Not Remotely Done Yet
The Chinese government is very aggressively working to eliminate online casino
gambling in the country using forceful tactics out of the police force. The
government has tried several failed methods for controlling the influx of
illegal internet gambling and yet only this latest attempt has found some real
success. Basically, the threats to censor the computers in the country through
mandatory filters was met with international outrage and those plans were halted
just days before they were supposed to be implemented. Now though, this year is
focused on actual manpower to seek out all of the illegal online casinos and
eliminate the illegal gambling rings manually.
The Chinese officials announced this new policy fairly recently and have really
got right onto the threats and have been arresting illegal gambling rings right
and left. Dozens of the major online casino gambling rings have already been
found and individuals arrested. The Ministry of Public Security has noted that
the officials plan to continue all of their efforts in the coming months against
the internet gambling industry. Illegal online casino gambling is present all
throughout the country despite the government’s efforts to really stop the
industry. Police forces across China have been authorized to launch task forces
specifically seeking out the illegal gambling rings.
Another major challenge for the Chinese officials is the fact that even the
largest of the online casino gambling groups refuse to comply with the bans on
Chinese gambling. Most major software development companies, and the sites
themselves, offer targeted games in Chinese and aimed at this market. |
