Sino-Singapore Jingwei, November 25th (Chang Tao) Since the opening of the World Cup, Mr. Wan, the owner of the one lottery outlet in Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, has been busy every night without touching the ground.
Ordering, taking photos, replying to WeChat, and collecting money, there is a pile of printed lottery tickets on the table in front of him.
"It's all neighbors I know nearby, and they all pay online."
However, no matter how busy he is, Mr. Wan will immediately send a sentence to the other party after collecting the money:
Buy lottery rationally and stay away from gambling; gambling is gambling, and it has nothing to do with football.
"If you buy more than 1,000 yuan, I will let you out"
The reason for dissuading large lottery buyers and reminding them to stay away from gambling is because Mr. Wan has heard too many tragedies caused by gambling from "people in the circle".
"You want to get rich from gambling? What are you thinking! It's all 'technology and hard work', brother!" Mr. Wan said, "The most exciting thing is the gambling website when there are upsets on the field."
Mr. Wan's lottery outlet is in the small supermarket he runs, which is usually not busy.
"It's not because of the 'unpopularity' of the World Cup. There are obviously more people buying lottery tickets in the past two days, and they joked that 'lottery tickets are bought backwards, and villas are near the sea'."
The "unpopularity" mentioned by Mr. Wan refers to the recent two Asian teams that beat the strong teams by surprise. Japan won the German "chariot" and Saudi Arabia won Argentina.
This unexpected result has inspired some people's "enthusiasm" to participate in the World Cup by buying lottery tickets, and some people even have a "gambling" mentality of "betting hard and earning a lot of money".
Mr. Wan has also encountered such customers.
"Although there is no specific clause saying how much money cannot be exceeded, generally someone buys more than
I won't sell it for 1,000 yuan, and let him go out and buy it elsewhere.
If you invest so much in buying lottery tickets, I doubt your purpose.
However, very few people will spend more than 1,000 yuan to bet on the World Cup, and everyone still focuses on experiencing the sense of participation.
"Mr. Wan said.
Lawyers analyze the money-making routines of illegal gambling platforms
Meng Bo, a lawyer from Beijing Jingshi Law Firm, told Sino-Singapore Jingwei that in China, the only legally issued lotteries are the China Sports Lottery and the China Welfare Lottery, both of which are approved and authorized by the State Council and belong to the National Public Welfare Lottery.
Specific to the current World Cup events, related to this, only the Chinese sports lottery issued by the state is a legal lottery.
"Besides, other lotteries seen in China, no matter what type, channel, or promise of high odds, are all illegal lotteries, so don't buy them." Meng Bo reminded that
during the World Cup, gambling is often illegal During the active period of the platform, they attract people through social platforms, use third-party software to guide online betting, and then use various routines such as black-box operations to make a lot of money, making punters lose their money.
According to public reports, the bookmakers and actuaries of these illegal gambling platforms will use various data to calculate the most favorable handicap and odds, and then use high odds to attract people to bet. If the two teams bet unbalanced, The handicap will be adjusted at any time, and the loser's money will be taken away for commission.
In addition to black-box operations, these illegal gambling platforms may themselves be scams. When you bet a large amount of real money and withdraw cash after winning, you may find various bugs. Not only can you not get the money out, but the social platform is also blocked. Full of "technology and hard work".
And because most of these "black dealers" are overseas, it is very difficult to obtain evidence and investigate and deal with them.
Recently, the police also revealed a betting scam involving World Cup matches.
During the World Cup, a large number of betting websites with the World Cup as a gimmick and similar to the official website of the World Cup appeared on the Internet, which advertised that the website was the designated betting website for the World Cup, but it was actually a fraudulent website.
Be wary of playing mentality
On the 24th, the website of the National Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection issued a document, listing a number of gambling-related cases, emphasizing the need to eradicate the living soil of unhealthy tendencies such as gambling.
According to the article, during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, a public official who was involved in gambling registered an account on a gambling website with the mentality of "playing around". All savings, lost the house, and owed high gambling debts.
In order to repay the debt, he began to actively contact the parties suspected of traffic violations at work, and collected "favor fees" in the name of helping them avoid revoking their driver's licenses, etc., and illegally received more than 600,000 yuan in money.
In February of this year, the "post-80s" cadre was sentenced to two years and four months in prison for accepting bribes and fined 150,000 yuan.
Meng Bo also reminded that when it comes to gambling, one should be especially vigilant against the so-called "playing" mentality.
"Gambling starts with small bets, and then gradually becomes addicted. If you taste the sweetness, you want to win more, and if you lose money, you want to get back your money. In the end, you get stuck in the game." Meng Bo emphasized that gambling is not only illegal but also suspected of crime. The severity of the circumstances is regulated by the "Public Security Management Punishment Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China" respectively.
Sino-Singapore Jingwei noticed that the public security organs in many places have also issued reminders recently,
calling on netizens to stay away from online gambling, and some video websites have also taken measures to ban accounts involved in gambling diversion.
However, considering that these diversion accounts are also active during non-World Cup periods, the platform should strengthen daily bans and inspections.
Lawyers also reminded that if netizens realize that they have purchased illegal lottery tickets, they must withdraw in time and keep relevant evidence, including transfer vouchers, purchase links, physical evidence, etc., for future litigation and rights protection.
In addition, consumers should not believe the false promises of the platform, and do not recharge in large amounts on the platform to prevent major losses.
If you find illegal lottery sales, you can report to the National Sports Lottery Center or log on to the official website of the Ministry of Public Security.
