1. Online gambling has a wider scope of participation and the amount involved is huge.

According to statistics of relevant departments, there are currently more than 400 gambling sites in the world, with an annual turnover of 60 billion US dollars.

The national special campaign to crack down on illegal gambling activities began in June, 2005 at 5438+ 10. Among the 22 mega-gambling cases supervised by the Ministry of Public Security, there were 13 cases supported by network technology. By March 3, 2005, public security organs across the country had cracked 3 17 online gambling cases and arrested 1 137 gamblers, involving a total amount of 6,543.807 billion yuan. On June 20, 2005, Beijing police announced to the public that among the 10 gambling cases cracked in the special campaign against illegal gambling activities, online gambling cases involving gambling have accounted for half. At the same time, some online gambling cases tried by Chinese courts also highlight the above characteristics, such as: the first case of online gambling in Beijing involved 600 million yuan; The first online gambling case in Jilin Province, involving a sum of 1 10,000 yuan; The rare "1.26" mega-online gambling case tried in Zhejiang, involving more than 400 people, and the gambling capital 1 100 million yuan; The first online gambling case in Hainan, involving an amount of 6,543.8+0,000 yuan; Wait a minute.

2. There is a large outflow of domestic funds.

At present, domestic online gambling is mainly the infiltration of overseas online gambling. The top bookmakers of domestic online gambling are generally overseas. In addition to domestic bookmakers, a large number of gambling funds are remitted abroad through illegal financial institutions such as underground banks, resulting in a large loss of domestic funds. Because of this, online gambling provides great convenience for money laundering crimes.

3. Football, basketball and other domestic professional sports leagues have been severely impacted.

Due to the rapid development of online gambling in China, domestic sports leagues such as football and basketball have become the targets of online gambling activities. In order to obtain high profits, online gambling groups often control players, coaches, referees and clubs by bribery or intimidation, and manipulate matches by counterfeiting, which seriously pollutes the environment of domestic professional sports leagues and directly affects the healthy development of sports in China.

4. Seriously disrupted the financial order.

In addition to illegal lending and illegal financial institutions to transfer funds, online gambling also affects the healthy development of the stock and futures markets. Bankers who engage in online gambling activities in financial securities markets such as stocks and futures often interfere with the financial securities markets such as stocks and futures artificially in order to gain profits, resulting in bad trends or fluctuations, causing chaos and seriously disrupting the normal financial order of the country.
