Horse Race Betting in Pakistan

Tote betting on horses was legalized in 1979 but the sport is reportedly extremely corrupt with
races being thrown whenever it might benefit bookmakers, many of them connected to
government officials. In 1990 South Asian betting syndicates lost leverage as bookies began to
offer regular citizens betting opportunities in Pakistani rupees. The corruption continued until
culminating in the 2010 Pakistan cricket spot-fixing scandal in which resulted in criminal
convictions for 4 bookies.

Other Legal Gambling in Pakistan

Although there is no lottery in Pakistan, the Ministry of Finance offers Prize Bond drawings.
Bonds issued include Savings Account, Pensioner’s Benefit Account, Special Savings Account,
and Student Welfare Bonds among others. Prize results are offered online with multiple winners
for second and third prizes. Bonds can be purchased for as little as 100PKR (US$0.95) which
would return the first prize of about $665, or as much as 40,000PKR (US$380) with a grand
prize of nearly three-quarters of a million dollars. This is the only way most Pakistanis will ever
have a chance to get rich.
