Haha, blocking IPs - true to the Chinese censorship style. Just be careful, if you get a warning from any sorta gov't official local or state, I'd send them a batch of cookies, destroy the hard drive and buy a brand new one. You don't wanna get caught up over there, you may go into the dark for the next 20 years.......think Tank Man.

Article 303 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China prescribes that those who are involved in gambling, setting up casinos and making a career of gambling for profit shall be sentenced to not more than 3 years' imprisonment plus a fine. Therefore, suspects like Fu Xiangrong who embezzled hundreds of millions of yuan of public funds will be sentenced to no more than three years in jail.

I suppose that Gambling "foreigners" are simply thrown out of the country.
I know one french guy in guangzhou who fought with a chinese policeman ( of duty ) he's simply banned from the city not even the country.
According to friends chinese laws are hardcore for chinese people not so much for visitors ( unlike in thailand )
