內地男子涉不法經營線上博彩被拘
本局博彩罪案調查處人員於2026年7月8日下午，在澳門區一娛樂場進行巡查時，發現涉案內地男子於中場直播百家樂機前姿勢有異。經監視後確認其正進行俗稱“電投”的犯罪活動，隨即上前截查。
調查顯示，當日涉案內地男子將一部手機藏於胸前衣袋，前置鏡頭外露並對準百家樂機屏幕，透過通訊軟件直播賭局畫面，供身處內地的賭客觀看；同時，其以褲袋內另一部手機及無線耳機，接收該賭客的投注指示並代為操作。
經查，涉案內地男子自2026年7月6日起，合共替該名賭客進行了三次直播投注，每次由賭客以微信轉帳8,750元人民幣（折合1萬港元）作為賭本，其按指示即時投注。每次賭局結束後，可收取贏得款項之一半作報酬，並可賺取賭博積分。由於三次賭局均輸光賭本，其未獲報酬，但累計獲取不少於1,550港元的積分利益。
行動中，本局人員在其身上搜獲作案時穿著之服飾、兩部手機、一套藍牙無線耳機及一張娛樂場會員卡，上述物品均用於直播、接收投注指示及賺取積分。
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男子移送檢察院偵辦。
Mainland man arrested for illegal operation of online gaming
On the afternoon of 8th July 2026, during a patrol at a casino in Macao peninsula, the Gaming-related Crimes Division personnel of the Judiciary Police noticed that the involved Mainland man had an unusual posture in front of a live baccarat machine on the mass gaming floor. Subsequent to surveillance, it was confirmed that he had been conducting so-called “e-betting” criminal activities. Hence, the Judiciary Police personnel immediately intercepted him for questioning.
Investigation revealed that on the day of the incident, the involved Mainland man had concealed a mobile phone in the chest pocket of his shirt, with the front-facing camera exposed and directed at the baccarat machine screen. Through a messaging app, he live-streamed the games for the gambler in the Mainland to watch. At the same time, he used another mobile phone kept in his trouser pocket, together with wireless earphones, to receive betting instructions from the gambler and place bets on his behalf.
Subsequent to investigation, it was found that since 6th July 2026, the Mainland man had conducted live-stream betting for the gambler on a total of three occasions. Each time, the gambler transferred RMB8,750 (equivalent to HKD10,000) via WeChat as the betting capital, and the involved man placed the bets immediately as instructed. Upon the conclusion of each game, he was entitled to receive half of the winnings as reward, in addition to earning gambling reward points. Since the betting capital was gambled away in all the three games, he did not receive any reward, yet accumulated benefits from gambling reward points valued at no less than HKD1,550.
During the operation, the Judiciary Police found him in possession of the clothing he was wearing at the time of the crime, two mobile phones, a set of Bluetooth wireless earphones, and a casino membership card. All of these items were used for live streaming, receiving betting instructions and earning gambling reward points.
Based on investigative findings, the Judiciary Police transferred the involved man to the Public Prosecutions Office for investigation on the charge of illegal operation of online games of fortune or online mutual gaming.
