The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is a state in East Asia which at the global level occupies 3rd place in terms of territory and the 2nd place in terms of population. China is the largest exporter of goods in the world and a leader in industrial production.
Almost 1.5 billion people live on the territory of the Chinese state.

What is the current state of sports betting in the PRC?.

Against the back drop of a general state ban on sports betting, the Chinese somehow still find the opportunity to bet on sports on international betting sites.

Through the use of a VPN it is not difficult for the Chinese to obtain the opportunity to place bets and reliable betting sites that accept Chinese players currently exist in sufficient numbers.

Online crypto bookmakers that accept cryptocurrency make the process much easier for the Chinese.

Within the territory of the PRC both land-based bookmakers and internal Chinese betting sites are completely absent.
Due to the inability to bet on sports directly from the territory of China, local players use various VPN services to access foreign-based Internet betting sites.
With the advent of cryptocurrencies it has become much easier for Chinese bettors to deposit and receive their winnings online.
Among the largest betting sites available for the Chinese, Roobet, 1Win, Marathonbet, Dafabet, Ivibet and Leon are the top ones of note.

⚡ Unfortunately, 1xBet (the #1 betting site in the world) does not accept Chinese players.


With regard to crypto betting sites, Vave, Sportbet One and Sportsbet.io can be distinguished from the competition.

Chinese Bettors

There are certain difficulties in counting the number of Chinese players participating in online sports betting.
First of all, this is due to the fact that from the territory of China you can only bet through a VPN which makes it impossible to correctly determine the statistics of the country when counting visitors to betting sites.

According to the roughest estimates we are talking about a figure of 30 to 50 million Chinese bettors or more.

What sports are popular for betting in China?

The Chinese most often bet on football, table tennis, athletics, badminton, speed skating and martial arts.
However they also take part in betting on other popular and world-famous sports such as volleyball, basketball, handball and tennis.
