China will crack down on gambling on the Internet during the football World Cup and will “severely punish” anyone caught betting online, the Ministry of Public Security said in a statement on its Web site yesterday.
Law enforcement agencies have investigated more than 740 online gambling cases and arrested more than 3,600 people since starting a “strike hard” campaign against the crime in January, according to the statement. More than 700 million yuan ($102 million) has been impounded, the ministry said.
Just a friendly reminder to keep all your wagers legal and above board….
