2 Chinese Men Arrested in Sihanoukville For Running Online Gambling Casino in Ocean Park Boutique Hotel

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Sihanoukville, Cambodia: 2 Chinese nationals, Canrui Wu and Jiazhou Chen, have been arrested for running an online gambling casino illegally.

They were arrested at Ocean Park Boutique Hotel and were caught with several computers, numerous SIM cards and even...wait for it....USB sticks!

At least these alleged criminals had valid visas and passports.

Canrui Wu was born on November 5, 1989 in Guangdong, China, making him 27 years old, and Jiazhou Chen was born on August 19, 1995 in Guangdong, China, making him 21 years old.

The naughty duo have been sent to court for legal proceedings.

Hopefully this is the tip of the iceberg. Would be nice to see what is changing into a 2nd Macau reversed. I would feel sorry for the greedy landlords who kicked out the faithful western long stayers and now loosing their revenue.

That link says they'll crack down on foreign owned casinos, says nothing about those owned by Chinese and paying in RMB. So what if they crack down on advertising SHV Casinos directly to the Chinese, you just call it a resort, with a nice picture of your logo containing dice. I see nothing that's going to send them back, the genie is not going back into the bottle. The new Highway 4 is being built and SHV port is expanding for more Chinese goods. The Chinese are going to gamble somewhere, and it's not in that big Russian Resort in the freezing North East snow. Plus, if online casinos get cracked down on, it just means more people will make the physical flight here to play. Everyone said they'd be gone after last year's crackdown, and it was quiet for what, maybe two months tops.

They are certainly busting the big operators. I think the government is going after the online gaming not the physical casinos.

These arrests are part of an on-going crackdown by Beijing, a close friend of Cambodia.
Article from March 2017:
China Cracks Down on Foreign Operators Marketing Gambling to Its Citizens
March 30, 2017
The state-run Xinhua news agency reported that Public Security Minister Guo Shengkun has promised “severe punishment” for foreign operators who flout the gambling ban on the Chinese mainland.
“We must seriously investigate and severely punish those companies and individuals involved in enticing and organizing Chinese tourists to gamble in overseas casinos,” said Guo. “We must severely punish those casino-related illegal labor agents and crack down on activities for investing in overseas casinos,” he added.
Guo ordered police to target criminals gangs that facilitate online gambling and to show no mercy to “underground banks” that manage the flow of cash to fund cross-border gambling.

This is the latest phase of “Operation Chain Break,” a campaign designed to stop the flow of money from the mainland to casinos abroad, as capital flight puts pressure on the yuan.
