The launching ceremony kicked off a series of publicity activities to be held by both the Force and the HAB to spread the messages of anti-illegal gambling and anti-excessive gambling. It featured live performance by buskers 'the Flame' and rock band 'ToNick'. Two anti-gambling promotional videos were premiered at the ceremony. LEGAZPI CITY –– The campaign against illegal gambling went on full throttle in Bicol during the first half of this year with the arrest of 1,153 persons and the confiscation of nearly P200,000 worth of gambling bets, the report from Philippine National Police Bicol said. Anti-gambling campaign launched February 28 after illegal activity became “more rampant” Cases included illicit use of payment platforms, live broadcasts of gambling on illegal casino sites Informants on illegal gambling operations in Jilin province eligible for rewards of up to $7,000. The government campaign also seeks to cut down on illegal gambling, given that the adult entertainment slots undermine the agency’s budget and, as a result, Puerto Rico’s promotional and marketing efforts are affected, because it reduces income generated by hotel-run casino slot machines. At least 5 of the 16 indicted Tuesday in a racketeering and illegal gambling investigation donated to Howard's campaign, according to campaign contribution reports.
