Accordingly, through monitoring the situation on cyberspace, the Department of Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention, Nghe An Provincial Police discovered on the internet an "online casino" disguised as a game with rewards.
Their method is to link up with the subjects that manage and illegally release the online card game applications for rewards "No Hu, B29, Choang G88" to open a level 2 online game money agency for the purpose of buying and selling virtual money in the game. To have money to participate in gambling, players must use real money to buy virtual money in the game, and at the same time convert virtual money into real money.
