SCMP Reporter

Punters looking to wager on the first European soccer game of the season via the telephone or internet still have time to do so by setting up an account with the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

They can apply in person at one of 116 Jockey Club betting branches. Alternatively, they can download an application form from www.hkjcfootball.com and return it by mail.

Applicants must be 18 years or older, a permanent Hong Kong resident and have a bank account. The minimum balance to start an account is $300. Once an account is set up, there are several options for placing a bet: by calling a live operator, via the internet, or text message.

For more information, go to www.hkjcfootball.com.
