Mainland man arrested for illegal operation of online gaming
On 9th July 2026, the Gaming-related Crimes Division of the Judiciary Police was notified by the security department of a casino in NAPE district, alleging that during the live-streaming of a baccarat machine, a man had been using his phone to target at the screen for a long time while sitting in an unusual posture. It was suspected that someone was operating so-called “e-betting” illegal online games of fortune criminal activities, hence transferred the involved mainland man to the Judiciary Police for follow-up.
Investigation revealed that on July 8th, the involved man gambled at the aforementioned live-streaming baccarat machine, during which he had been filming the machine’s screen secretly with his mobile phone, which was covered up by the so-called “score paper” provided by the casino. Through an app, he live-streamed the betting process for patrons in the mainland to watch and give instructions to place bets on their behalf. The involved betting stake was around HKD5,000 in total, while he profited no less than HKD200 from the betting points. The Judiciary Police officers seized HKD5,000 in cash and a mobile phone on him.
Based on investigative results, the Judiciary Police transferred the involved man to the Public Prosecutions Office with the charge of illegal operation of online games of fortune or online mutual gaming.
