What is World Pool?
World Pool is an exciting version of international commingling, combining the finest racing from around the globe with the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s (HKJC) betting operation, which boasts the deepest and most liquid pari-mutuel pools on the planet.
It is an extension of the HKJC’s commingling business on Hong Kong races, where HKJC accepts bets from overseas partners and local punters to further expand its large pari-mutuel pools.

Benefits to worldwide customers
Similar to the current practice, whereby international partners commingle into the pari-mutuel pools of local Hong Kong races, World Pool enables customers from around the globe, including Hong Kong, to commingle into selected simulcast meetings.
By pooling in wagering investments across at least 25 participating countries / regions, all customers can enjoy enlarged liquidity pools, resulting in reduced odds fluctuations and better value opportunities.
Most World Pool meetings have achieved over HK$300 million in turnover, including UK Ascot Commonwealth Cup day, UK Ascot Platinum Jubilee Stakes Day, UK Goodwood Cup Day, UAE Dubai World Cup Day and South Africa Champions Cup Day.
