WeChat closes gambling accounts
The China-based social media app WeChat has removed 50,000 accounts and 8000 group chats related to illegal online gambling during World Cup 2018.
Gambling is officially illegal in China. But social media users are still getting a number of messages inviting them to bet online, especially after the World Cup frenzy emerged. Although betting is officially illegal in the country, there are a number of State-run gambling systems, including the China Sports Lottery, which is the second biggest lottery in the world.
“During the World Cup, World Cup gambling websites have been shut down by the government, causing some betting activities to migrate to social platforms,” read a statement from WeChat.
“We appeal to the majority of users to watch the World Cup rationally, to appreciate the competitive nature of football and respect the spirit of the game, and keep away from gambling.”
Or at least, away from illegal gambling. Forbes reported that during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, China Sports Lottery’s match betting sales jumped by an incredible 384.3% and that in the first quarter of this year, the State-run organisation’s sales were already at 16.5 billion USD. In the first three weeks of the World Cup, reports betting site Calvin Ayre, the Sports Lottery raked in 28.6 billion RMB (4.3 billion USD) in sales.
Many illegal World Cup betting sites and WeChat accounts act as a proxy for Chinese citizens to bet via overseas gambling outlets. One such operation in Beijing that was shut down by the authorities this past weekend, resulting in the arrests of 46 individuals, had reportedly handled 320 million RMB (48 million USD) in bets.

22Bet Partners, HellPartners and PlayamoPartners Present: Empire of Success at SiGMA Rome 2025
When SiGMA takes over Rome from November 3–6, the city becomes the epicenter of iGaming. But on November 4, all paths lead to one destination: Atlantico Live, where three powerhouse brands — 22Bet Partners, HellPartners, PlayamoPartners, and  — will set the stage for the most unforgettable night of the conference: Empire of Success.
Headlining the night is Armin van Buuren — a five-time #1 DJ in the world whose sets have defined a generation of electronic music. For one night only, his festival-scale sound and light show will take over Atlantico Live, turning 3,000 affiliates into the biggest crowd SiGMA Rome has ever seen.
Not an Invite-Only. A Statement.
In an industry where parties are usually small, exclusive, and hidden behind velvet ropes, Empire of Success breaks the mold. Not by lowering the bar — but by raising the ceiling. By opening registration to all affiliates, the organizers are sending a bold message: every partner deserves a seat at the table — and a place on the dancefloor. Every detail reflects the strength of the hosts. 22Bet’s precise, global execution. HellPartners’ bold, no-limits approach. PlayAmo’s polished, premium feel. It’s not “another night out.” It’s a VIP-standard experience, scaled for thousands, powered by brands with the vision (and the muscle) to make it happen.
Atmosphere & Format
From 21:00 until 02:00, Atlantico Live will turn into a fusion of sound, lights, and community. Expect world-class production, multiple bars, and a crowd that feels less like an audience and more like a movement. A dedicated VIP zone, curated by the organizers, will host selected partners with its own private bar and light bites, offering space to connect, regroup, or recharge between sets.
Together, these three brands have turned what could have been another closed-door party into a gift from the industry to the industry — one that makes every affiliate feel like the main guest. And you definitely don’t want to miss this.

TaDa Gaming Releases 3 Coin Golden OX
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Â
TaDa Gaming, a leading provider of premium casino content, has released 3 Coin Golden OX, the newest addition to its popular TriLuck series. Featuring Lock & Respin mechanics, Free Games, the Jackpot Pick feature and stunning East Asian-inspired design, this release continues TaDa’s mastery in crafting culturally resonant slots with modern excitement.
Played on a 5Ă—3 grid with 243 ways to win, 3 Coin Golden OX merges elegant visual design with dynamic gameplay. The golden ox reigns over the reels as players chase multipliers, jackpot coins and powerful bonus rounds capable of delivering up to 1200x max win.
The heart of the game lies in its Fortune Pot system, where players collect Ta Ji Da Li Coins into red, green and blue pots above the reels. Each pot can trigger a different Free Game type such as Mighty Free Spins, Super Free Spins or Ultramate Free Spins, each with unique grid sizes, bonus coin behaviour, and jackpot opportunities. During Free Games, players start with three spins that reset whenever new coin symbols appear, keeping the tension high and rewards flowing.
Adding another layer of excitement, the Jackpot Pick Feature offers players a chance to reveal Fuwa symbols or Upgrade icons hidden behind gold coins. Revealing three identical Fuwa symbols awards one of four fixed jackpots, while Upgrade symbols can boost the prize to a higher tier. With fixed jackpot values up to 1000x the bet, 3 Coin Golden OX delivers thrilling win potential across every feature.
Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, commented: “3 Coin Golden OX continues the evolution of our TriLuck series with deeper bonus layers and stronger visual storytelling. The combination of Lock & Respin, progressive Free Games, and the Jackpot Pick feature gives players a sense of progression and excitement that builds with every spin.”
