The Hong Kong Jockey Club manages Hong kong’s two race courses, Sha Tin Racecourse and Happy Valley Race Course, as well all horse racing and horse betting programs in the territory.
The club is a non-profit organization that provides not only horse racing but also sporting and betting entertainment in Hong Kong. It holds a government-granted monopoly in providing pari-mutuel betting on horse racing, “Mark Six” lotteries, and fixed odds betting on overseas and Asian football events.
The HKJC was instrumental in persuading the Hong Kong government to pass the Gambling (Amendment) Bill of 2002, which combats unauthorized cross-border gambling and the related promotional activities in Hong Kong. Thus it is a criminal offence for any person in Hong Kong (local or tourist) to bet with an unauthorized bookmaker, even when the bets are received outside Hong Kong.
