As a result of such campaigns, cross-border gambling activities were curbed5, 30 foreign gambling branches in China closed down, and 19 underground banks destroyed. 102 foreign casinos set at the areas bordering China were forced to close their business. In addition, Chinese police also gave a heavy blow to online gambling activities. 2,174 websites involved in online gambling were closed. Many large online gambling cases, including the “Dec 23” soccer gambling case in Beijing, were uncovered. Some companies that involved in online gambling activities, including the Baoying Company in Taiwan, were destroyed. Illegal lottery sale was also curbed.
