If the arrested person is suspected of gambling, is it possible to get a suspended sentence? If the arrested person is convicted of gambling and meets the conditions of probation stipulated in the criminal law, he can make a request to the court, which is more likely to get probation. However, it should be noted that probation only means that the charges in the original trial will not be executed, and it does not mean the pardon or exemption of criminal acts. Those who are suspended need to abide by relevant constraints and laws and regulations. At the same time, the application for probation also needs to be comprehensively evaluated according to the specific case, and it cannot be across the board.
