From the BBC NEWS: “Chinese police have arrested nearly 600 people in 22 provinces as part of their crackdown on gambling, the official China Daily newspaper reported.
Police raided two online gambling rings, one of them Taiwan-based, which they suspect may have handled bets worth as much as $60m (£32.1m).
Gambling is illegal in China, but is increasingly popular online and in casinos just across China’s borders.”
