He voiced apprehension that such an action would convey an inappropriate message to youths, possibly fostering gambling dependence. <\/p>\n<p>Despite urging from various political groups to legitimize basketball betting as a method to counter illicit gambling and enhance government income, Chan remains skeptical. He informed the South China Morning Post, &#8220;To decriminalize additional gambling activities for raising government funds\u2026 I have doubts about it. I don\u2019t believe it\u2019s the ethical course of action.&#8221;  He further stressed his worry for young people, stating that legalization could be perceived as the government overlooking gambling as a way to generate wealth.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the Hong Kong Jockey Club, a significant entity in the city&#8217;s legal gambling arena, backs the legalization proposition. They contend that fresh betting choices are necessary to rival unlawful bookmakers. The pro-Beijing Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong is among the political factions advocating for the legitimization of basketball wagering. <\/p>\n<p>City legislator Yan Wenyu proposed broadening the Hong Kong Jockey Club&#8217;s wagering options to encompass basketball and other widely enjoyed sports. This measure, he contended, would offer a secure and legitimate choice for individuals who presently engage in illicit avenues to gamble on these activities. <\/p>\n<p>In related Asian gaming developments, a novel fantasy cricket platform named &#8220;Emerald Fantasy Cricket&#8221; has debuted in Sri Lanka.  This platform enables users to assemble their own fantasy squads, vie against fellow enthusiasts, and secure rewards. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hong Kongs top financial official, Paul Chan, has dismissed requests to make basketball wagering lawful&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":86,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.8 (Yoast SEO v22.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Hong Kong Says<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Will Hong Kong legalize basketball betting?
