Vietnam Police and Ministry of Public Security have deported 35 Chinese nationals, four women and 31 men, for organising online gambling activities in Da Nang City. The authorities have handed over the deportees to Chinese police at Mong Cai border gate.

The Chinese group told the police that they were part of an organisation in China and received orders to build a transnational ring to organise online gambling in order to avoid detection by Chinese authorities.

Vietnam has legalised sports betting in 2017 and allows people aged over 21 with a monthly income of at least VND10 million ($445) to play in a casino in the southern Phu Quoc Island on a pilot basis. But, online gambling still remains illegal in Vietnam.
