Singapore Pools and the COVID-19 Pandemic

Singaporeans often dabble in 4D or TOTO games as an entertaining form of recreation; though winning may not be easy. Betting responsibly should always be your top priority.

Singapore Pools was launched on 23 May 1968 as a practical measure to combat illegal gambling. Realizing that banning it would simply drive it underground and enrich triads and illegal bookkeepers further, government leaders decided instead to create a legitimate alternative that was safe and convenient for Singaporeans.

Today, this company is an established lottery operator offering an array of products including TOTO and 4D gaming as well as sports betting. Additionally, its secure online platform is accessible from any location; additionally, Android phones or devices users can take advantage of its mobile app service.

Recently, the company introduced several exciting initiatives. Re-certifying to level 4 of the World Lottery Association Responsible Gambling Framework – the highest standard in the industry -, iTOTO and Group TOTO were both unveiled as innovative ways for players to bet together; plus an increase in stake for both games to S$100 was made.

Singapore Pools recognized that during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was crucial for them to quickly release additional capacity on their digital infrastructure. Once upon a time, troubleshooting and resolving issues took hours – but now this timeframe has been cut in half thanks to Oracle Cloud Observability and Management; with this solution all layers of applications can be monitored simultaneously thus decreasing management complexity and management delays.

Yeo notes that the COVID-19 pandemic helped raise cyber security awareness among employees. With some older staff now working remotely for the first time in their careers, their vulnerability was especially high when working remotely for the first time ever. Therefore, the company increased phishing education efforts and conducted regular anti-phishing campaigns; additionally it has set up forums so employees could express their opinions and comments regarding its digital transformation strategy – helping build an innovative and agile organization.
