內地男子涉不法經營線上博彩被捕
本局於2026年7月5日凌晨接獲中區一娛樂場保安部通知，指在場內發現一名男子涉嫌從事俗稱“電投”的線上賭博犯罪活動，遂派員到場處理。
調查顯示，涉案內地男子於7月4日晚上，身穿經改裝並留有小孔的服飾，將流動電話固定在胸前，利用鏡頭對準賭枱進行偷拍及實時直播，同時操作通訊軟件並使用微型耳機接收內地客人的投注指示以協助下注，從中賺取不法利益。
本局博彩罪案調查處人員在涉案男子身上當場搜獲7.8萬港元籌碼，以及作案時身穿的改裝服飾、兩部流動電話、微型耳機套裝和綁帶等作案工具。經查證，涉案男子事前已充分準備作案工具，其操作手法及流程相當純熟，具有不法經營線上博彩之強烈跡象。
本局根據調查所得，以不法經營線上幸運博彩或線上互相博彩罪，將涉案內地男子移送檢察院偵辦。
Mainland Chinese man arrested for illegal operation of online gaming
Learning from the security department of a casino in central district during the wee hours of 5th July 2026 that a man had been found engaging in the so-called “e-betting” online gaming criminal activities, the Judiciary Police deployed personnel to the scene to handle the matter.
Investigation revealed that on the evening of July 4th, the involved mainland Chinese man, wearing a modified outfit with a pinhole to fix his mobile phone in front of the chest to aim the camera at the gaming table for secret photography and live broadcast, had earned illegal profits by simultaneously using messaging apps and micro earbuds to receive mainland Chinese customers’ betting instructions and placing bets for them.
The Gaming-related Crimes Division officers of the Judiciary Police seized HKD 78,000 in chips on the involved man at the scene, alongside crime tools including his modified outfit worn during the perpetration, two mobile phones, micro earbuds set and straps. The involved man was found to have fully equipped for the perpetration and be highly skilled in the modus operandi and process of crime, suggesting compelling indications of illegal operation of online gaming.
Based on investigative findings, the Judiciary Police transferred the involved mainland Chinese man to the Public Prosecutions Office for the charge of illegal operation of online games of fortune or online mutual gaming.
