Singapore Pools Jalan Batu Branch closes

Singapore Pools has closed its Jalan Batu Branch, which operated for the last time on Sunday, 2 August 2026, according to an outlet notice published by the operator¹. The notice appears in the Outlet News section of the Singapore Pools website alongside a separate closure notice for another retail location¹.

The Jalan Batu notice states the final trading date and lists the two nearest remaining outlets for customers who used the branch¹:

The same page carries a second closure notice, for NTUC FairPrice Tai Seng, which is scheduled to operate for the last time on Thursday, 13 Aug 26. That notice names Xie Sheng Departmental Service Company at City Plaza and NTUC FairPrice Paya Lebar Quarter as the two nearest outlets¹.

Singapore Pools has not stated a reason for either closure in the notices, and no reason has been reported¹. The notices do not say whether the Jalan Batu site will be replaced by a new branch in the same area, and no such replacement has been reported¹.

What it means for players

Singapore Pools retail branches are among the places where customers buy 4D and TOTO entries and place sports bets over the counter, alongside the operator's online channels. For anyone who used the Jalan Batu Branch, the practical change is that counter service there has ended, and the notice directs customers to the Jalan Tiga Branch or the Shell Station Geylang Road outlet instead¹. Both are named by Singapore Pools as the nearest alternatives, but the notice does not give distances, opening hours or the range of services available at either location¹.

Players who hold a Singapore Pools account can place bets through the operator's online and app channels rather than at a branch, and account holders are not tied to a single outlet. Those who prefer to buy at a counter, or who use outlets for claims and other in-person transactions, will need to use one of the two named alternatives or another branch in the network. The notice does not say whether the Jalan Batu closure affects any pending claims or uncollected prizes from that branch, and this has not been reported¹.

The second notice means the same applies at NTUC FairPrice Tai Seng from 13 Aug 26, with two different outlets named as the nearest alternatives¹.

What happens next

The NTUC FairPrice Tai Seng outlet is scheduled to operate for the last time on Thursday, 13 Aug 26¹. Singapore Pools has not announced any further branch closures beyond the two notices shown, and no further closures have been reported¹. No reopening, relocation or replacement date for the Jalan Batu Branch has been given¹.
