| − | Gambling is often seen as a problem in society, no doubt gambling addiction poses a grave societal problem, however banning gambling is not a viable solution, for it would simply drive these activities underground. As such, our sponsor, Singapore Pools was set up by the Singapore government in 1968 to place gambling on legal grounds and to deal with the social ills tied to gambling. Ever since, Singapore Pools has been the sole legalized operator to run lotteries and sports betting in Singapore.

As a not-for-profit-organization, Singapore Pools donates a share of their revenue to benefit good causes on a regular basis, many of which have being made for the betterment of charity, education, health, community development, and sports sectors.
