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.
