What should I do if I am sued for gambling debts?

When gambling debts are sued for IOUs, the parties concerned should actively respond and collect evidence to prove that the creditor's rights on IOUs are gambling debts. Gambling debt is an illegal debt in China, which is not protected by law and does not need to be repaid. If the IOUs were written under duress, the parties can prove to the court that the IOUs were not signed according to their true intentions. According to Article 150 of the Civil Law, if one party or a third party coerces the other party against its true meaning, the coerced party has the right to request the people's court or an arbitration institution to cancel it. Article 151 stipulates that if one party takes advantage of the other party's danger and lacks judgment, resulting in obviously unfair when a civil juristic act is established, the injured party has the right to request the people's court or an arbitration institution to cancel it.
