  "I played for about two years and lost 600 thousand." Wang, 27, once participated in online gambling.

  Like many people, Wang just started with a try mentality. After losing nine out of ten bets, he set his bet on the lowest 500 yuan, always thinking that he could "get it back", so he intensified his gambling, and soon lost all his savings and began to gamble on overdraft credit cards and loans. It was not until the debt collection phone called home that it was discovered by parents and wife.

  The game played by Wang is an online gambling game called "Kuai 3", that is, three numbers are selected to carry out gambling activities by betting on "size" and guessing "singles and doubles". Behind it is run by a criminal gang called "Giant Company".

  The game is operated in a black box. Zheng, who is the technical manager of the gang, said that gambling sites can control the outcome. According to Zheng, this game can control the proportion of winning and losing through the program. For example, with 10% on the same day, on the basis of ensuring the total profit of 10%, the website can even control the results of individual figures, thus ensuring that the bookmaker will make a profit.

  The police found that this is a family-run criminal gang whose organization is in Cambodia. Due to the detailed division of labor and strict management, this gang involving 100 people operates smoothly. After investigation, the actual controllers of this criminal gang are three brothers of Fujian-Huang family, their wives, children and relatives. The Huang family managed 29 gambling sites before and after.

  There are tens of thousands of gamblers registered in gambling sites controlled by the Huang family, and the amount of bets exceeds 10 billion RMB. Among them, about 50 gamblers lost more than 500,000, and about 20 gamblers lost more than one million.

Five million RMB in cash was found in the trunk of a luxury car.

  Forwarding advertisements wantonly, the development of "offline" is amazing.

  Behind the high profits of gambling gangs is the ruin of gamblers.

  Yang, a contractor in chahar right middle banner, Inner Mongolia, once worked hard from scratch to have a small savings, bought a house and a car. But in just one month, he became penniless and even heavily in debt.

  One day in December 2018, Yang accidentally saw a game called "Poker Mystery" in the circle of friends, so he downloaded it and played it.

  This "poker puzzle" game has expanded wildly by becoming a "president". Gamblers can invite others to enter the game. As long as they pull 30 people into the game, they can become a "president" and get the corresponding commission.

  Yang gradually became obsessed with it, playing a few games as long as he had time. The amount of bets has also soared from the initial 100 yuan to thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan. The husband and wife squandered their savings for many years in a month. Not only that, he also sold all valuable things at home, such as cars and jewelry, and owed more and more debts.

  In order to become agents and get extra income, many gamblers wantonly forward advertisements in major forums and friends’ circles. According to Lu Junyi, the captain of Netan Brigade of chahar right middle banner Public Security Bureau in Inner Mongolia who participated in the case detection, criminal gangs developed gamblers through fission, and then developed gamblers into agents, who then developed gamblers. The original thousands of people have turned into 200,000 in one year.

  In the investigation, the police found that the address of the bank card involved was in Cambodia. Wei, a person involved in the case, often traveled to and from Cambodia and Tangshan. Friends and relatives around him also often went in and out of Cambodia, and there were a lot of information about bank cards. After learning that this was a cross-border online gambling case, the police closed the net at the same time in more than a dozen cities across the country.

  By the time the police closed the net, the registered number of the game had reached more than 200,000, and the daily flow had reached more than 30 million yuan. In the end, 21 major criminal suspects were arrested and 4,053 bank cards were frozen, involving more than 80 million yuan.

  Say no to online gambling!
