choose 7 to 12 balls and the price is relatively higher. Guaranteed pool for the highest price

Beneficiaries
Totalizator Sportowy is obligated to extra charges on its games and lotteries. There is an

Totalizator Sportowy donates funds from extra charges to:
 Fund of the Development of Sport Activity
 Fund of Promotion of Culture

Totalizator donated about 7 billions PLN to these funds.
Since 1995 couple thousand of sport areas have been built and
opened.
Besides extra charges Totalizator is a sponsor of many important events and initiatives. For

Organizational structure
In order to implement the „Sustainable Development and Responsible Gaming Plan for the
years 2010-2012” in the company the project management approach has been applied. A
special organizational structure responsible for effective implementation of the projects
included the Plan has been created and implemented. All projects are run by the employees
of Totalizator, who are experts in their fields.
Within this new structure steering committee is the decision-making authority. The
committee consists of company’s CEO, four directors (who work in the Warsaw
headquarters of Totalizator) and the coordinator of implementation of the „Sustainable
Development and Responsible Gaming Plan”.
Company’s CEO is the supervisor of the entire project and decides on the direction and
scope of actions taken within the project. The committee additionally ensures that all the
actions taken are coherent with company’s strategy. The committee meets at least once a
month, but its members are required to consult and update each other on a weekly basis.
Additionally the Sustainable Development and Responsible Gaming Team is acting as a
support body for the committee.
Each of the four directors within the steering committee is a leader one of the areas
described in the previous chapter. Each leader is supported by a deputy who in turn is
supported by a team of employees from across all the departments in the company. Each of
the over seventy projects has its manager who is subordinate to one of the leaders.
