I think they cannot even use ************ at any books anywhere

I wonder why so strict?

[Tech N9ne]

I know It's illegal in China. Not sure Hong Kong & Macau.. Taiwan should be fine.

I have a friend in HK, he must use VPN for some specific websites but he's not going to get arrested or anything like that. It's not exactly legal but not illegal either as far as I know.

HK is VERY different to mainland China by the way.

[Ruifgalmeida]

Asians are the biggest gamblers in the world. They will find a way to gamble no matter what.

I think the Govt of China is trying to block all of the online gambling sites..

It's an all tote system I believe but not sure what the take is.

Communism is the answer to why China wants total control of their citizens internet rights.

[xxplosive]

we owe an exorbitant amount of money to the Chinese

[Hareeba!]

"we" ???

relevance of this to the topic ?

On the horse racing, yes. The take depends on the kind of bet, but in between 17.5 and 24%. They do give 10% rebate on losing Win, Place, Quinella and QP bets of HK$10k+. (US$1.2k)

On the football it is fixed odds! If you ever see any interesting bet, let me know, because one can bet real big with them!

In HK gambling on any other website on the internet is forbidden, however nobody has ever been prosecuted.

It is illegal in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau.

Thanks Men

I think bank wires might work to books though from Hong Kong Banks

Hong Kong is now part of China. Online gambling is illegal but not heavily regulated as of yet.
