Singapore Pools Funan Branch operates as the nation's sole legal bookmaker and lottery operator, providing comprehensive sports betting and lottery services in a regulated environment that supports responsible gaming while channeling surpluses toward social causes throughout Singapore. Located at #B1-02 and operating daily from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, this branch serves the central business district and Funan Mall communities with access to TOTO (6-out-of-49 lottery drawn Mondays and Thursdays), 4D (4-digit lottery drawn Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays), and Singapore Sweep (7-digit sweepstakes drawn on the first Wednesday of each month). As a wholly owned subsidiary of the Tote Board incorporated in 1968 to curb illegal gambling, Singapore Pools demonstrates how legal gaming operations can serve public interests while providing entertainment options in controlled, responsible environments.
The sports betting services encompass football (soccer), motor racing, and horse racing through both traditional in-person wagering and modern online/telephone platforms that accommodate diverse customer preferences while maintaining strict regulatory compliance. The branch's strategic location in Singapore's technology hub reflects the organization's evolution toward digital services while maintaining physical presence for customers who prefer traditional transaction methods. Singapore Pools' exemption to offer online and telephone gambling services, granted in September 2016 under strict regulations, demonstrates how traditional gaming operators can adapt to technological advancement while preserving consumer protection and regulatory oversight that ensures fair play and responsible gaming practices.
As a not-for-profit organization, Singapore Pools channels all surpluses toward supporting social service, community development, sports, arts, education, and health initiatives throughout Singapore, transforming gaming revenue into tangible community benefits that support national development goals. The organization's 50+ year track record of legal gaming operations provides safe alternatives to illegal gambling while generating substantial funds for social causes that benefit all Singaporeans. Whether participating in lottery drawings, placing sports bets, or seeking entertainment through legal gaming options, Singapore Pools Funan Branch offers responsible gaming services backed by comprehensive regulatory oversight and community-focused mission that ensures gaming activities contribute positively to Singapore's social fabric and community development initiatives.
