Chinese Police Closing Gambling Sites

According to a report from the China Daily newspaper, authorities began checking five gambling websites in 2007 that offered betting on soccer, horseracing and card games. The Bureau subsequently found that these sites had received stakes from people in ten Chinese provinces and cities.

‘We found that gang members operated the sites,” said Dao’an.

“Some of the gangs used leased servers in the United States, Singapore and the Republic Of Korea to run online gambling websites and others acted as agents for overseas gambling websites. They developed gamblers in China’s mainland for the websites.”

He revealed that 27 members of the ‘gangs’ had been given jail terms while 30 others were expected to be charged later this month.

‘Through the detection of the five cases, police found clues to another gambling gangs, which organised gamblers in casinos in Macao, Taiwan, the Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia and lent out money at high interest rates to gamblers.’
