Sons<\/strong>, said mega events deliver economic multipliers but also represent \u201ca tangible expression of social responsibility\u201d for corporate backers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Zhang Ling<\/strong>, former Hong Kong tennis captain, pointed to the forthcoming Kai Tak Sports Park and Hong Kong\u2019s role in the National Games as catalysts for industrialising the sports sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HKJC betting changes&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Foundation\u2019s proposals arrive as Hong Kong debates changes to its gambling framework. Since 1977, betting in the territory has been restricted to football, horse racing and lotteries \u2013 all operated solely by the HKJC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In April 2025, the government confirmed it would consult on expanding the HKJC\u2019s portfolio to include basketball betting, following up on a proposal first flagged in February\u2019s 2025\/26 budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The HKJC and the Betting and Lotteries\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commission have long argued for the move, estimating illegal basketball wagering at between HK$70bn-90bn ($8,9bn-$11.7bn) each year. Bringing this activity under regulation, they explained, would add significant government revenue while suppressing black-market activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time, a <strong>Home and Youth Affairs Bureau (HYAB)<\/strong> spokesperson added: \u201cAs a matter of policy, the government does not encourage gambling. However, there is undeniably a persistent demand for gambling in Hong Kong which, if left unregulated, would likely give rise to illegal gambling activities and associated social problems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The consultation was announced alongside the government\u2019s decision to extend the HKJC\u2019s football betting licence \u2013 the only one of its kind in the city \u2013 for a further five years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, Hong Kong is now weighing a carefully controlled expansion of its gambling framework at the same time as OHKF pushes for betting revenue to be channelled directly into the city\u2019s sporting future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/sbceurasia\">Telegram channel!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Hong Kong Foundation (OHKF) has called for the country to unlock new funding sources including betting income with a view to drive the ambition of to \u201cbecome a global hub for major sporting events.\u201d&nbsp; The organisation this week unveiled its report Breaking Boundaries to Develop Hong Kong into a Mega Sports Events Capital, which [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":10631,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5,1],"tags":[52,3682,46,11703,13808,2365,13804,13807,64,62,13806],"class_list":["post-10630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gambling","category-news","tag-betting","tag-financing","tag-gambling","tag-hong-kong","tag-hong-kong-council","tag-investments","tag-mega-sports-events","tag-ohkf","tag-sports","tag-sports-betting","tag-sports-policy"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
