Online gambling has a transaction volume of over 100 million in one month, and it is specially designed to pull acquaintances into the water.

　　The curtain of the World Cup opens.

　　A new model of online gambling: to help acquaintances get into the water to make up for losses.

　　The bars are bustling at night, and the sound of glasses colliding is very lively. Bosses should be glad that the World Cup has brought good business and popularity again.

　　It’s not just beer that does business, but also online gambling. Although the crackdown on online gambling in China has made "agents" no longer "give away" websites and user names and passwords in bars unscrupulously, and no longer openly give away hundreds of dollars of "initial funds", on the Internet, the so-called "gambling websites" are still selling vigorously: 24-hour betting and 1-hour receipt …

　　The Beijing police never slackened. With the start of the World Cup, another online gambling case was uncovered, and the relevant people were "lifted" out of the water.

　　The World Cup in South Africa is in full swing, and countless fans are immersed in the four-year football feast to appreciate the charm of competition. Behind the passion of civilization, around football, the most concerned ball game, a gambling activity with winning or losing the game as the betting object is gradually heating up.

　　A few days ago, the reporter learned from the Beijing police that in order to curb the development momentum of such illegal and criminal acts, the Beijing police launched a special campaign to crack down on pornography and gambling drugs in April, which has achieved initial results and destroyed 90 gambling gangs for profit. Among them, the Internet has become a gambling position that cannot be underestimated.

　　"On this website, the amount of bets in February this year was as high as 170 million yuan." Recently, Xuanwu police in Beijing revealed to the reporter of Legal Daily the inside story of the operation of an online gambling website recently cracked by them. "This gambling website named’ Jinsha’ is completely a pyramid scheme of stealing teachers, and its marketing chain is extremely secret."

　　Simple website mode, hidden gambling, and various "promotions" to attract members to join.

　　On February 3rd this year, the Cyber Security Department of Beijing Public Security Bureau found that a suspect in Xuanwu District, as a "super shareholder" of a gambling website, organized a large number of domestic people to conduct online gambling through an overseas gambling sites, and the amount of gambling funds involved was huge.

　　Through further investigation, investigators found that gambling sites, named "Jinsha", was engaged in illegal gambling activities in China with the help of the platform of overseas gambling websites and synchronized with overseas gambling websites. In order to avoid the blow, the "Jinsha" website is very concealed. Open the homepage of the website without any words about gambling, just a simple user name and password login block. However, this user name and password on "Jinsha" can not be easily obtained by registering or paying publicly like ordinary websites. The only way is to become a member through an acquaintance.

　　Although you become a member, you can participate in the betting on the "Jinsha" website, but this is only the first step to participate in this online gambling organization.

　　According to the rules of "Jinsha" website, ordinary members have an upper limit for each bet when they first join the club. With the continuous increase of the total number of successful transactions of members, the credit line obtained will continue to increase, and the upper limit of betting will continue to rise. In this way of "promotion", "Jinsha" and similar websites often let gamblers get deeper and deeper.

　　In addition, in order to attract gamblers to participate, "Jinsha" website adopts the method of virtual betting. That is to say, the bet is only virtual, and it is really necessary to wait until the result of one or several rounds of gambling is "settled" before the settlement and cash delivery are needed. And the biggest "benefit" of this operation is that it makes it possible for those gamblers who are short of money and are lucky to get rich to participate in gambling activities.

　　"Pyramid" structure, the banker is sure to make a profit.

　　According to the criminal suspect’s account, the operation mode of "Jinsha" gambling sites is very similar to the pyramid structure of pyramid marketing: based on an overseas Internet gambling sites, from "super shareholder" to "pyramid" gambling participants of different levels, such as "shareholder", "general agent" and "agent", to form a well-structured criminal gang, and on this basis, an online gambling casino for football matches is set up with the help of the platform of overseas gambling sites to develop.

　　As gambling sites, the main profit of "Jinsha" comes from what they call "water money".

　　The operation mode of "Jinsha" website is completely synchronized with gambling sites in other countries or regions that allow gambling. The domestic activities are only to develop offline gambling and then draw commission. The bookmakers of foreign betting companies will comprehensively consider the collected information of the clubs of both sides of the game, including the main injuries, internal upper management, capital operation, the status of the main players, and the number of bets made by the lottery players, etc., and work out the comprehensive gap between the two teams in this game, and according to this gap, work out the coefficient of profit and loss of the gamblers on both sides, which is often called "odds" by gamblers.

　　"The formulation of’ odds’ must be based on the premise that gaming companies can make a profit from it." The case-handling personnel told reporters that, for example, both sides bet on 100 yuan, assuming the odds are "2", then the winner should get twice as much money as the bet, that is, 200 yuan. But as a gambling company, the odds will only be set at "1.9" at most, and the remaining 10 yuan money will be taken away as the banker’s "water money". Therefore, in this process, only the bookmakers are sure to make a profit.

　　According to the police investigation, a "super agent" of "Jinsha" website can make profits as high as tens of thousands of yuan by "pumping water" in a game.

　　What’s even more frightening is that many gamblers don’t know that in order to obtain permanent benefits, bookmakers sometimes use their own information and technical advantages to cheat on the odds. Because the dealer can know how many people take part in a game and the betting situation of both sides at the first time, he can adjust the odds artificially by computer means in time.

　　Elite "crazy" development offline only to make up for huge gambling debts.

　　It is understood that in the cracked "Jinsha" online gambling case, the 20 suspects who were arrested were complicated, including business leaders and social idlers, but those who joined the ranks of managers generally had high school education or above.

　　Among the arrested suspects, two gambling participants with high academic qualifications and good jobs are particularly interesting. According to the police, both of them graduated from universities and used to be partners in an IT company, earning a lot of money. The company they belong to specializes in internet equipment, which has a very good benefit in North China and is also famous. By chance, the two became members of the "Jinsha" website through the introduction of acquaintances, and began to fall into the "mire" of online gambling step by step. In just over a year, two "IT elites" almost lost everything. Before being captured, the two were already "agents" of the "Jinsha" website.

　　The reason why these "elites" join the ranks of managers is mostly to make up for the debts owed by gambling as ordinary members. Because in the gang structure of the "Jinsha" pyramid, the upper platform can always control the lower platform. Every time managers develop an "off-line" gambler, they can draw from every bet of the member, and the proportion of the draw will increase with the increase of the level of managers.

　　According to reports, in order to enhance the trust of gamblers, "Jinsha" website only takes the winning or losing of various international sports competitions as the betting object to show fairness, and the website also adopts the traditional Chinese display mode, which is intended to imply that gamblers are related to gambling companies in Macao or other countries. After each game, the "Jinsha" website will check out step by step according to the administrator level. If it is just an ordinary member, it is basically fixed to meet with its superiors on Monday or Thursday and pay the gambling money.

　　This post-payment settlement method determines that every agent of Jinsha website can only develop the characteristics of acquaintances, and this characteristic itself makes similar websites easily develop into organized crimes involving black gangs, which is more difficult than ordinary forms of online gambling. The person in charge of the network security department of Xuanwu Public Security Bureau said: "In addition, online gambling itself is cross-regional, involving a large scope and involving a lot of funds, which is extremely harmful to society."

　　At present, more than 20 "Jinsha" online gambling gangs have been criminally detained by Xuanwu Public Security Bureau on suspicion of opening casinos, and the case is still under further investigation.

　　Case meaning

　　At present, you can still browse a lot of relevant information by typing "renting (renting) football management platform" or related keywords in relevant search engines.

　　It is understood that up to now, Beijing police have cracked more than 100 online gambling cases this year and arrested more than 300 gamblers. Especially since the crackdown on pornography and gambling drugs was launched on April 11th, 90 profit-making gambling gangs have been destroyed, including 16 online gambling gangs such as online gambling, online Mark Six lottery and online baccarat, 189 gambling taps have been detained in criminal detention, and more than 960,000 yuan of gambling funds have been collected. Today, the trend of encirclement and suppression of online gambling is "one wave is higher than another", but the source of its flooding still continues to spread. How to make relevant departments jointly crack down and further improve the crackdown effect may be the next issue for the police to consider.
