The Central Bank of Iran has sent the details of 450,000 bank cards used in online betting and gambling websites to the judiciary, in line with measures for combating online casinos. 
"These cases are placed in three categories, whereby some have been merely cautioned about their illegal activities, some have received warnings from the judiciary bodies over their online betting activities and the third group involved in complex activities are set to face a court ruling," Abdolnasser Hemmati, the CBI governor, was quoted as saying by IRIB News.
