Zhejiang Teng chi Xia Jiapin said law firm partner, from nature, one money you might have a chance or probability, such acts belonging to the civil behavior of aleatory contract. Organizations subject to such acts in our country, is needed on the administrative examination and approval, without the approval and often engaged in such acts for illegal operations, such as lottery ticket sales. If organizations in practical operation, the operators, through deceptive means to control the rate of winning and winning, you may also be arrested for fraud.

Many netizens, such "a buy" at the beginning people hold a "chance" mentality of entertainment, sometimes surprising, but slowly the platform to lure Internet users to become a professional "people" is addictive.

Gao Yandong, for innovative marketing mode that society should encourage, innovation must not break the law but the bottom line, disturbed the normal market order.
