Similar to the survey in 2011, the 2014 survey found that overall the majority of respondents regarded the various forms of gambling as gambling activities rather than leisure activities. The perceptions of the various forms of gambling as gambling activities versus leisure activities were generally similar between the 2014 and 2011 surveys. Similar to the survey in 2011, the 2014 survey found that gamblers were more likely than non-gamblers to regard the softer forms of games (i.e., 4D, Toto, Singapore Sweep, Social Gambling) as leisure activities. In addition, the proportions of gamblers who regard 4D, Toto and Singapore Sweep as leisure activities have decreased by seven percentage points from 2011 to 2014 (see Annex B, Table B7). 34 Table B7 – Perception of Various Gambling Forms as “Leisure” Activities All respondents Gamblers Non-Gamblers Types of Games 2011 (%) 2014 (%) 2011 (%) 2014 (%) 2011 (%) 2014 (%) Online Gambling 10 10 11 11 9 10 Horse Betting 10 9 11 9 8 9 Table Games in (local/cruises/outside Singapore) 10 8 12 8 8 8 Jackpot Machines in Casinos (local/cruises/outside Singapore) 17 12 18 15 12 10 Jackpot Machines in Casinos (Local Clubs) 18 17 22 22 15 14 4D 43 39 58 51 30 30 TOTO 45 40 59 52 31 31 Singapore Sweep 49 45 64 57 35 35 Sports Betting 15 16 17 20 14 13 Social Gambling 50 51 62 65 39 40 Source : NCPG (Singapore) Survey on Participation in Gambling Activities among Singapore Residents 2014 35 Working together to Hold © Singapore Pools (Pte) Ltd The Balance RESTRICTED | 37 How did we “market”? © Singapore Pools (Pte) Ltd RESTRICTED | 38 Working together to Hold © Singapore Pools (Pte) Ltd The Balance RESTRICTED | 39 ReliableTrustworthy Operations Responsible Practices Contribution (Minimise Potential Negative Impact) Back To © Singapore Pools (Pte) Ltd Society RESTRICTED | 40 Responsible Marketing Everyone’s Responsibility Thank You
