104 Horse Racing Betting Statistics for 2026

What do the British returns show?

The Gambling Commission publishes financial returns by channel and product. The horse-racing rows separate remote betting from over-the-counter off-course betting and on-course activity. Turnover and gross gambling yield answer different questions. The former measures wagering volume; the latter is the source's revenue measure. The selected annual series retain revised and provisional markers. All amounts below are millions of pounds. The source workbook retains greater numerical precision than the two-decimal presentation used here. No UK total is constructed by combining these channels, and no amounts are converted into another currency. The source table below preserves its original headings and units. Its wider product columns provide context, while only the horse-racing observations selected in the register contribute to this article.

How do Hong Kong season and financial-year figures differ?

The Hong Kong Jockey Club publishes both season-end and financial-year releases. The racing calendar and accounting year have different cutoffs, so similarly labelled turnover amounts are not interchangeable. Commingling also brings cross-border pool activity into the reported measures. It does not measure spending by Hong Kong residents alone. The sections below retain the distinction between racing operations, incoming commingling and simulcasting. Growth rates are the rates reported in the original releases instead of calculations made from rounded headline figures. No annual total is reconstructed by adding these overlapping measures. The reproduced financial table includes other Club products as surrounding context. Only the racing row is relevant to the selected financial-year turnover observations. The caption identifies the accounting period so it remains distinct from the separate season-end release.

What do French licensed online returns measure?

ANJ's annual report separates online horse betting from its other gambling segments. Its financial charts use millions of euros, while player and account charts use thousands. The accompanying text distinguishes unique bettors from active accounts and examines participation across product categories. Those distinctions are retained here. The original source image also contains monthly discipline values that are not selected as additional observations. The article uses the annual series and selected composition measures without calculating a synthetic total from rounded monthly labels. The subsections move from financial flows to account activity and finally the discipline mix. Read the unit attached to each measure before comparing magnitudes: an account total and a unique-person total describe different aspects of the same reporting system.

What did French survey respondents report?

OFDT's EROPP survey provides a population perspective distinct from operator accounts. Participation percentages use an adult population denominator, while frequency and expenditure concern participants in the named activity. The source covers all channels. Its internet-use measures therefore must not be relabelled as the share of licensed online accounts. Reported expenditure quantiles describe positions in a distribution, not amounts to be summed. The risk-screening measure is also a survey estimate instead of a clinical diagnosis of individual respondents. The original frequency figure displays several gambling activities for comparison. This article selects the horse-betting series only. The accompanying subsections preserve that activity boundary when moving between adult participation, participant frequency, spending distributions and channel-use responses.

What do Germany's quarterly horse-betting returns show?

The GGL market monitor reports stakes by product and channel within its jurisdiction. Horse betting on the internet has its own row, separate from online sports betting, poker and virtual slots. The selected values retain the source's quarterly periods and million-euro units. The displayed update date identifies when this version of the table was published. The source warns that rounded components can differ from displayed totals. No annual sum or cross-product total is constructed here, and no estimate of unlicensed activity is inferred from these regulated-market figures. The reproduced table includes neighbouring product rows to retain the original context and headers. Only the internet horse-betting row supports the selected observations in this section. Read each column as a quarter, and retain the distinction between data period and update date.

Methodology and sources

Every figure on this page comes from the organisation that produced it: regulators, statistics offices, public bodies, research institutes, and companies reporting their own data or surveys. Each one links to the original report or dataset and carries its release date. Survey results keep their population and fieldwork period, and financial figures keep the measure the producer used. Figures from different producers are not added together or ranked against each other. The page is reviewed monthly and updated when a producer releases newer data.
