Singapore’s state-owned lottery operator Singapore Pools has resumed its online sports betting activities on Monday (June 15), while punters can bet online on overseas horse races from June 17.

The Company said in a press statement that all its other outlets – branches, authorised retailers, Livewire venues and off-course betting centres – will remain closed till further notice.

“This is in line with the Government’s phased approach of safe reopening and resumption of business activities,” Singapore Pools said.

Lottery draws for 4D, TOTO and Singapore Sweep will remain suspended and customers who have tickets for postponed draws are advised to retain them for upcoming draws.

Prize payments also remain on hold and an announcement will be made for the extension of eligible prize-winning tickets for lottery draws, sports and/or horse racing events held between 10 Oct 2019 and 5 April 2020 when these services resume.
