As part of his tour of Vietnam, Tan Soo Nan learned about the casino sports competition system of Vietnamese football, the average number of viewers for each match, the number of football clubs and the number of fans that would potentially bet. He hinted that a local operator of could earn more from casino sports betting than they could in Singapore. He was not willing to share profits figures made from sports betting services offered by Singapore Pools, but said that the Singapore Football Federation receives millions of dollars off the top of the bets.
