association’s highest accolade for responsible gaming in the industry, becoming one of only seven operators in the Asia Pacific region to attain this achievement.
Founded in 1842, STC became an agent of Tote Board in 1988 and relocated to its current premises at Kranji racecourse in 1999. STC adopts a strong "Play Responsibly" stance. Through regular engagements with its customers, STC advocates a balanced approach towards enjoying the sport and the thrills of horse racing as an entertainment and sport, without adversely affecting customers' financial situations or lifestyles. STC also opens its racecourse premises for wide-ranging recreational activities for Singaporeans from all walks of life to enjoy.
