Gambling

In Hong Kong, gambling is a form of leisure and entertainment. Gambling in Hong Kong has been regulated since 1977 when the Gambling Ordinance was enacted in response to the frequent gambling in Hong Kong.

There is now an organization known as the Hong Kong Jockey Club that promotes responsible gambling practices and minimizing the negative effects of gambling, such as addicts. The club plans on providing social and responsible betting to meet their goal. They look for a balance between meeting the demand for gambling and maximizing the social and economic benefits of gambling for the community, while helping to minimize potential harm to the individual and the community.
