Singapore Pools is the only legal lottery operator in Singapore, incorporated in 1968 to curb illegal gambling. It provides a legal avenue for betting in Singapore.
Since 1 May 2004, Singapore Pools is owned by Singapore Totalisator Board, a statutory board under the Ministry of Finance.
Singapore Pools' stated aim is to provide a legal avenue for betting in Singapore to counter illegal betting syndicates, and to devote surplus earnings towards worthy causes that serve the needs of the community.
Famous quotes containing the word pools:
“The eastern light our spires touch at morning,
The light that slants upon our western doors at evening,
The twilight over stagnant pools at batflight,
Moon light and star light, owl and moth light,
Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade.
O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
