Originally, Depu was a common poker game, but the reporter found that the poker circle, Texas appointment, wechat Depu and poker tribe downloaded from Xiao Li's mobile phone were not so simple. These four apps can be downloaded at will on the apple store and Android platform, but some are defined as' frequent and strong simulated gambling games', some are directly defined as' gambling and competition '.

Clubs can make millions of dollars a month by pumping water

In the investigation, the reporter found that there are various player clubs in these mobile application platforms with gambling nature. When players gamble, these clubs will charge a certain service fee to make profits, which is called "pumping". And some so-called players' clubs, only by 'pumping' can enter millions of a month.

On April 10, the data of players' winning and losing at table 82 of the city hero club on the Texas convention platform showed that a player named "12 hours a day" made a total profit of 11600 yuan in less than two hours, and a player named "dream flying" lost 12000 yuan.

The app platform makes profits by collecting player service fees

These player clubs make money by drawing money from players. How can mobile application platforms make money?

Reporters found that in any platform players want to participate in gambling must buy platform gold coins, and each player into the club to participate in gambling, the platform will charge a service fee, every two hours charge two yuan. This means that the more players participate, the longer they play, the more money the platform will charge.

Reporters found that almost every app has about a thousand clubs. Each club can open 76 tables a day or more than 300 tables a day. Take the 'Poker circle' app for example, it can open more than 1000 rooms every day, forming a huge situation of nearly 10000 people gambling together! Such a number is shocking.

Legal experts say that in online poker gambling, players, clubs and platforms all violate the law, and players and clubs will be detained or sentenced depending on the seriousness of the circumstances.

In response, Jiao Yang, a Beijing Zhongjian law firm, said that in Ming Dynasty, when he knew that someone was using its platform to engage in gambling, but did not take corresponding measures to stop it, and also indirectly and directly profited from it, the online platform was suspected of constituting the crime of opening casinos. Even if the platform claims that it does not know what happened, it will still bear corresponding legal liabilities.

With the development of the Internet, there are many varieties of online gambling, and online gambling is more covert, which makes the supervision in trouble. In fact, with the introduction of the regulations on the management of information services for mobile Internet applications, the relevant departments have been making great efforts to rectify online gambling. Since last year, the Ministry of public security has mainly supervised and directly directed the detection of 135 major cross-border online gambling cases, arrested more than 5300 people involved in the cases and frozen more than 6 billion yuan of funds involved in the cases.
