China to crack down on Internet gambling

[nitro]

That's the 5th time he is trying to cause disruption and nothing else - but he lacks the balls to post this response it in the thread with the higher post count.

Nitro, I agree with Caruso that you have gone out of your way to stir things up a bit here, but at this time I am asking BOTH you and Caruso stop baiting each other.

It is quite interesting that you do in fact have such a history of getting into flame wars with many at other boards, and we will most certainly NOT tolerate long lists of different usernames to circumvent policy here, but as long as that does NOT happen and you remain respectful to others then your posts are welcome here.

At this point I request that you refrain from getting into discussion about this further here in the forums, and allow this thread to get back on track.

It's actually a little more complicated than just "flame wars" but it shouldn't matter here so as long as caruso doesn't interrupt anymore things should be back on track.

China never said gambling is legal since 1949, but he players never stop playing. That’s why the Chinese marketing is one of the biggest of the world. Most of the companies do not know how to make this special marketing. Because they do not understand Chinese and Chinese people, they only want use the way how they are making the marketing of the western couriers.

I have only one question regarding this:
Is Macau outside China? Then how come Casino business is swelling in Macau, China? Macau is considered as the most happening Casino Hub of the modern times.

Why is China taking double standards regarding gambling? Online gambling and land-based gambling play the same role. Then why on earth are they cracking on online gambling only?

Same reason US laws were hi-jacked on the downlow.

Simple really..the Chinese govt doesn't get a kickback from online gambling...only land based gambling nets them any money!!

It's always about the Benjamins....

Actually, China prohibits gambling. However, Macau is an autonomous region until 2047, and thus the Chinese government cannot do anything about it.

Sorry for my bad englis language. But Macau - is former Portugal colony, like Hong Kong. Macau have his own law. Like Hong Kong - this is state inside state.

Then they better have a common law of Macau and HK in Mainland China or apply the mainland china law to Macau and HK.

OR
all the online gambling companies have to shift their base to Macau and HK.

Macau is a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. It was administered by Portugal for 442 years, until its handover to China in 1999. The Basic Law of the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, was adopted by the National People's Congress on 31 March 1993 as the constitutional law for Macau, taking effect on 20 December 1999. The PRC has promised that, under its “one country, two systems” formula, China's socialist economic system will not be practiced in Macau and that Macau will enjoy a high degree of autonomy in all matters except foreign and defense affairs until at least 2049, fifty years after the handover. So Macau is the only free area for gambling in China.

Yes you are right, then there is only one solution for the foreigners coming to China : Stay and start your branch in Macau.
So you will have all the benefits including the use of online sites like facebook, blogger, twitter, digg etc.
