2026年6月，全国彩票销售呈现强劲增长态势。财政部公布的数据显示，当月彩票销售总额达759.78亿元，同比增长39.5%；其中体育彩票销售592.21亿元，同比增长62.9%；竞猜型彩票更是大幅攀升，销售476.75亿元，同比增长96%。[1]这一增长与美加墨世界杯赛事的举办密切相关，该赛事于2026年6月12日开赛，7月20日结束。[1]
然而在销售数据亮眼的背后，隐藏着长期的监管困境。自2015年相关部委禁止擅自利用互联网销售彩票以来，十余年间国内网络售彩渠道始终处于全面停摆状态，既没有新增任何平台，既往线上渠道也未恢复。[1]律师杜明怀指出，"国内彩票销售方面的监管过严，客观上会推动这类资金外流。"[1]正是这一监管空白，使得黑灰产业链持续活跃，促使消费者转向海外博彩网站进行投注。[1]
China's lottery market experienced explosive growth in June 2026, with national lottery sales reaching 75.978 billion yuan, representing a year-over-year increase of 39.5 percent [1]. Sports lottery sales climbed even more steeply, surging 62.9 percent to 59.221 billion yuan, while guessing-type lottery products saw the most dramatic spike, skyrocketing 96 percent to 47.675 billion yuan [1]. The surge coincided with the FIFA World Cup hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, which began on June 12 and concluded on July 20, 2026 [1].
However, beneath these growth figures lies a persistent regulatory challenge that has shaped the lottery landscape for over a decade. Since 2015, when relevant government departments prohibited unauthorized internet sales of lottery tickets, China has neither launched new online lottery platforms nor reopened existing channels that previously operated online [1]. This prolonged ban has created conditions for capital outflows, according to legal experts. Lawyer Du Minghuai observed that "overly stringent regulatory oversight of domestic lottery sales has objectively driven these funds to flow overseas" [1]. The restriction has left consumers turning to offshore gambling websites, fueling concerns about unregulated black and gray market activity.
