As at 31 December 2016, there were almost 1.2 million ActiveSG members. The budget for ActiveSG, including the operating budget for facilities, such as sports stadia and swimming pools, was about $60 million.

The complimentary $100 ActiveSG credits given to new members are intended to encourage members to kickstart an active lifestyle and for them to experience the various sports facilities and programmes. Thus far, almost three quarters of members have utilised their credits. The ActiveSG credits amounted to about $10 million in revenue forgone per year.

Sport Singapore (SportSG) announced in November 2015 that the validity of the credits will be extended for another year, so long as the member uses them at least once in the last 12 months. More than 630,000 members benefited from the extension. About 150,000 members had their credits lapsed on 31 December 2016 despite email reminders.
