The Singapore pools sportsbook is an online bookmaker that lets you bet on football, motor racing, and horse races. You can also place pre-event and live bets while the event is still ongoing. In addition, you can deposit and withdraw money via a bank link or through eNets, or by cash or Nets deposits at Singapore Pools branches. You can also use your credit card to fund your account. The site offers a variety of betting markets including win, place, handicap, and total goals.
Established in 1968, the state-owned company provides safe and trusted betting to counter illegal gambling operations. As digital adoption grows, the company is focused on leveraging emerging technologies to remain effective in stemming leakages to illegal operators while upholding strict regulatory standards. Its digitalisation journey has seen them embrace agile and innovative practices such as continuous testing, agile development, and lean startup.
Yeo explains that prior to migrating to Oracle Cloud Observability and Management (OCI), Singapore Pools had difficulty troubleshooting issues arising from complex systems due to a lack of visibility. This led to slow investigation and resolution times, negatively impacting customer experience. Since deploying OCI, the team has been able to resolve issues within minutes, compared to hours previously. They have also been able to optimize system resources and increase application performance.
In the spirit of being a “Company for Good,” Singapore Pools is committed to leverage its strengths to contribute to society. As such, the organization set up iShine Cloud in 2018, a non-profit IT social enterprise that provides other charities with a suite of charity-specific software via a secure cloud-based platform. The app helps them improve their productivity, governance, and efficiency of operations so they can better serve their beneficiaries.
Employee engagement is another key focus area for the company, with a strong emphasis on workplace wellness and a strong commitment to staff development. This was reflected when the company won the People Practices Award at the 15th Singapore HR Awards in 2020 for its efforts to create an employee-centric organisation that promotes work-life balance and fosters a culture of trust and respect.
Yeo is particularly proud of the company’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. In 2024, Singapore Pools was named the first Singapore business to receive the Gold Standard in the Diversity & Inclusion Practices Framework developed by the Human Resource Institute of Singapore (HRIZON). The certification was for its efforts to empower employees through learning opportunities and provide diverse career paths. Its diversified talent pipeline has helped the company to attract and retain top talents and develop its workforce.
