Horserace Betting Levy Board

HBLB's record of operators who may be liable to pay the Levy is principally derived from records supplied by the Gambling Commission. However, it is possible for an operator to hold an Operating Licence from the Gambling Commission and not be liable to the Levy.

Only operators who carry out a business which includes the effecting of betting transactions on horse races shall be liable to pay the Levy.

Operators who do not accept bets on horse races are classified as Exempt. This status must be confirmed to HBLB each year by signing and returning a declaration to this effect. The declaration of Exemption is contained within the annual Form of Declaration.
