The Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) has relaunched its ‘Charity Bet’ campaign for the 2024 Grand National, celebrating British horseracing’s marquee event.

Organised by the trade body for UK gambling, this year’s Charity Bet campaign will see “More than 50 MPs from both sides of the House visiting local betting shops to place a Charity Bet on the Grand National.”

Participating MPs will be handed £50 to back a winner of the Grand National steeplechase on Saturday, 13 April, with all winnings being donated to a charity of their choice.

The BGC seeks to surpass last year’s donation of £11,000 raised for good causes, with MPs placing bets in local betting shops across the UK.
