The Hong Kong Jockey Club is authorised by the HKSAR Government to provide wagering, via its subsidiaries, on horse racing and football and to operate the Mark Six lottery. This ensures that regulated channels are available to meet public demand for wagering and lottery services, thereby helping the HKSAR Government to combat illegal gambling. It also ensures that any proceeds benefit the community as a whole, whether in the form of tax and duty to the HKSAR Government, proceeds to the Lotteries Fund, or through the Club’s own charity donations.

In 2023/24, this unique model of responsible wagering generated a total of HK$40.1 billion for the community. This included HK$29.9 billion to the HKSAR Government in duty, profits tax and Lotteries Fund contributions and HK$10.2 billion in approved charity donations.
