Re: Poker in China
I was under the impression it's completely illegal in china and you can't play at all.
This is just 2nd hand info, I never looked into it. |

Re: Poker in China
Offshore online gambling is technically illegal in mainland China.
PartyPoker (PartyGaming) is voluntarily blocking itself from China while it negotiates for a license with the Ministry of Finance and the China Welfare Lottery adminstration. The China Ministry of Information Industry (MoII) is blocking IP traffic to 888.com (Pacific Poker) because 888.com got a little bit too aggressive with its ambush marketing last Autumn when 888.com signed Mandarin Chinese-speaking snooker sensation Ding Junhui (who competes in the UK) to a sponsorship contract and 888.com launched a version of its website in Simplified Chinese. FullTilt, PokerStars, UB, etc. are all currently "flying under the radar" so they are not being blocked by the MoII. |

Re: Poker in China
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.

[/ QUOTE ] 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 ) |
