Gambling debt recovery website comes under scrutiny

Bad debtors in Macau named and shamed

A website focussing on bad debtors who play in the gambling hub of Macau and do not pay up their gambling losses are being named and shamed with photos, personal details and names being displayed.

The name of the website, Wonderful World in English is in both Chinese and English languages, which has already managed to recoup over $8 million (50 million Yuan) for casino operators but has now come under the scrutiny of law enforcement officials in China.

Most of the names on the website are Chinese nationals who have a ranking on bad debts from 90 which could mean they owe a small amount and likely to pay to 100 which means have a high amount of debt and are very unlikely to pay. But with so much personal information given about the players police in China say that the website could be breaking the law over privacy concerns.

Casino operators in Macau cannot reclaim bad debts from Chinese players under current laws and this novel site has seen a way of assisting operators into shaming bad debtors.

According to reports all postings of bad debtors is free and the website makes money from a percentage of recovered debts.
