Question 1

Am I allowed to place bets on sports in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

In Singapore, betting on sports is allowed. The only legal sports betting platform is Singapore Pools, which remains a regulated and secure avenue for placing bets. Nonetheless, many Singaporeans still prefer to place bets on offshore betting sites which gives homes a larger variety of options. Among these, GoPlay711 has emerged as the most-rated online betting site featuring a wide range of bets for Singaporean players.

Question 2

Can you bet on sports online in Singapore legally?

Accepted Answer

Online sports betting in Singapore is mostly illegal, with only state-approved organizations like Singapore Pools being allowed to operate. However, there are plenty of high-quality foreign betting sites that are still open for business to punters in Singapore. To stay safe, we suggest that you use a VPN when accessing these platforms and also use cryptocurrency as a payment method.

Question 3

What's the most popular sport in Singapore where you can place bets?

Accepted Answer

Soccer (or Football) is, without a doubt, the favorite sport to bet on in Singapore. It is safe to say that most people in this country wager on football, as there are so many supporters and it tends to be an exciting sport, particularly for major leagues similar to the English Premier League and worldwide rivalries, such as the World Cup. Betting on other sports like basketball or horse racing is also available but nowhere near as popular as soccer.

Question 4

Are foreigners allowed to place bets in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Yes, foreigners can bet in Singapore but with some conditions. Singapore Pools conducts sports betting and lotteries while the casinos at Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa are legally permissible gambling venues. Foreigners are invited to bet at these destinations — provided that they are of legal age (21 for casinos, 18 for Singapore Pools). There is heavy regulation of online gambling, although Singapore Pools provides limited online betting in a legal context.

Question 5

Are there any sports bonuses offered by bookmakers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, almost all the bookmakers give sports bonuses due to increasing competition among them. Some of these bonuses include "welcome bonuses" for new members, like matching your first deposit up to a certain amount, or "free bets", where you can place them without having to use your own money. Certain bookies also provide "odds boosts" where you increase the potential winnings on selected games/events. You also have loyalty rewards, cashback offers when you lose, and bonuses for betting on specific sports or events.

Question 6

Are there betting apps available from bookmakers in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Yes, some bookies like Solarbet and GoPlay711 (Available only for Android devices) have betting apps in Singapore. These apps allow users to bet on a multitude of sports events and casino games through their phones. You can view odds, place bets, and even watch live streaming of the matches.
