Betting on sports has spread to middle school campuses in the past few years.

In November 2011, seven students in a middle school in Nanhai district, Foshan, were involved in betting on basketball for 50,840 yuan. The bookie was later sentenced to seven months imprisonment with one year's probation.

Thirty students from a middle school in Dongguan, Guangdong province, were suspended for betting on sports earlier in 2009. The local public security bureau arrested six off-campus bookies one month later.

In 2010, a college in Dongguan required students to sign pledges that they would voluntarily quit school if caught betting on sports.
