In an online-gambling cracking spree that is continuing even after the football World Cup, Police in China’s Jiangsu Province have arrested 23 people in connection with illegal online betting. The betting racket allegedly dealt with money over 4.2 billion yuan (626 million U.S. dollars).

The police seised 33 servers and more than 40 mobile phones and froze 65 bank accounts.

Police acted after an advertisement for an online gambling website caught their attention. The probe revealed the existence of an online gambling gang, spreading across ten provinces and regions in China and with technical support in the Philippines. The case is under further investigation.
