Biggest Online Casino Case Resolved

The online caisno gambling industry is not legal in every county and in fact, Asia is one of the regions where this new medium is still largely rejected. A court case that has been building over the past several months has actually found resolution and it indicates that China is taking the issue of illegal internet gambling quite seriously. According to the recent ruling and sentencing, Tam Chi-wai ran an extensive illegal internet gambling operation that included several online casinos and a network for illegally accessing internet gamblers in regions of China where gambling (let alone internet gambling) is expressly forbidden – he faces eight years in jail as well as a hefty fine.

The illegal online casinos and the gambling operation itself were based out of Myanmar as were the servers hosting the sites and the money channels to accept the bets and gambles. According to officials investigating the case, Chi-wai netted at minimum 278 million Yuan for the short time that time that the online casinos were up and operating. Investigators also concluded that the punters and gamblers bet more than 8.68 billion Yuan at the gambling sties.

Officials have never before encountered an online caisno gambling operation this extensive in Asia. The winnings were hidden among hundreds of bank accounts, the gambling sites offered thousands of gamblers access to illegal internet gambling, and as a result the Yunnann High People’ Court sentenced the Webmaster and alleged ring leader to eight years in jail and a fine of a mere 20 million Yuan – not that much if you consider the amount of money the illegal online gambling sites took in during their operation.
