Tote Board Singapore

Introduction

The Tote Board (Singapore Totalisator Board) is a statutory board under the Ministry of Finance of the Government of Singapore. Established in 1988, the Tote Board provides funding for a wide range of social and community development projects through the collection of revenue from horse racing, sports betting, and other legal gambling activities. Its primary aim is to enhance the social fabric of Singapore through strategic grants and funding initiatives.^[1]

History

The Tote Board was established on January 1, 1988, with the objective of channeling betting revenue towards charitable, social, and community causes. Tote Board took over the role of managing horse racing from the Singapore Turf Club, allowing the latter to focus solely on racing activities. Over the years, Tote Board's role expanded to include sports betting and other forms of legal gambling.

In 2004, Tote Board acquired Singapore Pools from Temasek Holdings^[2], further consolidating its role in managing legal gambling activities and expanding its areas of support to include charity and sports. In 2019, as part of business rationalisation to achieve efficiencies, Singapore Pools took over the management and operations of horse betting from Singapore Turf Club, which continues to manage and operate high-quality horse racing.^[3]^[4]

Operations

The Tote Board operates by collecting surpluses from various betting activities and allocating them to different sectors. Tote Board's key revenue sources include:^[5]

Singapore Pools: A subsidiary that offers lottery, sports betting, and horse racing services.
Singapore Turf Club: Manages and operates horse racing in Singapore.

The revenue generated is then distributed to various sectors such as social services, education, health, arts, culture, sports, and community development.

Grantmaker

At Tote Board, the vision is about building a caring and resilient Singapore. Tote Board stewards the operating surplus from gaming revenue by supporting community-based projects for social impact. Projects that align with the following four Strategic Outcomes are prioritized:^[6]

Healthy lives and well-being
Empowered communities
Caring, cohesive, and resilient society
Sustainable and liveable home
