In plain words
Jobs like this pay well and have vague requirements. If you take one, you count as an accomplice of the gambling ring. Under the crime of running a gambling venue (开设赌场罪) the sentence is up to 5 years, and 5 to 10 years in serious cases. That is heavier than simply helping out, which carries up to 3 years. In one esports betting app, 28 people who wrote the code got 1 year to 3 years 6 months. A person who unblocked QQ accounts for a fraud ring got 1 year 6 months and a fine of 20,000 CNY.
