Car racing games have been a staple gaming favorite for decades. Over that time, developers have experimented with the genre and innovated to please a discerning modern audience. No part of the race (e.g. the form guide) can be shown until after all the bets have been placed on that race. You can run a race night for charity without a licence from us. However, you must make sure you follow the rules for the type of activity you want to run.If no more bets are placed after the race has been chosen, you will have complied with the statutory regulations, so you can inform the audience which horse is the favourite, and which horse is the outsider Alternatively, if you can get someone to donate a good quality prize, all of the proceeds can go into the fundraising pot. You don’t need a licence for this kind of race night. However, you can’t use private gaming for fundraising. You can’t charge any entry fees

If third parties are selling goods or services at your event, for example if someone is selling refreshments, this does not count as money raised for the charity or good cause and can be retained by that third party. The premises owner must notify your local licensing authority, usually your local council. They must do this by serving an occasional use notice (OUN). You can find your local council on GOV.UK (opens in new tab) Serving an occasional use notice (OUN) Equal chance gaming is where the chances are equally favourable to all players, and they’re not competing against a bank. It includes games such as poker or bingo.

The winners collect their prize money which is usually 50% of the total bets taken with the other 50% going to the chosen charity or good cause (the percentage can be altered depending on your requirements). Players must select a horse totally dependent on chance. You can’t give odds or form to help players choose. For example, you could play a video of a horse race that’s already taken place as long as you didn’t reveal details of the horses. Reasonable costs include any costs reasonably incurred e,g. by providing any prizes and for betting slips.
