What's the difference between gambling and fraud?
Legal analysis: First, they infringe on different objects. The object of the crime of fraud is limited to the property of the state, the collective or the individual, and no other illegal interests may be defrauded. Its goal should also exclude loans from financial institutions. The object of gambling crime is socialist social fashion. Second, the crime of fraud and the crime of gambling are different in the nature of "cheating". The crime of fraud is an act of illegally obtaining public and private property by deception for the purpose of illegal possession. Its main feature is "cheating". Gambling crimes are often accompanied by cheating, but this kind of cheating is different from cheating in fraud. Deception in the crime of fraud is to create false facts to induce others to participate in gambling, and gambling itself depends on accidental facts to decide whether to win or lose, and its purpose is still to achieve profits through gambling, rather than illegal possession.
