5,000 yuan can build a gambling website,
"the banker has the final say" about winning or losing
In Cambodia, Jiahui (pseudonym) has been engaged in "Spinach Bureau" for more than a month. Jiahui told reporters that their daily job is to chat with girls and trick them into entering the game.
The gambling game that Ka Fai refers to is a scam that occurs on gambling websites, and the word gambling is a homophone. According to Jiahui, the threshold for practitioners in gambling bureaus is not high. Some gambling websites are customized by someone, and some are made from purchased source code (gambling websites).
The reporter got in touch with De Que (pseudonym), a shop owner who engages in website development and website building business. When the reporter asked if he could make a gambling website, the other party sent the reporter a WeChat ID, saying “Add WeChat to discuss in detail.”
“All-inclusive package for 5,000 yuan, including server (lease), domain name, after-sales maintenance, etc.” In De Que’s circle of friends, the reporter found a number of short videos and transfer records of gambling websites that had been prepared.
De Que revealed that the servers of gaming websites are generally rented from Hong Kong and can accommodate dozens of people online at the same time. "If you need a larger server configuration, you will have to pay more. A server that costs 1,500 yuan per month can accommodate hundreds of people (online at the same time)."

Subsequently, the turnover in each game is also greater. "There are no chips in my hand, and I don't feel like betting. I feel red when I lose. Money is just a number." Long Xiang said.
Although the live video function allows website operators to control the lottery to a certain extent, this does not mean that gamblers can win money. "The live video functions of most websites are purchased from AG interfaces (Note: AG, an entertainment city in Southeast Asia), but all players' wins and losses are yours," said Deque.
What should gamblers do if they really win money? "There is no way to lose when you are sitting on the bank. Win or lose is all yours. The money recharged by the player is given to you. Whether you compensate him or not is your own business." Deque said, "The money is in your hand, you said it Calculate.”

“Gambling is like drowning, you can’t cry out for help”
html In early July, Mengxi came to the police station in a certain jurisdiction of Jincheng City, Shanxi Province to report the crime and made a record. On August 22, a reporter from the Beijing News called the police station. The policeman on duty, surnamed Zhao, said that the case had been opened for investigation.
On the evening of August 21, Jiahui told the Beijing News reporter that he had asked for his passport back and was about to return to China after completing his resignation.
Police officer Zhao told the Beijing News reporter that it is difficult to detect such cases. "There are many ways to launder money now, which are often difficult to track."
"Online gambling has multiple links such as traffic diversion, payment, technical services, agents, etc. In order to avoid our domestic offline crackdowns, these gambling gangs have basically moved to Cambodia, Vietnam and Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries, said Shi Xiuyun.
“Due to the fact that most of the traders are overseas and operate in a corporate manner, it is difficult for the police to solve the case and collect evidence. Moreover, illegal activities are mostly fermented on the Internet and are highly concealed. The victims also have gambling elements and have profit-making intentions. After suffering losses, There is little tendency to report crimes," said Zhou Hao, a lawyer at Beijing Weiheng Law Firm. "This industry chain actually involves multiple illegal and criminal issues, such as the crime of gambling , the crime of opening a casino, the crime of fraud, the crime of infringing on citizens' personal information, . The crime of illegal use of information network, the crime of assisting information network criminal activities, etc. "
Zhou Hao also pointed out that "Article 47 of the "Network Security Law" stipulates that network operators should strengthen the management of information released by their users. If operators discover information that is prohibited from being released or transmitted by laws or administrative regulations, they should immediately stop transmitting the information, take disposal measures such as elimination, prevent the spread of the information, keep relevant records, and report to the relevant competent authorities. "
Zhou Hao believes," Regulatory authorities should timely crack down, strengthen supervision, and at the same time enhance the collaborative response capabilities of multiple departments; victims should also increase their awareness of anti-fraud and anti-gambling; online platforms need to increase the review of information content posted by users and block relevant information. "
Long Xiang, an anti-gambling expert. (pseudonym) pointed out that many people were trapped in gambling bureaus and carried huge debts, and were forced to embark on the road of gambling to turn themselves around. "These people often have hundreds of thousands or even millions of debts on them. It is difficult for them to get over in other situations, and gambling naturally becomes the only way out. Some people even know that this thing is a scam, but they still have delusions. Relying on gambling to get over. Gambling is like drowning. You can’t cry out for help.
