The Hong Kong Jockey Club has recommended to the government the introduction of additional betting options within its operations as a measure to address the proliferation of unauthorized bookmakers.
The club proposes that one effective approach to combat illegal gambling involves providing new avenues for gambling that would redirect demand away from illicit off-course betting to lawful outlets.
According to the club, implementing this strategy could aid the government in its endeavors to curb illegal gambling activities, which purportedly yield more than $1.9 billion annually from Hong Kong residents. These activities encompass various forms of gambling, including basketball, tennis, and football.
