SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- 500.com Limited WBAI ("500.com" or the "Company"), a leading online sports lottery service provider in China, today released its Blue Paper on Blockchain Technology for China's Lottery Industry (the "Paper").

The Paper, a first of its kind in the sector, provides an in-depth study on the current state and needs of China's lottery industry and outlines plans to drive its sustainable development using blockchain technology. The Paper is primarily based on 500.com's wealth of experience and insights into the lottery industry gained over its many years of operations and leverages its recent research and exploration into the application of blockchain technology.

As a leading player in online sports lottery service in China, 500.com assembled an independent research team in 2015 dedicated to the research, validation, development, and application of blockchain technology to lottery products. Upon such technical strength, the team designed the framework of Chinese Lottery Chain (CLC), a blockchain solution specifically tailored to China's lottery industry.

CLC was designed to be applied across the lottery industry where it will enhance lottery information management security, reduce operational costs and increase efficiency, strengthen the credibility of lottery results in China, and reduce lottery theft and fraud.

500.com strongly supports the application of blockchain technology throughout China's lottery industry and is committed to working independently or in conjunction with other industry players to develop innovative solutions. The Company believes that blockchain technology has unique advantages that will create a new impetus for innovation and development of China's lottery industry.
