No More Bets (Chinese: 孤注一掷; pinyin: Gū Zhù Yī Zhì) is a 2023 Chinese crime thriller film directed by Shen Ao and produced by Ning Hao. The film chronicles a story about Chinese people being trafficked overseas to a Southeast Asian country and forced to commit Internet fraud. It features Lay Zhang, Gina Jin, Yong Mei, and Eric Wang. The film was released in China in both regular theaters and IMAX on August 8, 2023 and achieved box office success, earning a gross of over $500 million.[2]

In response to the film, Cambodia banned showings of No More Bets due to its potential allusion to the country and the negative image it portrays, while the film was criticised by the governments of Myanmar and Thailand.
