Chess Game website Gambling in disguise: Giant industry chain emerges

A regular chess game website disguised gambling, a year unexpectedly profit 750 million yuan. Recently, Zhejiang province Wenzhou a chess brand website, was investigated by the relevant departments. In fact, the above chess website is only opened up the tip of the Internet gambling iceberg, in the current domestic large and small chess game platform, every day, are in the virtual currency to generate huge trading quotas. Lose money faster than playing mahjong Beijing white collar Mo Rock work leisure time has played a large web site online chess game-dou landlords. "But not a member of the ordinary players, no matter how hard to play, only negative points have been increasing." As if the licensing rules are manipulated by an invisible hand, even if you count the cards to be so accurate, you can't get points if you don't pay to be a website member. In this case, many people do not care, feel that their level of the landlord is too bad, will not dispute. "If it's not a high-level member of the site, the game system will be barred from entering a room full of people," Mo Yan said. "Actually people are just excuses. The purpose of the website is to make the player a paid member. Of course, such a way of making money is understandable, willing to play by the players themselves to decide. Even if you pay to become a member, the game program will also set a hurdle, so that players spend more money to become more advanced players. All in all, to be a master in a chess game like this is not your level of decision, but the money you pay to buy a virtual currency. "In Mo Yan just began to register into the site of the chess game, he found himself under the account has 10,000 game coins, so Mo Yan began to play the game currency room to play, to click on the system prompted him--game currency reached 24,000 to enter." It also prompts him how to get the game currency. Out of curiosity, Mo Yan on the tip of the way to pay the game currency voice phone calls, according to the tip in less than 1 minutes he filled in the account of 20 yuan, bought 100,000 game coins, so that his game currency number reached 110,000, with the access to the designated room game qualification. "According to the rules of the landlords, if you lose points, =1000 game coins, that is to say." Do farmers lose 1 points on the loss of 0.1 yuan, each bureau in the case of a bomb to lose 0.3 yuan, a bomb to lose 0.6 yuan, the more bombs, the loss of money doubled. I don't know, a fright. In a short period of less than 10 minutes, I 10 dollars to buy 100,000 play coins basically lost. When the game currency is not 24,000, the game system will automatically kick you out of the room. Think about it, the longer you play the more money you lose, the more you lose the renminbi. A careful calculation of this rate is faster than playing mahjong in Mahjong Hall. There is no difference between gaming and gambling. "I know there are a lot of members on this site and paid users everywhere," Mo Yan said. The young people in my company are basically paid members, often listening to them say how much money they spend on the virtual currency of the site. I have never heard of any player who has earned the game currency and made money. "ReporterIn the interview, it was noted that gambling on chess and card games is almost a common phenomenon. Hubei province Xiantao procuratorial organ seized the "Century Entertainment" network chess platform is a more typical network gambling website. The game was run online without any administrative license and qualification, nor was the virtual currency issue and transaction services licensed. "Century Entertainment" network chess platform has "Dou landlord", "guessing Dice", "21 points", "Five Card", "will phase and" Five chess cards, the game currency called "Le Dou", 1 million "le beans" equivalent to 100 yuan, players on the platform each play a game, the system automatically consumes the winner "Le Bean" 1%. The game platform is provided with a "safe" function, the player can use the "safe" function in different ID account to carry out "le beans" the number of transfer. On this platform, "will phase and" is its main breed, inside has "the Wind and Cloud", "Invites the guest" two rooms, "The Wind and cloud" room betting amount is bigger, the ordinary player each the maximum may wager 2500 yuan, the banker each can wager 5000 yuan. According to the case prosecutors, chess and card games Web site gambling can not be separated from the "Gold merchants", "Silver merchants" of the strong participation, "Jin Shang", "Silver Merchant" is the website dedicated to the virtual currency and the renminbi Exchange settlement staff name. To better attract gamers, stimulate virtual money demand, to obtain more illegal benefits, they spare no effort to promote the game, organize, attract Internet personnel to participate in gambling, website operators are actively for "silver merchants" to provide virtual currency coordination, transportation, Exchange services, and jointly promote the development of network gambling. Chess Game Website "Business Opportunities" in the chess game of gambling in the wind prevailing behind, the opening of chess game site, has undoubtedly become a "hot business", and chess game site in the beginning of the creation, how to meet the players, is the survival and development of the first priority. A game platform development company staff to the reporter presented a chess game site construction proposal, it wrote, "Any game itself is the charm of the game, you can say that the people who like the game is to ' win ', ' lose ' the excitement and play the game, and even indulge in it, all the players are for their own ' The goal of winning is playing, to the end who is the winner? Who is the biggest beneficiary of the game in reality? You should not think about it, then I tell you, production and sale of game tools manufacturers. The same is true on the web, which means that providing gaming platforms can also be the biggest beneficiary. "The plan further writes," since the game exists ' win ', ' lose ' the stimulation feeling, the recessive gambling concept naturally must put in the first place, this time net silver, Alipay (Weibo), wealth pass and so on completely for our free service. According to the above staff estimates, China's online game players have more than 265 million people, which chess game is becoming the main force of online games, with nearly 150 million of the game to 56% of the share ahead of other types of games. The reporter then and a chess game promotion development company's customer service personnel contacted, the other party claimed,The world's most profitable is not real estate, not oil, electricity, but the issue of money, is the right to issue currency. Clever online game operators to build a virtual society through the game, using the issue of virtual currency to achieve currency distribution, the smartest business model to make money. In addition, the above customer service personnel also said that the virtual chips for the game, according to the bureau charge of services, is a legitimate business model of chess and card games, but also the most basic chess game profit point. "With the advent and development of the Internet, through the Internet, such as online games, such as the specific way of gambling, because it is a virtual currency or game currency, point cards, etc. as a means of payment, sell and purchase with lottery opportunities for virtual equipment or virtual equipment to send lottery opportunities and other covert means, in the amount of small transactions, The player has the dispersibility and the participation time length difficult computational characteristic and so on, therefore, more has the concealment, the deception sex. Not only is the general public difficult to find and identify the nature of their gambling, even gamers, it is likely to subjectively do not know that they are actually involved in gambling. It also brings difficulties to the identification and regulation of online gaming gambling. Said Liu, director of the Asia-Pacific Network Law Research Center, a professor at the law School of Beijing Normal University. To crack down on the Internet gambling is facing the "three difficulties" for the current crackdown on the use of chess and card games for network gambling crime, Xiantao prosecutors think that facing the "three difficulties": the current law on the definition of gambling sites unclear. The main basis of the network gambling is the "two High" 2005 published "on the specific application of gambling criminal cases of the interpretation of the law" and "two High One" published in 2010, "on the application of the Law on Network gambling cases," the views of several issues, but these two rules are not clearly defined as a gambling site. , resulting in a chess game platform identified as a gambling site has a certain degree of difficulty. The criminal evidence of gaming platforms is difficult to fix. At present, the public security organs to fight gambling websites rely mainly on the identification of game platform online numbers, funds trading volume and other aspects of electronic data, but such electronic data network operators generally only retained one months, the detection of electronic evidence, only statements and testimonies, it is difficult to effectively confirm the network operators all the crime. The fight against "silver merchant" is difficult. "Silver Merchant" simply scalping virtual game currency, does not belong to the judicial interpretation of "for gambling sites to provide funds to pay settlement services" behavior. Xiantao Procuratorate for these two cases, Zhang fan and other organizations in its erection of the chess game website Gambling, and support the virtual currency exchange renminbi, its behavior constitutes the creation of casino crime. In the case of Jinbin, Jinbin did not conspire with the network operators, only to recycle the game coins to other gambling players, the amount is particularly large, the behavior is not easy to characterize. Even if the Jinbin is organized to invite players to gamble, can only be found to constitute a gambling crime, the crackdown is limited. In this regard, Liu suggested that, in view of the online game gambling behavior involves the virtual currency or game currency, point card, etc. as a gambling, may directly endanger the state's financial regulatory order, so the external regulation of online gaming gambling should need financial authoritiesIntervention. In view of the online game gambling is a game-culture industry, the specific rules of the game is often contained in the rules of the Games, therefore, the cultural authorities in the network game products in the market access audit strictly, to those with a gambling nature of the network game refused to the network game industry door. Considering that the network game in the operating process can be modified in the operation of the rules of the game, to join the rules of gaming, therefore, should have entered the market network game whether there is a gambling rule, by the culture, industry and commerce, public security, industry letter and other competent departments of strict law enforcement inspection and supervision
