Responsible Gambling Measures
​

 

  Responsible Gambling is a key corporate strategy endorsed by Singapore Turf Club and championed by all staff. The Club recognises the importance of putting in place practices and processes to achieve a high standard of gaming.

We design proprietary communications and related collaterals to promote the importance of playing responsibly with the "PLAY RESPONSIBLY" message featured in all communications materials and incorporated into betting tickets/coupons. Our information on games is factual and transparent and the betting gaming rules on products are make available at all times for our customers to assist them in making informed decisions regarding their gaming choices.

 

 

 

​
 

Responsible Gambling Awareness Week To reinforce the importance of playing responsibly, Singapore Turf Club organises a Responsible Gambling Awareness Week (RGAW) annually.

RGAW is designed to heighten awareness of responsible gambling among our employees, patrons and the general public. Through outreach events, interactive awareness displays and awareness programs, we provide customers with information on safe gambling practices and referrals for assistance with gambling-related issues.
