Effective from 1 August 2005, racing clubs can expect to receive the net profits after taxes generated from off-course betting on their own race meetings, with net profits from betting on other race meetings, favourite numbers and sweepstakes to be distributed at the discretion of Racing and Wagering Western Australia.
