Private gaming
A non-commercial race night may also be run under the private
gaming provisions in the Gambling Act 2005. Private gaming may only
occur in a place to which the public does not have access (a
private dwelling, hostel, hall of residence or similar
establishment).
No charge may be made for participation in private gaming (and that
includes an entrance fee or other charge for admission), nor may
any amounts be deducted from stakes or prizes. No profits can be
made from private gaming, irrespective of how the organiser
intended to use those profits and thus even if intended for
charitable purposes.

us if you have any further questions on race
nights.
