Over 100 Hong Kong Gamblers Arrested for World Cup Betting
Filed in archive Betting on June 26, 2006
The Hong Kong Jockey Club controls all betting in Hong Kong and in 2003 legalised football betting - as long as it was made through them alone.
Since the world cup has started, over 100 people have been arrested for illegal gambling with more than $US 6.4 million seized from over 50 operators. Macau has seen a similar number of illegal betting outlets - with over $US 12 million in betting slips being seized
Legal soccer gambling was introduced in this gambling-mad southern Chinese territory in 2003 in a bid to drive underground bookmakers out of business.
