Chinese Internet celebrity Guo Meimei has been sentenced to five years in prison for running an illegal casino.

In a ruling handed down in a Dongcheng District People’s Court on Thursday, Guo was also fined 50,000 yuan ($7840).

During the hearing, Guo admitted inviting people to play high-stakes poker involving 2.1 million yuan at an apartment in Beijing between March and July 2013 but denied running an illegal casino. Guo’s associate Zhao Xiaolai helped her collect the money using a point-of-sale computer terminal.

Zhao was sentenced to two years in jail time and fined 20,000 yuan, while Guo’s other associates, including ex-boyfriend who is a professional poker player, will face trial at the later date.
