Can gambling disputes be litigated?

You can sue. However, if the people's court finds that the case involves illegal crimes during the trial, it shall transfer the case to the public security organ for handling. In fact, the relevant interests involved in illegal acts are not protected by law. Simply put, gambling debts, or funds lent knowing that they are gambling, are not protected by law. Supreme Law Opinions on Several Procedural Issues Concerning Criminal Offences in the Trial of Civil Disputes 1. In trying a civil case, the people's court finds that all or part of the facts of the case are suspected of criminal offences. 1. according to article 1 of the provisions of the Supreme People's Court on several issues concerning the trial of economic contract disputes involving economic crimes, the court shall transfer the clues and materials of suspected crimes to the relevant public security organs or procuratorial organs for investigation. However, according to the civil legal norms, if the parties constitute a civil legal relationship and do not affect the trial of the civil case, the civil case may continue to be tried.

2. If a suspected crime is found during the trial, and the facts confirmed in the suspected criminal case will directly affect the nature, effectiveness and responsibility of the civil dispute case, according to the provisions of Item (5) of Paragraph 1 of Article 136 of the Civil Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the court shall decide to suspend the trial, transfer the criminal clues to the relevant public security organs or procuratorial organs, and resume the trial after the criminal proceedings are terminated.

3. If a suspected crime is found during the trial, it does not constitute civil liability. For example, if it is found that an outsider is suspected of embezzling or privately engraving the official seal of the unit to engage in fraud, the unit as a civil defendant has no fault and should not bear civil liability, that is, there is no civil legal relationship between the parties to the contract, and the court should transfer the whole case.
