TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - China decides to ban social media from promoting online poker applications. The government has said that poker is no longer recognized as a competitive game.

According to Macau-based Gaming Asia, by June 1 all social media will be off limits to online poker and other game ads. This is China's Ministry of Culture's latest policy, which asserted that online poker games are a means to illegal gambling.

However, the government's statement has been rebutted, as online poker players don’t bet with real money. Social media channels, like WeChat, are also prohibited from promoting any form of Texas Hold'em products.
