#Laogao E-commerce Online Information# A game in five minutes, I don’t know who the money has lost to, I keep betting 24 hours a day, and win or lose tens of thousands of yuan overnight... This is a true portrayal of the WeChat gambling group. According to the investigation, there are many gambling groups in WeChat, including different ways of playing and amount, but they cannot escape the suspicion of gambling. In gambling games, some sellers sell fully automatic accounting software, some professional intermediaries bring players into the group, and some dealers instigate gambling players to open new games to seek commissions. A complete WeChat gambling industry chain is waiting to seize wealth from players at any time. The editor of Laogao E-commerce here reveals the "gambling industry" hidden in WeChat.
Players revealed: All salary in January is lost to WeChat gambling group
"Let's play the last one," Chen Xiang (pseudonym) started betting with his mobile phone. Before this, he played "guessing the size" for an hour and a half and had lost 2,000 yuan. Soon, he bought another 500 yuan, and then nervously waited for the dealer to send out the red envelope. Soon, the dealer sent a 1 yuan red envelope and Chen Xiang grabbed 0.09 yuan. He threw his cell phone angrily and fell on the bed with his face covering. This 500 yuan is the last 500 yuan he has left this month, and now only 0.79 yuan is left in his salary card.
Chen Xiang explained the specific gameplay to: the dealer sent a "lucky red envelope", with 3 red envelopes of 1 yuan, and the final number of the red envelope amount in the middle of the lottery result is used as the lottery result. Participants can buy odd and even, size, numbers, and leopards, and the odds range from twice to ten times. He said that after playing for a month, he could still make money at the beginning, but as time went by, he lost more and more money. "I guessed it right twice this week, it's really weird." He said, "I'm addicted to playing this. Every time I think I can win if I don't play, I always feel that I can still win. It's this gambling mentality that makes me lose more and more. I lost to this group of salary of 3,500 yuan this month. I don't know how to live the next day."
Chen Xiang said: Once you join the gambling group, many people in the group will take the initiative to add friends. "After adding friends, these people pulled me into other gambling groups. In one week, I joined seven or eight groups. The types and sizes of these groups were different. In this way, I fell deeper and deeper and couldn't stop at all." He said that he had also withdrawn from the group, but was soon added by the group owner or other friends.
After winning the prize, the gambling money will be more than thousands of times
In a large win-loss group, a more crazy way of playing makes players even more crazy. This kind of game draws in 5 minutes. According to the rules of different groups, players can bet up to thousands of yuan in a game, and can win up to 12 times the bet amount. This gameplay is similar to a lottery number buying game, but players can select multiple of 28 numbers from 0 to 27 to purchase. In the game, players need to transfer their money to the account room through WeChat or Alipay before they can place bets. The dealer constantly sends gameplay instructions, transfer tips and player transfer amounts in the group.
After the start of the game, the player wins and loses, but he still bets. A player revealed that he once earned several thousand yuan for hundreds of yuan. He wanted to stop, but he couldn't stop. "If you win, you want more. Once you lose, you want to turn the tables immediately, but you lose more and more." It was not until he lost all the money he had given his sister to school in his hometown that he uninstalled WeChat and bought a ticket to return to his hometown. Since then, he has never played WeChat again. "It's so scary. There is no stopping, no location limit, you can join with a mobile phone, but it's hard to get out of here."

In September 2015, the Public Security Bureau of Shaoyang City, Hunan Province learned that Xinning police cracked a gambling case of "grabbing red envelopes on WeChat". The police investigation found that Xie and Li Xin used the WeChat red envelope group as a virtual casino and organized netizens to gambling by issuing red envelope guessing in the WeChat group. He also hired Zhou and six others as administrators, responsible for attracting people to the group, attracting gamblers, and managing bets.

Case 2
Zhejiang - "WeChat sends red envelopes" gambling funds exceed tens of millions
In July 2015, the Taizhou police in Zhejiang cracked the first major case of gambling in the form of "WeChat sending red envelopes" in the country. More than 300 people were involved in the case, covering more than 10 provinces and cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Henan, Jiangsu, Fujian, etc., with the cumulative gambling funds involved in the case exceeding 10 million yuan.
The police found that someone complained online that he had lost money in the WeChat group, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan. Almost at the same time, Tencent also received reports from netizens that someone used the WeChat red envelope function to gambling. The police disguised himself as a "gambler" and joined one of the WeChat groups. After investigation, the suspect Yang and his wife Chen discussed organizing a WeChat red envelope gambling group on WeChat, and the group owner made profits by replacing the cap. They found Cui Moumou and Yang Moumou to take the bag and tap. Yang pulled some people who were willing to gamble into the group, and Chen, Cui and Yang took the lead in the group, while Cui was responsible for maintaining order in the group. Once verified, the police quickly detained the suspect.
Police remind: Wechat gambling may be criminally detained
Regarding WeChat gambling, Beijing police said that using WeChat gambling is also a gambling act. If a criminal case filing standard is reached, criminal liability will be held criminally responsible for gambling and opening a casino. The police said that according to Article 2 of the "Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Laws in Handling Criminal Cases of Gambling", if a gambling website is established on a computer network for the purpose of profit, or serve as an agent for a gambling website and accept bets, it is a "opening a casino" stipulated in Article 303 of the Criminal Law. In addition, according to Article 302 of the Criminal Law, those who gather together to gambling or make their careers for profit shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, detention or control, and fined. Those who open a casino shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, detention or control, and shall be fined; if the circumstances are serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years but not more than ten years, and shall be fined. Beijing police will do their best to crack down on WeChat gambling groups in accordance with the law, hoping that citizens can consciously resist and actively report.
Insider Reveal: Most of the dealers cheat
A player who has participated in WeChat gambling told reporters that no one who participates in gambling can beat the dealer. "Nine out of ten dealers use cheating machines. Why do group owners take the risk of organizing this group if they don't make money?" He said that as long as it is a game where dealers send red envelopes, they can control the size of points and odd-even points using cheating software. This "artifact" is very suitable for gambling games that guess the size and odd-even points.
He said that players can also install similar red envelope grab software, but obviously they can't play with the dealer. "Generally, the software for grabbing red envelopes cannot control the points, so some games such as odd and even are not suitable. You can only choose to change the last number when sending red envelopes yourself, but this is rare." The player said. In addition, it is easy for the dealer to find that the idle player is using plug-in software. Once discovered, the dealer will immediately kick such a player away and block the account. "Most dealers think that such people are "ghost" and are not easy to cheat, or think that such players are coming to "undercover". In addition to buying directly online, there are also special software sellers in some lottery results prediction groups. A seller in Shenzhen said that he has two software that can be used permanently for sale, with a price difference of 500 yuan. The difference is that there are more functions. After paying, the other party will remotely install the software through QQ and conduct training.
In addition, many sellers said that their software can be fully automatic. These software are connected to the WeChat group when used. Screenshots of the software page provided by another seller show that the trader can set the odd and even, combinations and single-point digital odds by himself, and the upper and lower limits of betting can also be set through the software.
The money runs away and cannot be paid without repaying it
In order to make money, the dealer will also use some "black moves" to deal with the money-winning players. For example, the situation of being blocked by the dealer after winning money has also occurred frequently. However, although the player suffered a loss, he still had no place to make sense.
Player Dalong (pseudonym) said that he joined a group guessing size and tried to play sex twice. "I made 12,000 yuan with a principal of 300 yuan, and the other party promised me to repay it as much. After I called 'Bao' (withdrawal), I never received the money." Dalong said that he was in the group asking about the situation. At first, no one paid attention to it. Then, the other party sent a screenshot of the transfer and said that the account had been transferred. "In that picture, a WeChat account with the same name and avatar as my name and avatar received the transfer." Dalong was very angry, "They clone my avatar, and the person who collected the money was not me at all. But when I wanted to argue with him again, I just said something and was kicked out of the group. I was so angry that I shook, but I could only admit defeat."
In the circle, a gambling group called "sharks" makes many players unable to defend themselves. In gambling groups, not all dealers will abide by the rules of the game. Some dealers who take the initiative will not redeem the account amount, or even run away with the money. Such a gambling group is a "shark group".
Not only that, some so-called reputable gambling groups are not completely honest. One of the financial officials in the gambling group told him that the dealer would arrange multiple small accounts to bet in the group, but the bets were all fake points, with the purpose of attracting small players to call. "Although from the surface, people who come to gambling win and lose, no one who gambles in the group will lose money."
Serial condoms to pull people regularly to clear the group
A professional seller revealed that he also saw someone selling super powerful dummies in the game as "childcare" in his circle of friends. These automatic children will place their own bets according to the prior setting, and shout "check" (i.e. recharge) when the balance reaches the bottom, and shout "back" (i.e. withdrawal) after the balance reaches a certain amount. The behavior is similar to that of a real person to create popularity in the group. "Let some less popular groups give people the illusion, drive the atmosphere, and attract more players to bet." And in the group, there are people with the third identity "hold hands". In some groups, some players also make money by helping the dealer attract people. In the circle, this kind of professional intermediary is called a handle, and players are the targets they snatch.
WeChat response: gambling accounts will be blocked
Regarding gambling behaviors in the WeChat group, the WeChat team stated that some users used the WeChat group chat function to gambling. For such illegal and irregular behaviors, the WeChat team will resolutely deal with them in accordance with relevant national laws and regulations, the "Tencent WeChat Software License and Service Agreement" and the "WeChat Personal Account Usage Specifications": For gambling-related illegal groups, the use of the group functions will be restricted. For gambling-related violation accounts, the restriction function will be carried out according to the principle of ladder punishment according to the degree of violation and the account will be suspended.
Lawyer said: All dealer players should be punished more
Wu Lihong, chief lawyer of Beijing Kangpu Law Firm, said that the situation of WeChat gambling is becoming increasingly serious and deserves the police's efforts to increase the crackdown. He said that WeChat gambling is not divided into locations, and once it occurs, it will be difficult for the public security to file a case according to local management. In addition to the virtuality of the online platform, the dealer and participants come from all over the country, and the gambling methods and gambling funds payment are extremely hidden, so it is difficult to combat such gambling behavior. For WeChat gambling, some technical curbs often only solve superficial problems and are difficult to completely cure. Both participants and onlookers should actively report to law enforcement departments that only by rising to the universal movement can it be fundamentally curbed.
Wechat gambling loses in the heart
All kinds of dazzling gambling games stir up the fragile nerves of players, from being dragged into WeChat to being introduced to a larger group of gamblers. Once you get hooked, spending money is like swiping a card, touching your fingers, and thousands or tens of thousands of yuan will be gone.
People are the slaughter and you are the fish. The dealer uses cheat software to play with players in their palms. The player is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, waiting to be ruthlessly divided at any time. Some players also admitted that "know that they will definitely lose money", but they just couldn't stop. Those who win will want to win more, and those who lose will make a dream come true.
In a society ruled by law, while cracking down on all kinds of gambling, are these "lambs to be slaughtered" worthy of sympathy? The editor believes that without players, there is no way to talk about the dealer. Players are an indispensable part of the gambling process. If players can have some health hobbies and devote their energy to the right path, then the WeChat gambling group will be self-defeating.
WeChat gambling is popular nowadays. Thanks to the fact that it is not limited by time and space, one mobile phone can participate, making it extremely concealed. However, even the most hidden violations are not beyond the law. As the core of combating gambling, the police should also update their crackdown methods with the popular emerging positions so that violations hiding in the dark are difficult to hide.
Finally, I want to say that WeChat is a platform for everyone to communicate and communicate, and its technology is neutral, but I personally think that this cannot be a reason for their no-responsibility to defend. On the contrary, WeChat should use its powerful technical means to facilitate reporting channels, increase internal crackdowns, and say no to all illegal acts on the platform.
