Horserace Betting and Olympic Lottery Act 2004

The Horserace Betting and Olympic Lottery Act 2004 (c. 25) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

Provisions

Horse racing

The act allowed for the sale of the Horserace Totalisator Board (Tote) to Betfred which had certain conditions. The sale of the Tote was delayed due to a European Commission investigation and the 2008 financial crisis.
