  Recently, under the unified command of the Ministry of Public Security, the Public Security Bureau of Heilongjiang Province successfully detected an extremely large cross-border online gambling case, seized nearly 15,000 bank cards involved, arrested 147 criminal suspects, and successfully implemented the capital chain, technology chain, and promotion. The "full chain" blows of streaming and gambler streaming.

  In March 2019, the police of the Public Security Bureau of Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province found out that there were gamblers in the area participating in gambling on the "Warner International" and "Yuxiang International" gambling websites.

  The investigation found that these two gambling websites carried out gambling activities by broadcasting live images of physical casinos. The website servers were set up in physical casinos. The main gambling methods were "baccarat", "dragon tiger fighting" and "niu bull".

Online gamblers and live gamblers share the same table. Wins and losses are settled based on the results of physical casinos. The chip exchange ratio is 1:1 the same as that of physical casinos.

  The Mudanjiang Public Security Bureau immediately set up a task force to concentrate its efforts on investigation.

After investigation, "Warner International" and "Yuxiang International" entertainment companies are all overseas entity gaming companies, attracting a large number of Chinese gamblers to participate in gambling through the Internet.

The two websites have developed more than 40,000 agents, more than 300,000 members, and monthly betting volume of several billion yuan.

  Due to the complexity and large scale of the case, the Ministry of Public Security listed the case as a special case for supervision in December 2019.

  In the investigation and evidence collection work that lasted for a year, the task force took a break and uncovered the full picture of the "technical chain" in this cross-border online gambling case.

  According to the police, the two overseas gambling groups have hired technology companies to develop gambling websites and provide network maintenance services for them.

In order to avoid the attack, the technology company deployed the core server of the gambling website inside the overseas physical casino. At the same time, in order to better satisfy the online gambler's gambling experience, it also adopted video acceleration service technology to reduce the video transmission delay.

  After in-depth investigation, the task force mastered a company named "Dayun Technology" to provide technology research and development and maintenance for "Warner International".

According to Mr. Han, the person in charge of the company, the company was funded and established by overseas casinos, specifically developing websites and mobile phone applications for overseas gambling groups.

  On May 11, 2020, with the cooperation of the Chengdu police in Sichuan, the task force successfully arrested all the employees involved in the case of "Dayun Technology" who had been renamed "Chengdu Jinan Tiancheng Technology Co., Ltd.".

  The "Yuxiang International" gambling group directly funded Chinese Zhu to establish its own technology research and development company, called Sichuan Qiante Technology Co., Ltd.

In order to complete the development of the gambling website as soon as possible, Zhu led 5 key members to smuggle overseas casino entities to investigate and learn gambling rules.

  On June 3, 2020, with the cooperation of the Chengdu police, the task force successfully arrested all the employees involved in the case of "Sichuan Qiante Technology Co., Ltd.".

  While investigating and cracking down on the "technical chain", the task force conducted an in-depth analysis and carried out precise crackdowns on the "Warner International" and "Yuxiang International" cross-border online gambling criminals and capital chains.

In Guangxi, Hainan, Sichuan, Fujian, Guizhou and other places, a total of 147 persons involved in the case of "Warner International" and "Yuxiang International" were arrested, and nearly 15,000 bank cards involved were seized.

  According to the police, although my country has continued to increase its crackdown on online gambling in recent years, driven by huge economic interests, some overseas gambling groups are still fighting against the trend and continue to lure Chinese citizens out of the country or participate in online gaming operations services. , Or provide illegal services such as capital circulation and technical operation and maintenance for them, and continue to solicit Chinese citizens to leave the country or participate in online gambling.

  In this case, it was found that more than 200 casino customer service personnel, all of Chinese nationality, smuggled out of the country through relatives or friends' introduction, and became gambling practitioners.

At the same time, the casino also organized a large number of Chinese customer services to rent or purchase a large number of bank cards from their relatives and friends for money laundering activities.

  The police solemnly reminded that the above behavior has violated Chinese law.

At present, the public security organs focus their attacks on not only the financial owners and shareholders of overseas gambling groups who bet against me, but also a large number of cross-border gambling practitioners and illegal capital and technical service groups.

Here, the police urge criminal suspects related to cross-border gambling to recognize the situation, cherish opportunities, retreat from the precipice, voluntarily surrender within the prescribed time limit, and strive for leniency. If they refuse to surrender and continue to commit crimes, they will be severely punished by law.
