Lots of Chinese poker players play poker on Chinese websites. They also play poker on Pokerstars of course. These websites might be blocked by the censors, but a committed gambler will find a way around that.
haha that's how when the rules are too strict for the people, they will continue to find solutions to what they enjoy. Similar to the bitcoin gambling sites circulating in China, the government must have blocked these sites. But they (
gambling lovers) have various ways to access the site, even the government cannot track them.
As far as I know China not allow online gambling although I don't have source news. Since bitcoin isn't traceable if don't know who own the address perhaps China people's would use VPN. And I believe most of legit crypto-currency gambling doesn't ask for KYC. So China player can get benefits of it.
And maybe gambling in China will really stop if the Chinese government makes rules as strict as in the US and India. Well, that would make the gambler's feelings tremble and afraid to gamble again. I also think that sooner or later the Chinese government will enforce rules like its rival countries.
