359 participants to receive prizes including an iPad Air and gift certificates
Platform offers education, counselling and self-assessment tools for Sports Toto users

Korea Sports Leisure, the trustee overseeing Sports Toto under the Seoul Olympic Memorial National Sports Promotion Foundation, has launched a new responsible gambling platform called “With Toto.” The initiative also includes a promotional event encouraging users to evaluate their betting habits and strengthen awareness around safe play, according to ChosunBiz.

The opening event runs from March 5 to April 5, giving Sports Toto users roughly one month to participate in the Toto Gambling Severity Index (TGSI) self-check and complete a platform usage survey. The company states the initiative was created to help users better understand their level of immersion and adopt healthier gambling behaviour.

“With Toto” functions as an integrated responsible gambling hub featuring educational materials, counselling resources and self-assessment programs. Users can review their betting patterns, monitor changes and access tools intended to prevent excessive gambling.

Participation involves two steps: completing the TGSI self-check on the With Toto platform and capturing the results screen; then visiting the Toto Refresh microsite to register, log in and complete a survey about platform usage. Once users submit their TGSI confirmation, they are officially entered into the prize draw.

A total of 359 winners will be selected, including one grand-prize recipient of an iPad Air, three winners of Shinsegae gift certificates worth KRW 50,000 ($37.60), five winners of CU gift certificates worth KRW 10,000 and 350 recipients of Starbucks e-gift cards.

A Korea Sports Leisure representative said the platform was designed to help users self-identify early signs of problematic gambling and develop healthy betting habits, encouraging broad participation in the launch event.
