According to Sing Tao Daily, the once-every-four-years World Cup is kicking off this week! Hong Kong police anticipate a potential rise in illegal gambling activities during the tournament and have launched Operation 'Gobi and Windshield' to crack down on underground betting. Regarding the use of virtual assets for gambling, Chief Inspector Wong Yu-fai from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau stated that while many illegal betting platforms now offer cryptocurrency as a payment option, bank transfers and stored-value payment tools remain the primary methods. Even when virtual assets are used for settling bets, the police have extensive experience and capability to investigate and respond. https://(wublock123.com)/news/hong-kong-police-operation-gobi-windshield-crackdown-world-cup-illegal-gambling-crypto-betting-62384
