[Combating Illegal Gambling] EP 2: The Jockey Club's Unique Position - Defending Hong Kong's Interests The Hong Kong Jockey Club is the only government-recognised organisation licensed to operate horse racing, football betting, and the Mark Six lottery. However, it does not operate in isolation. Illegal bookmakers are thriving in the digital realm, using websites and mobile apps to promote illicit gambling products to the local population. The scale of this operation is significant; one particularly active online betting site in Asia has reported that its betting volume during the local horse racing season is equivalent to 60% of the Jockey Club's betting figures. Participating in illegal betting is a criminal offense, yet it is estimated that in 2022, around 550,000 residents of Hong Kong engaged in such activities. In 2023 alone, Hong Kong residents lost a staggering minimum of HK$15 billion to illegal bookmakers—an amount sufficient to build 20,000 public housing units. Alarmingly, the traffic from Hong Kong IP addresses to global illegal betting sites has surged. To combat this illegal betting and protect Hong Kong's wealth from flowing away, the Jockey Club needs the support of the community. It is crucial for residents to refrain from participating in illegal bookmakers. #HKJC #AntiIllegalGambling

This includes HK$29.9 billion in betting duty, profits tax, and contributions to the Lotteries Fund, as well as HK$10.2 billion in charitable donations. These contributions bolster government revenues while benefiting various sectors of the community, addressing needs across healthcare, environmental conservation, youth development, elderly care, community building, arts, and sports. For 140 years, the Hong Kong Jockey Club has been a steadfast partner to the people of Hong Kong, dedicated to building a better future for the city. #HKJC #AntiIllegalGambling

[Jockey Club celebrates 53 years of support for Hong Kong Arts Festival] The Hong Kong Arts Festival Society Ltd (HKAF) opened on 28 February with continued support from The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, a partnership that dates back to the Festival’s launch over five decades ago. The opening ceremony was held at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. As a long-term partner of the HKAF, the Club has supported the highly-regarded arts festival in presenting three pillar programmes under The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series each year since 2008. Furthermore, the Club’s Charities Trust is the sole sponsor of the world premiere of the Putonghua adaptation of Jules Verne’s timeless sci-fi classic 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, part of the newly launched Jockey Club East-meets-West Series. This world stage play’s Putonghua adaptation, commissioned by the HKAF, will see masterminds from France collaborate with top-notch Chinese theatre artists to create a new rendition of the literary classic. To encourage local students from varied backgrounds to appreciate top-class artistic performances, the Club has long supported The Hong Kong Jockey Club Student Matinee Programme, which enables them to enjoy free performances. This year, the programme includes Beethoven Wars: A Battle for Peace, performed by the Insula orchestra and accentus. A guided talk will be provided for students before the performance, to enhance their understanding of the shows and theatre etiquette, as well as their capacity for arts appreciation. The Club is also delighted to support the Jockey Club InnoArts Series with the aim to promote the convergence of art and technology. This year, the series features No Reality Now — an immersive theatre experience that combines dance with virtual reality (VR) technology. Audience members can switch between the live performance on stage and the augmented version using a VR headset that can be worn or removed at any time.
