A few days ago, Chinese citizens in South Korea reported to our library that they lost a huge amount of property by gambling in local casinos, which caused heavy losses and taught us a profound lesson! The Chinese Embassy in South Korea solemnly reminds the majority of Chinese citizens in South Korea to firmly establish legal awareness and stay away from gambling.

Understand and abide by the law, and recognize the illegality of cross-border gambling. Gambling is strictly prohibited in China's laws. The amendment to the Criminal Law has formally criminalized cross-border gambling and severely cracked down on illegal and criminal activities of cross-border gambling. Even if overseas casinos are opened legally, our citizens' cross-border gambling is also suspected of violating our laws and may be held accountable according to law. For illegal acts, the embassy or consulate may not be able to provide consular protection.

Clean up and recognize the dangers of cross-border gambling. "Ten gambles, ten frauds", "ten gambles, ten losses", people who are engaged in gambling will be burdened with gambling debts and lose all their money, while those who are engaged in gambling will be separated from their families and lose their lives. Cross border gambling may also bring risks such as fraud, money laundering, kidnapping and detention, trafficking and smuggling.

The Ministry of Public Security of China has opened a comprehensive reporting platform for combating and managing cross-border gambling. If you have any clue about Chinese citizens opening or operating casinos abroad, organizing to solicit Chinese citizens to gamble abroad or participate in cross-border online gambling, you are welcome to report through the following ways:

1. Log in to the "Comprehensive Reporting Platform for Combating and Managing Cross border Gambling" of the Ministry of Public Security to report (URL: http://dbjb.mps.gov.cn )。

2. Send an email to the reporting mailbox 110@interpol.gov.cn

3. Send fax to 010-6626-1404 for reporting.

4. Follow the WeChat official account of "Reject cross-border gambling" and enter the online window of "I want to report" to report.
