UK Tote and Singapore Pools ‘to strengthen bond between fans and sport’

The UK Tote Group (UKTG) has signed an agreement with Singapore Pools to bring their pools together. 

Through the agreement, liquidity with customers of Singapore Pools betting will be combined into the UK Tote’s pools on British racing meetings to create bigger UK pools, better customer experience and improved financial return. 

Simon Leong, Chief Product Officer of Singapore Pools, said: “We are delighted to collaborate with the UK Tote on this new front, which not only provides our customers access to larger pools but also contributes to British horseracing which have been telecasted in Singapore since 2010.

“We deeply appreciate our longstanding partnership with British racing and look forward to further strengthening the communal horse racing ties shared between us. Singapore Pools will continue to bring quality products from around the world to Singapore and elevate the racing experience for all.” 

Singapore Pools has been a partner of British racing for a number of years and the collaboration will help solidify the relationship between fans and the sport. 

Jon Knapman, International Chief Commercial Officer of the UK Tote Group, said: “This is a really positive development and we’re pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues at Singapore Pools to ensure bigger pools for all our customers. 

“We will continue to cooperate and commingle with our international pool betting partners to ensure bigger, more unified pools on our racing. We’d like to thank all involved who contributed to this new agreement.”

The signing of the agreement was also supported by Arena Racing Company and Racecourse Media Group (RMG) as the media rights holders for British racing.  

Nick Mills, Chief Commercial Officer of RMG, concluded: “Singapore Pools have been a long-standing partner of British and Irish racing, having hosted local pools for over 15 years. 

“This is a great example of British racing working together and we are delighted to work with all parties to facilitate commingling into the UKTG and therefore provide greater liquidity, which will see benefits to all.”
