Chinese Authorities Crack Down on Online Casinos

05 Jul 2006

Although many countries have not decided yet on their approach to online casinos and online gambling, the Chinese government has a very clear answer for the online casinos question - a definite 'no'. Gambling is forbidden in China ever since the Communists took over in 1949, and online casinos are regarded as gambling. Although online casinos are popular in China and many gambling firms are trying to break into that market, China's government does not like its citizens to gamble and work to stop it.

For the past few years, Chinese Police has been working very hard to bring down several online casinos gambling operations in the country, and recently cracked down on one of the largest online casinos ring in the country. The online casinos operation ran online soccer bets and took advantage of World Cup fever that has been driving the country insane. The site is estimated to be worth more than $125 million and had more than 2000 registered gamblers from across China.

The internet has evolved tremendously in China and it's currently the second largest population connected to the internet, after the United States. Online casinos and online gambling has become very popular across the country, and Chinese authorities are working to stop it from spreading. In 2004, Chinese Police stopped a huge online casinos syndicate that was reported of making more than $1.7 billion in one month.
