Mainland man nabbed for involvement in illegal operation of online gaming
At around 4 a.m. on 10th July 2026, the Judiciary Police was notified by a casino in the NAPE district, indicating that a man gambling at a live baccarat gaming machine had concealed a mobile phone within modified clothing positioned toward the screen, raising suspicions that he was conducting an illegal online gaming activity commonly known as “proxy betting”.
Personnel of the Gaming-related Crimes Division of the Judiciary Police took over the investigation and discovered that, the involved Mainland man had successively worn the modified clothing on two occasions, on the night of July 8th and in the wee hours of July 10th, live‑streaming the gambling process to his clients in the Mainland via his mobile phone, while using a Bluetooth earpiece to receive betting instructions and place bets on their behalf.
Investigation revealed that, the involved man could receive a remuneration of approximately HKD500 per hour. Since June 2026, he had conducted illegal live-streamed betting around five times for three clients, with total wagers amounting to approximately HKD150,000 in total, and earning a profit of no less than HKD5,000 to date. Personnel of the Judiciary Police seized a total of HKD114,000 in cash coupons from the involved man, alongside crime tools suspected of being used for illegal gambling.
The Judiciary Police transferred the involved man to the Public Prosecutions for the offence of illegal operation of online games of fortune or online mutual gaming.
