Application for relaxation of entry restrictions at licensed billiard establishments

To enable more young people to access billiard sports and promote its development in Hong Kong, the LCSD has started accepting application from licensed billiard establishments since 25 February 2025 for the relaxation of entry restrictions under the Places of Amusement Regulation (Cap. 132BA). The relaxation measures include lowering the minimum age limit from 16 to 8 years old; reducing the restriction of entry hours for young patrons from the current 8pm to 10am (i.e. restriction of 14 hours per day) to a new timeframe of 11pm to 7am (8 hours per day); and permitting persons in school uniforms to enter licensed billiard establishments.

The LCSD will relax the above restrictions for licensed billiard establishments that meet relevant requirements in accordance with the existing provisions of the Places of Amusement Regulation (Cap. 132BA). The LCSD will duly process applications received, and factors to be considered include the billiard establishments' operational situation, the surrounding environment, facilities and activities within the premises, etc.
