China jails nine for running foreign betting operations

China has jailed nine people for operating an illegal online betting ring aimed at customers on China’s mainland.

The group was sentenced at a court in China’s Hunan province after evidence was submitted that the group grossed CNY197.8bn ($28.6bn) in wagers over seven years from 2014.

The suspects had allegedly been running a land-based casino in Myanmar, which the court described as a cross-border gambling case.
