Lottery sales in China are on the up which could lead to a reintroduction of online gaming options across the country according to recent reports.
Following a steady decline in lottery revenue since the Chinese government imposed a temporary ban on online lottery ticket sales in March 2015, April 2016's results showed renewed interest in the industry. Despite sites like 500.com failing to make any money for more than a year, live lottery ticket sales in China were up by 7% (to $5.3 billion) when comparing April 2016 to April 2015.
