China's Bank In on It
The Chinese authorities have long warned that they are really looking to crack
down on the illegal online casino gambling industry that is really strong and
prevalent throughout China despite the attempted blocks and bans. China has a
tight control over all of the information within the country and the large
amount of information and activities that are available through the internet are
not sitting well with the Chinese government. With the online casinos and
internet betting spreading throughout the country Chinese authorities have
announced content censorship and high-level filtering of the internet content is
the country’s long-term plan.
As a part of blocking these illegal gaming sites the Chinese government also
just announced that the banking system is now working with the government to
block suspect transactions and also stop processing anything related to the
illegal online casinos and betting sites. China plans to continue strongly
purging any and all gambling sites related to internet gambling – this includes
information sites, definitely the blatant online casinos and also the dozens and
dozens of rapid sites that crop up over night and are able to rapidly offer
remote and undetected gambling.
The Chinese internet gambling industry is worth billions if it were legalized,
and even illegal estimations put the total a several billion yuan that are bet
in particular. The online casinos are harder to pass by the censors, but remote
betting is a huge industry and is much harder for the Chinese authorities to
track and stop. |
