Gambling as a profession is suspected of constituting a criminal offence and is subject to criminal punishment.
The treatment for catching gamblers is:
1. If gambling does not constitute a crime, it shall be punished for public security according to law, detained for not more than five days or fined not more than five hundred yuan; If the circumstances are serious, they shall be detained for more than 10 and less than 15, and fined for more than 3,000 yuan in 500 yuan.
2, gambling behavior suspected of gambling, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or control, and fined.
The key to the legal definition of gambling depends on whether it is for profit subjectively, and whether there are behaviors of gathering people to gamble, opening casinos and taking gambling as a profession objectively. For those who have participated in gambling for many times, but have not won much, they do not take gambling as their livelihood or main source of income; Or if the actor provides casinos and gambling tools and does not profit from them, he cannot be convicted of gambling.
