Business change to Korea Sports Leisure Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Korea Sports Promotion Foundation (KSPO)
Sales are expected to be suspended for five days from June 29, 2025 (Sunday) 00:00 to July 3 (Thursday) 24:00
The Sports Toto issued by the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation (KSPO) will be temporarily suspended for five days from 12:00 a.m. on June 29, 2025 (Sunday) to 11:59 p.m. on July 3 (Thursday) due to the end of the contract with the existing entrustee, Sports Toto Korea Co. Ltd., and the commencement of business with the new entrustee, Korea Sports Leisure Co. Ltd.
The Sports Toto business is a public leisure project operated under the Korea Sports Promotion Act, and the resulting revenue is returned to the National Sports Promotion Fund and is utilized for the promotion of domestic sports and expansion of the sports base. To strengthen such public interest and social responsibility, the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation (KSPO) will operate the business through its subsidiary, Korea Sports Leisure Co. Ltd., starting from July 1.
This temporary suspension of sales is a necessary measure to smoothly carry out the transition work, including system transfer, security checks, and stabilization of the operational system due to the change of entrustee. Both entrustees are carefully reviewing all tasks during this period to ensure that there are no disruptions to the normal provision of services in the future.
During the suspension period, the purchase of all Sports Toto games (Toto, Proto) will be restricted, and the refund of winnings will also be temporarily halted.
Korea Sports Leisure Co. Ltd. will officially begin Sports Toto management as of July 1, 2025 (Tuesday), and is preparing for a new leap based on the vision of contributing to the National Sports Promotion Fund by creating a healthy sports leisure culture with the public. In the future, the company plans to promote various policies aimed at strengthening the public nature of the Sports Toto brand, responsible management, and enhancing customer convenience through digital innovation.
A representative from Sports Toto Korea stated, "This change of entrustee will serve as an opportunity to enhance the public interest and sustainability of the Sports Toto business," and added, "We will do our best in marketing, guidance, and customer support to minimize any inconveniences that may arise during the business transition process."
Meanwhile, the expiration period for refunds and repayments on the voting rights that expire during the entire service suspension will be extended by the duration of that period.
Refunds and repayments for Sports Toto are scheduled to gradually resume from 12:00 a.m. on July 4, 2025 (Friday), and sales will resume sequentially from 2:00 p.m. on July 4 (Friday). The specific schedule can be confirmed through the official Sports Toto website (www.sportstoto.co.kr), the Betman website (www.betman.co.kr), and the customer service center (1588-4900).
