Sending a Clear Message

China is sending a clear message to the online casino gambling industry this month as the trials of twenty accused of running a gambling ring are now in their sentencing phase. Although the internet gambling industry in China is a highly coveted market, the Chinese government is not really budging on its restrictions against the pastime. Land gambling is a different matter altogether, but gambling at the online casinos is strictly forbidden, as it betting through the internet and really any for of gambling that takes place through the Internet. China’s gambling ring bust yielded twenty individuals that were apparently directly connected with running the illegal gambling ring since 2006 until their arrest.

Online casino gambling, especially when it is done under the radar of the government, is extremely lucrative. Gambling rings that operate in countries like China often make bundles of money because they are not paying taxes on their money and there is no one checking to ensure that the odds they offer to their gamblers are fair and honest. That is one of the reasons that China is so solidly cracking down on online casinos and internet gambling rings operating in the country – they are very appealing for criminals in the short term.

The trials though are now in their sentencing phase and those involved in the online caisno gambling ring are looking at facing jail terms as a long as six years. There are still some waiting for their sentences but already one of the ring leaders got the maximum of six years – the least any of the twenty will receive is a one-year term.
