Part IV: Rules

These Rules are the betting rules.
1. SPPL will provide facilities for the acceptance of bets and the payment of dividends but the extent of such facilities shall be at the discretion of SPPL and such facilities may be modified from time to time without notice.
2. The times for the sale of bets, the payment of dividends and the refund of bets shall be at the discretion of SPPL and SPPL may, in its discretion, shorten or extend the time for sale of bets, payment of dividends or refund of bets.
3. No person under the age of 18 years shall –
  1. be permitted to bet;
  2. seek to receive payment of dividends or refunds of any kind whatsoever; or
  3. enter any part or parts of the premises owned by the Board or used by SPPL for betting during betting business hours unless in relation to matters not connected with betting and on business authorised either specifically or generally by the Board or SPPL. Any person on the premises owned by the Board or used by SPPL may be required to produce to any employee of the Board or SPPL such proof of age as such employee shall request.
4. If, in the opinion of the Board or SPPL, it shall be established that an investor is under the age of 18 years, such investor's bet may be declared void and any dividends to which such investor would otherwise have been entitled pursuant to the Rules and Regulations may be forfeited and may be applied in such manner as the Board or SPPL shall in its discretion determine.
5. The persons in charge of each of SPPL's betting locations shall have authority to refuse to accept a bet from any person tendering a bet without being under obligation to ascribe a reason for such refusal.
6. All persons entering SPPL's betting locations are deemed to make themselves bound by these Rules and waive any rights or recourse at law which they may have for any injury or other action, howsoever arising, consequential upon the refusal to accept a bet.
7. The types of betting to be conducted by SPPL shall be at the discretion of SPPL. Nothing in these Rules shall be deemed to compel SPPL to have facilities available at any betting location for any one or more of the types of betting in respect wherefor provision is made in the Rules and Regulations and notwithstanding that such facilities are available at another betting location.
8. The number of bets for a particular type of betting which an investor may make for any one pool may be restricted in such manner as SPPL may in its discretion think fit.
9. Each declared starter in a race will be denoted by a number corresponding to the number of such horse on the official race programme (however named) issued by the Club or overseas turf club or, should the necessity arise, by a substitute number at the discretion of the Club or overseas turf club.
10. If a false start is signalled before betting on the race has been closed, the betting may remain open. If betting has been closed prior to the false start being signalled, any or all betting on the race may be reopened for selling after notice of the false start is received. In either event, the dividends may be declared in the usual manner on the horses officially placed after the race has been run.
11. Subject to these Rules, off-course bets in respect of pools operated on-course will be aggregated with on-course bets, thus forming one combined on-course/off-course pool. In such cases where common pools are operated, only one set of dividends will be declared and these will be payable to investors with winning bets, both on-course and off-course.
12. SPPL may, however, operate off-course pools of a type different or on races different from an on-course pool in which case off-course bets will not be aggregated with any on-course bets and in these circumstances independent off-course dividend(s) will be declared. SPPL may further operate separate on-course pools whether of the same type as off-course pools or of a different type in which case off-course bets will not be aggregated with any on-course bets. SPPL may operate totalisator betting on racing in overseas races.
13. If a race is declared void by the stewards and is ordered to be rerun under the Rules of Racing, all bets received on the void race shall be dealt in accordance with the Rules and Regulations for each bet type. The rerun race shall be deemed as a new race. SPPL shall have the discretion to decide which pool(s), if any, shall operate for the rerun race.
14. SPPL may decide, from time to time, the format of a betting ticket and shall direct which form of betting ticket shall be used for any particular bet.
15. The printing by the betting terminal shall be evidence of a completed betting ticket being eligible to participate in a pool. It is the responsibility of the investor to ensure that the data printed on the betting ticket are in accordance with his instructions.
16. Should SPPL in its discretion decide that a search is necessary to locate the official record of a claimant's betting ticket to demonstrate to the investor that the record is a true copy, it may levy a charge of $100 as a search fee.
17. Any employee of SPPL or its retailer(s) who renders assistance to any investor shall not thereby assume for themselves personally or on behalf of SPPL or its retailer(s) any liability arising out of any actual or alleged failure by the employee to comply with the requirements of the investor. SPPL or its retailer(s) shall not be liable to any investor for the negligent or wilful acts of any of its retailer's employees who provided such assistance.
18. SPPL may determine, from time to time, the unit bet, flexibet or partial unit bet for each bet type.
19. No dividend will be paid or refund made unless a valid betting ticket is produced. No claim in respect of lost ticket will be entertained. If the bet has been placed and no betting ticket is issued, payment of dividend or refund will be made or rejected according to the computer record.
20. If, subsequent to declaration of dividends, an irregularity becomes apparent in respect of an official record or computer record, such may also be declared void.
21. SPPL may declare dividends in respect of the types of betting in operation for the race or races in question. Such dividends will be exhibited to the public at the places designated for that purpose or announced by SPPL in such manner as it sees fit.
22. If there is more than one dead-heat in one or more places for which the payment of dividends has not been specifically provided in the Regulations in Part V, the winning combinations and payment of dividends shall be determined in accordance with the applicable principles for determining the winning combinations and payment of dividends in a dead-heat as set out in the Regulations and the dividends declared by SPPL shall be binding on all investors.
23. For the purposes of ascertaining and payment of dividends pursuant to the Rules and Regulations, the race result after the "all clear signal" has been given shall be the final result notwithstanding that as a result of any subsequent inquiry or action howsoever, such declared results may be altered.
24. Dividends will be declared on the unit bet. Dividends on bets of higher value than the unit bet shall be in the same multiple of the dividend declared on the unit bet as the higher value of bet is of the unit bet. A flexibet or partial unit bet on the winning combination shall be paid such proportion of the dividend on the unit bet as the flexibet or partial unit bet is of the unit bet.
25. If the total number of correct bets in the pool is less than a unit, the winning flexibets or partial unit bets shall be paid dividends in such proportion of the net pool as the flexibets or partial unit bets are of the same unit bet. The unpaid balance of the net pool shall be carried forward to the next pool unless otherwise determined by SPPL.
26. All claims for dividends or refunds must be made at SPPL's designated office, or such other places which may be nominated by SPPL from time to time, within 180 calendar days, including holidays, after the day on which the relevant race was run. Dividends or refunds not collected within the 180-day period shall be forfeited.
27. Dividends or refunds may also be paid at the discretion of SPPL on such date and at such location as SPPL may determine.
28. SPPL may, in its discretion, make such enquiries as it considers necessary or is requested to undertake with a view to being satisfied that claims made for dividends or refunds constitute valid claims and nothing in the Rules and Regulations set forth shall impose any obligation upon SPPL to make payment of the dividends or refunds within any specific time except where is expressly provided herein to the contrary.
29. Where a dividend is declared and, whether before or after all investors have been paid the declared dividend an error or miscalculation is discovered whereby the dividend is changed, SPPL is empowered to declare a revised dividend and any holders of winning tickets who have not previously encashed their tickets shall thereafter be paid such revised dividend notwithstanding the payment to other investors of a dividend as previously declared. The power to revise the dividend may be exercised by SPPL so often, in regard to each dividend, as an error or miscalculation is discovered.
30. SPPL may declare a minimum guaranteed net pool amount for a particular pool. Subject to this Rule, if the net pool is less than the minimum guaranteed net pool amount, SPPL shall increase the net pool to the minimum guaranteed net pool amount before the net pool is divided in accordance with the Rules and Regulations for the bet type to which the net pool applies (referred to in this Rule as the particular bet type). If one or more races are void, or if there are insufficient starters or insufficient finishers in any leg, under the Rules and Regulations for the particular bet type, or if one or more races are cancelled, the net pool, if less than the minimum guaranteed net pool amount, shall not be increased to the minimum guaranteed net pool amount and shall be dealt with in accordance with the Rules and Regulations for the particular bet type.
31. SPPL may declare such money to be added to any net pool and such money declared shall form part of the net pool subject to any Rule that may stipulate otherwise. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, in the event of one or more of the winning combinations being unbacked, the net pool plus such money so declared shall be carried forward as a jackpot to the next pool unless otherwise decided by SPPL.
32. The Board and SPPL shall not become involved in or become party to any dispute in relation to the ownership of a betting ticket.
33. The Board and SPPL shall not be concerned with any manuscript endorsements made on a betting ticket. The Board and SPPL shall not be concerned to see that the dividend on a betting ticket is properly divided amongst the alleged participants. The sole obligation of SPPL shall be to make payment to the person presenting the betting ticket and SPPL shall not be obliged to accede to any request by the holder to pay in any manner other than that which is provided for in the Rules and Regulations.
34. In the event of a dispute arising with regard to the validity of any matter under the Rules and Regulations, the decision of SPPL shall be final and binding.
35. SPPL and its retailer(s) shall be open to receive investments on such days and at such hours as SPPL may determine.
36. Notwithstanding clause 4.35 above, all investments must be made not later than such time as may be fixed by SPPL from time to time before the start of that particular race or the first leg race.
37. Details of investments at all betting locations will be transmitted and added to the relevant pools before the start of each race unless special circumstances require otherwise or as provided in clause 4.38 below.
38. When all or part of the investments received at any betting location cannot be transmitted, recorded or added to the relevant pools because of unforeseen circumstances, SPPL may, in its discretion, accept any such investments as qualifying for such dividend as may be determined by SPPL.
39. SPPL shall take all steps reasonably available to ensure simplicity of procedure and accuracy of transmission and may, from time to time, make changes in the methods of transmission.
40. SPPL shall determine from time to time the amount for each unit of investment in respect of each type of investment and dividends shall be declared in respect of a unit of investment. The amount for each unit of investment shall be published.
41. Subject to the provisions of this Scheme, dividends shall be paid to the investors who have invested on the winning combination.
42. Except as provided under clause 4.38 above, dividends shall be calculated from the total investments of each pool registered on SPPL‟s official record. Pools from investment on each bet type shall be calculated separately.
43. From the total of each pool shall be deducted the amount of government tax and the commission.
44. The amount of dividend payable in respect of an investment shall be calculated in accordance with the Rules and Regulations. SPPL may, however, from time to time and at its discretion declare a minimum dividend in respect of an investment.
45. SPPL shall determine whether dividends shall be declared in multiples of $1, or in fractions of a dollar, on all or certain types of investment.
46. SPPL may, from time to time, announce the minimum number of declared starters necessary for the conduct of each type of investment.
47. All dividends shall be paid in Singapore currency and in such form of payment as SPPL may, in its discretion, decide.
48. The time for making payment of dividends shall be in accordance with the Rules.

53. The Board, the Club and SPPL shall not in any event whatsoever be liable for any injury, loss or damage sustained or incurred by any person whilst on the Club's, SPPL's or its retailers' premises whether such injury, loss or damage be caused by the negligence of the Board, the Club, or SPPL or their employees or the retailers or their employees or otherwise.
54. No person shall be entitled to ask or demand that any ticket be taken back or exchanged after he has received the ticket and left the counter without objection.
55. In the event of the stewards permitting or authorising the withdrawal of a horse from a race up to the time of starting (or if in their opinion a horse in such race has been prevented from starting by the mechanical failure of the starting stalls or the starter failing to place a horse in its stall) the money bet on that horse shall be refunded, except when it is otherwise provided in the Rules and Regulations.
56. When the "all clear" has been signalled, the pool shall be divided and the dividends paid to the investors with bets on the winning and placed horses as placed by the judge or judges and no subsequent objection or breach of the Rules of Racing or any irregularity whatsoever discovered subsequently shall disturb the original settlement and no investors shall have any claim whatsoever against SPPL, the stewards, the Club or the management committee of the Club in respect of such subsequent objection or breach of the Rules of Racing or any irregularity whatsoever discovered subsequently.

All Up Betting Regulations
1. "All Up" means that system of betting on the Win, Place, Forecast and Place Forecast pools where the investor selects a horse or horses in races of his choice and requests SPPL to reinvest any dividend entitlement or refund on subsequent races and selections in accordance with his irrevocable instruction and such predetermined formulas which SPPL may from time to time decide.
2. SPPL may limit the amount of any dividend entitlement which may be carried forward and tendered as a bet on the remaining subsequent races and any such declaration shall be binding on each investor. Any investor so affected, and whether or not with knowledge of the limitation prescribed, shall have no right to claim from SPPL any dividend in respect of any part of the dividend entitlement so included in a bet as a result of any such limitation.
3. For All Up betting, any dividend or refund on an All Up betting ticket will only be paid after SPPL declares the results and dividends of all the nominated races under the All Up bet.
4. In the event of a withdrawal in a race included in the All Up bet:
  1. The bet on a withdrawal in a one-leg combination will be refunded.
  2. The bet on a withdrawal in a multi-leg combination will be carried forward to the next leg.
5. SPPL may determine or revise the formulas for All Up betting and stipulate the number of formulas to be offered for All Up betting from time to time.
Roll Betting Regulations
1. "Roll Betting" means a form of betting in which an investor can roll his bets up to a maximum of 6 races. Unless otherwise determined by SPPL, the single unit or one unit Win bet shall be $5. Examples are as follows:
  1. If an investor selects 2 races, one horse for each race, for one unit Win bet on, say, Race 1 horse No. 5 and Race 3 horse No. 7, the cost is $5.
  2. If an investor selects 3 races, one horse for each race, for one unit Win bet on, say, Race 1 horse No. 5, Race 3 horse No. 7 and Race 4 horse No. 6, the cost is also $5.
  3. If an investor selects 6 races, one horse for each race, for one unit Win bet on, say, Race 1 horse No. 5, Race 3 horse No. 7, Race 4 horse No. 6, Race 5 horse No. 3, Race 6 horse No. 2 and Race 7 horse No. 1, the cost is still $5.
2. Every dividend shall be calculated strictly in relation to the Win and Place totalisator dividends declared.
3. No dividends for a Win roll bet shall be paid unless the 1st leg and subsequent leg horses win their respective races. For a dividend to be paid by SPPL in Roll Betting for a Win roll bet the investor must have a one unit Win for each and every and all the races that the investor has placed a bet on and a dividend must be declared to be paid for each and every and all these races. For illustration purposes two such examples are given below;
  
  Example One: For one unit Win bet placed on 2 races by an investor, if the 1st leg pays $12 and the 2nd leg pays $20 for a Win, the dividend payable to the investor is arrived at as follows:
  
  1st leg $12 = 2.40 units rolled to the 2nd leg (Bets are in units of $5)
  
  2nd leg $20 x 2.40 units = $48
  
  Total Dividend Payable = $48
  
  Example Two: For one unit Win bet placed on 6 races by an investor and assuming the investor has successfully rolled his bets up to 6 races, if the 1st leg pays $34, 2nd leg pays $28, 3rd leg pays $10, 4th leg pays $11, 5th leg pays $13 and the 6th leg pays $39 for a Win, the dividend payable to the investor is arrived at as follows:
  
  1st leg $34 = 6.80 units rolled to the 2nd leg (Bets are in units of $5)
  
  2nd leg $28 x 6.80 units = $190 = 38 units rolled to the 3rd leg
  
  3rd leg $10 x 38 units = $380 = 76 units rolled to the 4th leg
  
  4th leg $11 x 76 units = $836 = 167.20 units rolled to the 5th leg
  
  5th leg $13 x 167.20 units = $2,173 = 434.60 units rolled to the 6th leg
  
  6th leg $39 x 434.60 units = $16,949
  
  Total Dividend Payable
  
  = $16,949
4. In the event of an investor investing in more than one unit per bet, the dividend multiplied by the number of units divided by 5 will give the number of units to be rolled to the 2nd leg, up to two decimal places, e.g. for two Win units, if the 1st leg pays $54 and the 2nd leg pays $28 for a Win, the dividend payable is arrived at as follows:
  
  1st leg $54 x 2 units = $108 = 21.60 units to be rolled to the 2nd leg (Bets are in units of $5)
  
  2nd leg $28 x 21.60 units = $604
  
  Total Dividend Payable = $604.
5. Similarly, no dividend for a Place roll bet shall be paid unless the 1st leg and the subsequent leg horses run a Place in their respective races.
6. Refunds, if any, declared at the sole discretion of SPPL for any scratchings, horses withdrawn, races abandoned or declared void will be dealt with as follows:
  1. If a refund is declared, on the 1st leg horse under the circumstances described in this clause 21.6 above, all bets on the 1st leg horse will be rolled on to the subsequent leg horses for which a refund has not been declared upon.
  2. If an investor rolls his bet up to 6 races and if his 1st leg horse wins but there is a refund declared on any of the subsequent leg horse(s) under the circumstances described in this clause 21.6 above, the dividends payable on his 1st and any leg horse(s) will be rolled on to the subsequent leg horses for which a refund has not been declared upon.
  3. If the 1st leg horse selected should win the race and there are refunds declared on all subsequent leg horses under the circumstances described in this clause 21.6 above, the Roll betting Win bet on the 1st leg shall be paid the dividend declared for the Win bet in that leg.
7. The same rules as set out in Rule 21.6 above (including Rules 21.6.1, 21.6.2 and 21.6.3), with the necessary modifications, shall apply for Place roll bets.
