Bank cards frozen by online gambling are usually unsealed in a few days, depending on the situation:

1. If the bank card is temporarily frozen because it involves online gambling, the public security organ will investigate the flow of the bank card and determine that the bank card does not involve online gambling, then the public security organ will unfreeze the bank card within 36-72 hours;

2. The bank card is frozen by the people's court because of online gambling, and it needs to actively cooperate with the trial of the case until the case is closed or revoked. The freezing period is generally 6 months to 12 months.

Legal basis: Article 243rd of the Procedures for Handling Criminal Cases by Public Security Organs.

The time limit for freezing deposits, remittances, securities trading settlement funds, futures deposits and other property is six months. The maximum period of each freeze shall not exceed six months.

For major and complicated cases, with the approval of the person in charge of the public security organ at or above the municipal level, the time limit for freezing deposits, remittances, securities trading settlement funds, futures deposits and other property can be one year. The maximum period of each freeze shall not exceed one year.

Article 246

For frozen bonds, stocks, fund shares and other properties, the parties concerned or their legal representatives or entrusted agents shall be informed of the right to apply for the sale.

The obligee's written application to sell frozen bonds, stocks, fund shares and other properties does not harm the interests of the state, victims and other obligees, and does not affect the normal progress of litigation. If the validity of frozen bills of exchange, promissory notes and checks is about to expire, they can be sold or sold according to law with the approval of the person in charge of the public security organ at or above the county level, and the proceeds will continue to be frozen in their corresponding bank accounts; If there is no corresponding bank account, the proceeds shall be deposited in a special account designated by the public security organ in the bank, and the parties concerned or their close relatives shall be informed in time.

What are the methods to unseal bank cards?

1. Call the customer service of the issuing bank to unseal it. In case of overdue, you can call the bank customer service to explain the situation and apply for unsealing;

2. Provide coupons for unsealing. If the card is blocked due to suspected cashing, you only need to provide a valid consumption voucher to the bank to unblock the card;

3. Apply for a new card to be unsealed. Apply for a new card with different card types and apply for unsealing. Old cards are usually unsealed;

4. The consumption abroad is unsealed. When the card has overseas transactions, the card will be blocked for the security of the card. At this time, as long as I confirm the transaction, I can automatically unseal it.

5. Pay off debts and unseal. If the card is blocked due to overdue, after paying off the arrears, call customer service to explain the reasons for overdue. As long as the overdue situation is not serious, customer service can help unblock the card.
