POLICE have smashed an illegal gambling ring that operated bets on the World Cup in teahouses in Beijing.
Beijing police arrested 25 alleged gamblers in one teahouse and confiscated 570,000 yuan (US$84,181) in cash, Beijing Times quoted Haidian District police as saying today.
Police officers also found evidence such as invoices and records of each gambler's bets during the raids on two teahouses on July 8.
Officers said undercover cops had eavesdropped on the gang before arresting them, the report said.
The gamblers placed their bets through two major organizers surnamed Cui and Cen, who were members of a foreign gambling website. They kept a cut as a handling fee and were detained, according to the newspaper.
The Ministry of Public Security said police have busted over 600 illegal gambling rings in China since the World Cup started on June 11. Police detained 810 people and froze or confiscated dealings worth over 50 million yuan.
