All gambling in China is illegal as the government wants to ensure social cohesion throughout the population. Nevertheless, a huge amount of gambling still goes on as the Chinese as a whole love to bet on anything. The government does offer a few betting opportunities, mainly horse racing, and football. For casino games, you'll require a special visa to visit either Macau or Hong Kong. Even though gambling is permitted here, there are no internet casinos allowed across the whole of China.

In mainland China, pretty much all ambling activities are illegal, with very high penalties for those caught. The problem is that the Chinese love to gamble. Though there are two Chinese national lotteries, Chinese tourists can still go to either Hong Kong or Macau to get their fill of either sports betting or casino games. Hong Kong offers horse racing with some of the biggest prizes in the world. As for Macau, the peninsular has some of the world's biggest and most luxurious casinos.
