I'm afraid that the hottest news in this period is the football World Cup. Many of them are not only watching the ball, but also buying lottery tickets. Where are the World Cup football lotteries bought? Yesterday, the country started to close some lottery platforms, which was originally a carnival sports event all over the world, so it's not good to become a gambling game.
The reporter saw on the free list of app store that the ranking of Internet lottery app has changed a lot, and there are few related apps in the forward list. Now, there are three Internet lottery companies in the top ten apps. In addition, in the hot search, the Internet lottery app is also on the list.
So, in the context of the world cup, the Internet lottery is still very hot.
But are these apps compliant?
In fact, as early as the end of the 2014 Brazil World Cup, the Internet lottery business has suffered a major policy blow. The State General Administration of sport issued the notice of the General Administration of sport on implementing the special audit opinions on lottery funds and strengthening the management of sports lottery, which proposed that we should carry out self inspection and self correction in depth, carry out rectification according to law, and thoroughly clean up and rectify the illegal use of Internet to sell lottery tickets. In 2016, the Ministry of finance again jointly issued a civilized and definite request to prohibit lottery issuing and selling agencies and their agents from using the Internet to sell lottery tickets without authorization. The Ministry of finance, the Ministry of civil affairs and the State General Administration of sports clearly require the Internet lottery to stop selling for rectification.
The Internet lottery, which has been brought hot by the world cup, is frozen again. Nowadays, the Internet lottery still hasn't been lifted.
Although it is still banned, there are still Internet lottery apps that are not banned. A reporter from CCTV recently called an app customer service called "new lottery". The other side said that they booked tickets through the Internet. They asked where they got the tickets and could they see the physical tickets? The other side said that it was a trade secret. The interface news reporter recently saw in a wechat group that a user said that an Internet lottery company had recently invited users to bet in the private chain when the app store had not been audited.
But we haven't seen any further action from the giants during the ban period. According to titanium media reports, Ali Taobao, Tmall, Alipay, WeChat did not see the relevant cash lottery bidding entry, Tmall and WeChat just went online to watch the guessing game to win red packets. The four portals and other content-based and entertainment apps can't see the relevant entry and action and related topic preheating.
Although Netease lottery ranked top in the app store, when the reporter opened the app to try to buy one of the football lottery, he found that it would jump to the app of Tiantian love lottery, lottery Fudi. In other words, Netease lottery does not support direct purchase.
At the world cup in Brazil four years ago, many small white users bought lottery tickets from the ports of wechat and Taobao. Beijing Youth Daily once predicted that the annual sales of Taobao lottery sales platform would not be less than 6 billion yuan.
Although the date of lifting the ban seems to be far away after the Internet lottery stopped selling in 2015, the giants still seem to be optimistic about the future of Internet lottery.
