Reading Time: < 1 minute

China has strengthened its efforts to combat online gambling, which includes the creation of an online blacklist and increased scrutiny of financial transactions.

China’s Ministry of Public Security has held a meeting on combatting “cross-border gambling” at which Minister Zhao Kezhi called on officials to investigate “a number of major cases” of internationally-based online gambling operators serving Chinese customers in order to “completely destroy a group of criminal organizations.”

Zhao added that it was “necessary to establish a ‘blacklist’ system for participating in gambling and employees and overseas tourist destinations.”

The ministry also seeks to “strengthen the ‘fund chain’ and ‘technical chain’ governance measures and resolutely cut off the channels for the circulation of gambling funds.”
