(AsiaGameHub) - Public prosecutors in China have warned that drivers who transport bettors to illegal gambling venues risk facing prison time. According to a report by the Chinese newspaper Gansu Daily, the Gaolan County People’s Procuratorate issued a public warning clarifying that both transporting gamblers and moving gambling equipment are criminal acts. The procuratorate noted a widespread misunderstanding of the law, with many falsely believing that only active bettors can face prosecution under Chinese statutes. However, prosecutors emphasized that judicial authorities have already issued prison terms and substantial fines to multiple individuals acting as "accomplices" to gambling operations. A spokesperson for the prosecution added that legal action is not limited to drivers. Couriers and individuals employed as lookouts for these illicit operations are also subject to prosecution. This warning is part of an intensified crackdown by law enforcement agencies targeting the rising number of clandestine gambling syndicates. To evade police detection, groups of Chinese gamblers have increasingly turned to hosting games in secluded countryside spots and vacant structures. These groups frequently rely on a system of sentries to alert them if law enforcement is spotted. Lookouts Also Face Prison in Chinese Gambling Crackdown To illustrate, the spokesperson cited a recent case involving a gambling ring that operated out of "vacant properties and isolated forested mountain areas." Earlier this year, a Gaolan County court heard that the syndicate reached out to three individuals, identified as Zhang, Li Jia, and Li Yi, in September 2024. Gaolan County, China. (Photo: TowerCard [CC BY-SA 3.0]) According to prosecutors, the ring employed Zhang and Li Jia to transport gamblers to and from the secret venues using their personal cars. The syndicate also compensated the pair for moving various gambling equipment to the sites. Meanwhile, Li Yi was hired to guard the entrance of the dens. The ring's leader, surnamed Wei, instructed Li Yi to raise the alarm if police officers or any suspicious strangers approached. The three individuals performed their roles effectively, leading Wei to hire them on a regular basis. In total, the three men earned "several thousand yuan" for their services, prosecutors noted. One thousand yuan is equivalent to approximately $150. ‘A Direct Causal Connection’ Following a police raid that dismantled the operation, the court ruled that Zhang, Li Jia, and Li Yi "carried out tasks essential to the gambling ring's ongoing survival and its capacity to dodge law enforcement." Prosecutors argued that the actions of the three men "had a direct causal relationship" with the illegal gambling activities carried out by the group. The court concurred, finding that the defendants had "knowingly offered direct support" to individuals engaged in criminal gambling activities. All three were convicted of gambling-related offenses and received six-month prison sentences, which were suspended for one year. Additionally, the judge ordered each of them to pay a fine of approximately $450. No Legal Loopholes “There are no grey areas in gambling-related crimes,” the prosecution spokesperson warned. “Assisting gambling operations is itself a criminal act. Do not be lured by high payouts or assume you can escape liability by merely helping these syndicates.” Under Chinese law, operators of small-scale gambling rings can face up to three years in prison. Those running illegal casinos face even harsher penalties, with organizers subject to a minimum of five years and a maximum of 10 years behind bars. In a bizarre incident earlier this month, a man in Anshan, Liaoning Province, contacted the police to complain that his fellow players had cheated during an illicit gambling session. “Please secure justice for me,” he reportedly urged during the phone call. His call ultimately led to the arrest and subsequent imprisonment of the entire group by the court. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - Another prominent professional snooker player has voiced their support for a campaign aimed at removing the sport from Thailand's gambling regulations. These recent statements were made by 18-year-old Panchaya Channoi, also known as “Mind Sakol,” upon her return from securing the Women’s World Championship title, as reported by the Thai media outlet Siam Sport. Channoi defied expectations by defeating the 12-time champion and world number four, Britain's Reanne Evans, with a score of six frames to two in the tournament's final held in Dongguan, China. The young Thai player overcame Chinese competitor Bai Yulu and former Thai world champion Nutcharut Wongharuthai on her path to the final. Earlier this month, the emerging talent also claimed the World Under-21 Women’s Championship. However, snooker professionals and the sport's governing body in Thailand have expressed dissatisfaction that snooker is still categorized as a “gambling-like activity” under a law enacted in 1935.

(Image: WPBSA/YouTube/Screenshot) Snooker: Gambling Laws Still Apply Channoi's victory follows closely on the heels of Thai snooker superstar Thepchaiya Un-Nooh winning the men's title just weeks prior. Un-Nooh, nicknamed “F1,” also endorsed the proposal after his final match victory against Ronnie O’Sullivan, a legendary figure in the sport. He informed media representatives that snooker has “long been part of Thai society.” Advocates against gambling in Thailand are also backing the initiative. Upon her return from China, Channoi reportedly “urged the government and relevant parties to help push for snooker to be removed from the Gambling Act.” The young champion stated that her experience competing internationally, particularly in China, demonstrated that many nations “seriously support” snooker's standing as a sport. Kongsak Yodmani, Governor of the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT), announced earlier this year that the SAT would formally request the Ministry of the Interior to revise the 1935 act. 1935 Law a Barrier for Commercial Support Executives from the Billiard Sports Association of Thailand, including its president Sunthorn Jarumong, met Channoi at the airport upon her arrival. Jarumong informed the media that the cost of sending athletes to compete in professional snooker tournaments can reach up to 2 million baht annually (exceeding $61,000). He suggested that removing the association with gambling could encourage private sector investment in supporting Thai athletes. “I would like to appeal to Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul […] to consider lifting the restrictions on snooker,” stated the association's president. “This will open up more opportunities for the development of Thai sports.” Under the existing regulations, snooker clubs are required to obtain special operating permits, a process that discourages smaller sports facilities from applying. This classification also hinders the growth of snooker-related infrastructure, including programs for youth development. Furthermore, it complicates the organization and funding of commercial snooker competitions. Experts believe this situation deters many promising young players from pursuing the sport. Match-fixing Concerns The snooker world has experienced significant disruptions in recent years due to controversies surrounding match-fixing and illegal betting. In 2023, the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association imposed bans on 10 prominent Chinese players for their involvement in a match-fixing scheme. Additionally, in 2013, a British professional player alleged that a betting syndicate based in Asia had offered him money to intentionally lose a match. The same player also claimed that an unnamed player ranked within the world's top 10 had deliberately lost a match against him. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - Kazakhstan is expanding its gambling zones significantly, as the government has revealed plans for multiple new zones in urban areas and well-known resort spots. Current legislation allows gambling only in two locations: Konaev city in the Almaty region and the Shchuchinsk-Borovoye resort area in the north-central Akmola region. However, on May 17, 2026, the government unveiled new gambling zones along the Caspian Sea coast, as well as in Zaysan and Markakol. Additionally, starting July 1, gambling operators will be allowed to open casinos in Alatau city, according to Kazakh media outlet Zakon. The government initially announced its expansion plans in January. Back then, the tourism ministry estimated that each new casino could generate approximately $6 million in tax revenue. Kazakhstan’s Gambling Zones: Ambitions for a Small City In 2007, Kazakhstan prohibited all land-based casinos, slot machine parlors, bookmakers, and betting establishments, though it made the two previously mentioned exceptions. While adding more coastal resorts aligns with the government’s 2007 strategy, including an urban center in the list of gambling zones represents a significant shift. Zakon, citing government sources, stated that the objective of the Alatau “project” is “to create an economic, technological, scientific, educational, commercial, entertainment, and investment center of international importance.” The Kazakh government has ambitious expectations for Alatau, aiming to turn it into a partially deregulated zone that draws foreign businesses and cryptocurrency companies. The city of Alatau in the Almaty Region, Kazakhstan. (Image: Nikolai Bulykin [CC BY-SA 4.0]) The town, previously called Zhetygen, has roughly 55,000 inhabitants. The government intends to convert it into a bustling metropolis with a population of 2 million by 2050. Businesses establishing operations in Alatau will receive special tax incentives. The government will also permit them to use various foreign currencies as legal tender. Additionally, the government will allow the use of English in official paperwork. The tax incentives will cover exemptions from corporate tax, property tax, and specific types of VAT. Furthermore, “highly qualified foreign specialists” will be exempt from income tax. “Secured digital assets” will also be tax-free. Plans to Build a Global Business Hub “What was once a regular village,” noted Zakon journalist Andrey Gubenko in another article for the same outlet, “needs to evolve into a smart city and a global business hub in the near future.” According to the government’s revised regulations concerning Alatau, city officials have “the authority to recognize licenses, permits, accreditations, and other documents that confirm the right to conduct activities—issued by countries with high-quality infrastructure and/or international organizations as specified by the administration.” As a result, given the current situation, Gubenko stated that this could enable the city to draw a diverse array of foreign gaming operators. The plans, the journalist added, would permit foreign investors to open either a land-based or online casino in Alatau “using a license issued in another country.” Towards the end of last year, Australian law enforcement arrested a Kazakh couple accused of using a hidden camera and earpieces to cheat at casino table games. The duo used these devices to win approximately $800,000 at the Crown Sydney Casino. This article is provided by a third-party.

PropellerAds, a global leading performance advertising platform, has recently launched Interactive Ads, a new ad format designed to help advertisers improve click quality and achieve higher conversion rates. (AsiaGameHub) - Traditional online advertising often delivers high click volumes but low conversion rates. The issue is not always the budget or creativity, but the quality of the clicks themselves. Advertising budgets are frequently consumed by users who have little interest in the product or service, while those with genuine purchase intent represent only a small portion. To address this challenge, PropellerAds introduces Interactive Ads—an ad format that engages users before they reach the landing page. What Are Interactive Ads? Interactive Ads require users to complete a lightweight interaction—such as swiping, selecting, taking a mini quiz, or clicking a confirmation—before entering the landing page. This brief step, taking only a few seconds, effectively filters high-intent users. Users who are not genuinely interested or accidentally click are unlikely to continue, while those who engage are more attentive and more likely to convert. Why Conversions Are Higher Compared to traditional ads, Interactive Ads introduce an “engagement step” before the click, improving traffic quality. Users move from passively receiving information to actively participating, which increases attention and purchase intent. As a result, advertising budgets are focused on high-intent users, improving overall conversion efficiency. Simple Implementation Interactive Ads do not increase operational complexity. The platform automatically matches the most suitable interaction type based on advertiser goals and user characteristics, without the need for additional creative assets or technical development. Advertisers can activate Interactive Ads directly within their existing campaign workflows to efficiently filter traffic and optimize conversions. Integration with Other Ad Formats In a complete advertising strategy, Interactive Ads can serve as a bridge between user interest and final conversion. For example, Social Commerce can generate initial interest and traffic and Interactive Ads can filter high-intent users. This behaviour-driven approach improves overall performance and makes budget use more efficient. Who Can Benefit Interactive Ads are suitable for advertisers focused on conversion-driven campaigns, including e-commerce and app promotion, financial and tools products, content growth, and user acquisition. They are especially valuable for advertisers with strict requirements on traffic quality and ROI. In an era of increasingly scarce user attention, it is more valuable to make each click count than to pursue sheer click volume. The value of Interactive Ads lies in creating a more rational user journey, making every step more effective and bringing every advertising dollar closer to conversion. Additionally, PropellerAds was recently featured in the Summer Report by G2, one of the world’s largest software marketplaces. The recognition is based on verified customer reviews, market presence, and real user feedback collected through G2’s evaluation process, highlighting products that deliver strong performance and meaningful value to customers.

(AsiaGameHub) - A recent federal court filing detailing the case against an illicit Indiana gambling ring has exposed how the FBI dismantled the operation. An undercover agent managed to infiltrate restaurants run by the syndicate, but his actions sparked suspicion, leading to a high-speed car chase by one of the members. According to the document, the covert operative "routinely met with James Gerodemos and his associates, observing the structure, organization, procedures, and accomplices involved in Gerodemos’ gambling operation." Gerodemos is accused of leading the illegal betting enterprise, which reportedly brought in up to $5 million. He was indicted last month alongside 21 co-defendants. The Agent Sparks Suspicion One of the indicted individuals, Michael Campbell, became suspicious in March of last year after the agent questioned him about a red notebook that Gerodemos regularly carried. The operative suspected the book was a ledger used to record illegal wagers. Campbell brushed off the questions, suggesting Gerodemos likely used it for his "sketches, his artwork in there, his doodlings." Shortly after that interaction, Campbell sent a text message to Gerodemos warning him about the agent, the government filing states. “Keep your mouth shut around this [UCE] guy I’m telling you man,” Campbell wrote. “Trust me on this man.” Syndicate Suspected Covert Recording Devices The following day, Campbell forwarded Gerodemos a TikTok video link that warned about hidden cameras and advertised a detector for sale. He followed up by texting the agent's name, followed by punctuation indicating alarm. Investigators later obtained a search warrant for Gerodemos' iCloud account, but only recovered data up to the day Campbell sent the warning. Authorities believe Gerodemos disabled his iCloud backup function as his suspicions mounted. Although all 22 indicted men have pleaded not guilty, investigators maintain that the evidence against them is substantial. Evidence detailed in the filing includes photos of Gerodemos chewing on a stack of cash, as well as screenshots of ABCWagering, the illicit betting website the group allegedly ran. Evidence presented against James Gerodemos. Image: USDC Northern District Of Indiana Hammond Division The Mayor of Burr Ridge has publicly defended co-defendant and restaurant owner Filippo “Gigi” Rovito. Rovito reportedly has connections to the Cicero Crew, a Chicago-based organized crime group originally founded by Al Capone. High-Speed Pursuit of the Undercover Agent Friction between the undercover operative and the syndicate members peaked in April of last year, a few weeks after the discussion regarding the red notebook. After watching the agent leave a meeting with Gerodemos, Campbell pursued him in his GMC pickup. The filing states that Campbell followed the undercover agent while driving recklessly at speeds exceeding 100 mph. The document notes that “Campbell continuously weaved in and out of traffic, approached the rear of one of thesurveillance vehicle and began tailgating them and flashing his brights in attempts to catch up to the undercover agent.” Several phone calls were exchanged between Campbell and Gerodemos during the high-speed chase. “It’s incredibly dangerous. It’s just like in the movies,” former Assistant U.S. Attorney Ron Safer told NBC Chicago. “If they discover that you’re an undercover operative, your life is on the line because people know that they’re going to go to jail if you testify and survive. So it’s very dangerous. It’s very tricky. And I can’t tell you the number of times on a wiretap people say, ‘Be careful, our phone might be tapped,’ but they still talk.” This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the United States’ financial regulatory body, has finalized a prediction markets-focused Memorandum of Understanding agreement with the National Hockey League (NHL). This partnership arrives as professional sports leagues across the US seek to prevent insider trading activity on prediction markets. The announcement also comes just days after the CFTC signed an identical agreement with Major League Baseball. The CFTC noted that the agreement with the NHL will “protect the integrity of professional hockey and maintain fair and transparent prediction markets.” In a post on X, CFTC Chairman Michael Selig stated that the MOU will strengthen data sharing between professional sports leagues and his agency. “Together, we’re taking another step toward safeguarding the integrity of sports and protecting market participants in prediction markets from abuses,” he wrote. NHL: Prediction Markets Initiatives Trading of NHL-related contracts is surging on platforms including Polymarket. As of this report’s publication, total trading volume for contracts predicting the outright winner of the 2026 Stanley Cup is nearing the $80 million mark. Trading volumes for contracts tied to the May 22 NHL Conference Finals matchup between the Colorado Avalanche and the Vegas Golden Knights have surpassed $140,000 on the same platform. Last October, the NHL signed a multi-year licensing agreement with Polymarket and fellow prediction market operator Kalshi. This historic agreement was the first of its kind, marking the first instance a top US professional sports league had agreed to partner with prediction market operators. The deal granted Kalshi and Polymarket permission to use NHL logos on their platforms. In exchange, the two operators committed to rolling out customer protection measures for professional hockey-related contracts. As a result, the two platforms now state they will not accept trading activity from “current and former [NFL] players, coaches, and staff.” Controversy Mounts US professional sports leagues appear largely comfortable with outright contracts tied to the final outcomes of upcoming games. But controversy has emerged around events that can be easily manipulated by a single individual. Contracts linked to specific words or phrases used by NHL commentators during televised game broadcasts remain popular on these platforms. National Football League officials have called on the CFTC to crack down on trading for contracts tied to these types of easily manipulated events. Senior gaming industry officials have also raised doubts about the CFTC’s oversight of prediction market operators. Among these critics is American Gaming Association CEO Bill Miller. Miller testified before the Senate this week that the CFTC should focus its work on financial markets, and not “Monday Night Football.” New Jersey is seeking to bring its ongoing legal battle against Kalshi to the Supreme Court. Legal experts say the Garden State has a strong chance of winning, noting that the “overwhelmingly conservative” views of the court’s justices could work in New Jersey’s favor. But the regulator is standing firm on its position. The CFTC continues to fight legal disputes against states that have attempted to ban Kalshi and Polymarket. Spectators look on as two NHL teams compete during a game. (Image: Egon Eagle [CC BY-SA 4.0]) Meanwhile, Selig stated the new NHL deal will “solidify the intent to share information and coordinate to protect the integrity of both professional hockey and related event contracts offered on CFTC-regulated exchanges.” The CFTC and NHL have confirmed they have appointed dedicated representatives for the partnership. These individuals will reportedly “communicate regularly to discuss issues related to integrity, share information confidentially, and ensure open lines of communication.” The NHL says it will deploy “layered protections” to monitor hockey-related prediction markets, adding that it will “work directly with its partners to ensure integrity.” This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - A court has overruled Attorney General Rob Bonta, blocking his proposed measures to restrict California cardrooms. Bonta first introduced the restrictions, which included a ban on blackjack, last year. The California Gaming Association (CGA) challenged the legality of the new rules by filing a lawsuit against Bonta. On Thursday, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Richard Darwin ruled that Bonta’s office “likely exceeded its authority by adopting regulations that effectively act as a statewide ban on some of the cardroom’s most popular table games. The Court also found clear and convincing evidence that the Bureau’s enforcement of the regulations would irreparably injure cardrooms and their communities.” pic.twitter.com/ddBQjS4jSx— CA Gaming Association (@CACardRooms) May 21, 2026 Judge Darwin issued a preliminary injunction in favor of the CGA, allowing the cardrooms to continue operating as usual while the case remains pending. Ruling Saves Jobs and Revenue, Says CGA “The Court’s ruling is an important step towards preventing severe and unnecessary harm to cities, workers, and small businesses that depend on the cardroom industry,” said Kyle Kirkland, President of the CGA. Kirkland owns and operates the Club One Casino in Fresno, where 60% of revenue comes from player-dealer games and 20% from blackjack. The outright ban on blackjack eliminates 20% of the establishment’s business and leaves 40% at risk due to new player-deal rotation rules. “These are easily the most disruptive set of regulations that I have seen during my tenure in the cardroom industry, which spans two decades now,” Kirkland told the Sacramento Bee. “I’m not sure most cardrooms would survive because this is such a drastic change.” Cardroom workers staged a protest outside a hotel in Sacramento where Bonta was scheduled to speak on Thursday. The workers held signs that read “No cardrooms, no jobs,” while other signs unrelated to the issue, such as “Don’t defund the police” and “Don’t defund fire,” were also visible. What Were The Proposals? Bonta’s proposal focused on two key aspects of cardroom operations: Player-dealer rotation: Only players seated at the table — not third-party proposition player service employees — may act as the dealer. Players must rotate every 20 minutes. Blackjack-style games: The rules would prohibit using “21” as a target number, remove “busting,” eliminate blackjack terminology, and alter tie outcomes. Cardrooms argue that these changes would make blackjack-style games commercially unviable, effectively removing some of the industry’s most popular offerings. What Next? The ruling is only temporary, with the next hearing scheduled for June 30. Tribal groups have actively contested cardroom expansion into what they claim are tribal exclusive games. James Siva, Chairman of the California Nations Indian Gaming Association (CNIGA), praised the regulations as an “important step” to combat “unscrupulous and illegal gaming in California.” Tribes have attempted to halt cardrooms from offering these games through various means, but efforts have so far been unsuccessful. A judge in Sacramento ruled against tribes that had filed lawsuits against cardrooms last year. In her ruling, Judge Lauri A. Damrell stated that the tribes’ suit was “preempted by the Federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA)” and that “severance cannot resolve IGRA preemption.” Bonta has supported tribal exclusivity for gaming, declaring DFS illegal last year, and has also attempted to restrict cardrooms. Siva also mentioned that Bonta is considering action against prediction markets. “We are very protective of our sovereignty,” Bonta told Business Insider last month. He indicated that he “firmly disagrees” with the CFTC’s stance that federal laws preempt states from regulating prediction markets. “The fact that we haven’t sued, I think you should not read too much into it,” he added. Tribal groups are significant contributors to Bonta’s political campaigns, as reported by Politico. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - Survivor host Jeff Probst issued an apology this week after accidentally revealing a portion of the season finale. He disclosed that a contestant would leave the show prior to the official announcement. For numerous viewers, the outcome was already known—Kalshi’s markets for the pre-recorded series had essentially determined the winner seven months earlier. Kalshi, while confirming it’s investigating insider trading on these markets, maintained that it’s more probable users were just making online guesses about the results. Robert Denault, Kalshi’s Head of Enforcement, shared on X: “We continue to investigate insider trading in Survivor markets, but the below still holds true: so far, no traders with large positions seem to have a relationship to the show or to the network. Thousands of traders took early positions aligning with the final result, likely because of public rumors. And public rumors don’t equal insider information.” Users Challenge Kalshi Assertion An X user challenged Kalshi’s claim that insiders weren’t involved in the trading. The evidence we’ve reviewed led us to the subreddit “SpoiledSurvivor” (which has 71k weekly visitors). A Redditor who has successfully predicted the outcome of the last few Survivor seasons made a post 7 months ago (before Kalshi’s Survivor market was even live) claiming Aubry…— robertjdenault (@robertjdenault) May 21, 2026 Denault stated the trading probably originated from members of the “SpoiledSurvivor” subreddit, where the user ‘lifetimerobot’ predicted Aubry would win seven months ago. Reddit posts indicate this user has correctly foreseen the winner in three prior seasons. “They’re shifting blame to lifetimerobot instead of the clear insiders active in that market,” one user commented. Other users echoed this sentiment, firmly convinced insider trading was occurring on Kalshi. “There is obviously insider trading,” another user wrote. “Cirie never had the same level of support on Kalshi as she did in this subreddit. And let’s not even talk about the episode-specific spikes in insider trading for eliminations after screeners were released.” From the moment Kalshi’s market launched, Aubry—who went on to win—had an overwhelming probability of taking the title. Cirie, whom users say had strong backing in the subreddit, did get some support on Kalshi’s market. Her winning odds climbed above 20% last month but dropped again as the season neared its end. Episode Market Flip Points Against Insider Trading All told, more than $32 million was traded on the winner market. Kalshi also provided markets for weekly eliminations, which typically forecasted who would be voted off correctly. The company pointed out, though, that in episode 11, Cirie—originally expected to be eliminated—stayed. A day before the episode aired, the market gave Cirie an 80% chance of leaving, but the odds shifted drastically right before the episode where Ozzy and Emily were sent home. More than $870,000 was traded on that market. The sudden change in odds implies insiders weren’t placing bets here—at least not until the episode’s air date. It’s also possible some insiders only received the information the day the show was broadcast. Minnesota Bans Markets, CFTC Defends With Lawsuit Survivor contestants are required to sign strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) that bar them from sharing in-game outcomes, cast details, or filming information—with possible penalties of up to $5 million. But since the show is filmed well ahead of its air date, leaks are always a possibility. A team of lawyers told the New York Times that it would likely be legal for someone to bet on the markets even if their neighbor was a contestant who’d recently purchased a new sports car—so long as the contestant didn’t directly share that they’d won. Several lawmakers want to limit these markets, including Minnesota, which recently prohibited betting on entertainment event contracts, along with sports and other types of markets. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) filed a lawsuit against the state, claiming Minnesota is overstepping its authority by trying to regulate a federally licensed exchange. The CFTC specifically took issue with the state’s ban on weather-related markets, which it argues are critical for farmers to hedge against risks. Members of Congress have also proposed legislation to ban betting on markets where outcomes are already determined. Sen. Chris Murphy, one of the sponsors of the BETS OFF Act, stated: “Any prediction market where somebody knows or controls the outcome of a bet is ripe for corruption”. It’s still uncertain whether Survivor markets were manipulated by insiders or if, as Kalshi claims, online speculation was the driving force behind the trades.

(AsiaGameHub) - Authorities in the Thai resort city of Pattaya are intensifying their crackdown on unlawful gambling operations, apprehending seven individuals during a sting at a nail salon. According to the Thai news agency Siam Rath, officers from the Pattaya South precinct discovered seven individuals engaged in a poker game at the Chouly Nails establishment, located in the Nong Prue Subdistrict within Bang Lamung District. Law enforcement officials documented the scene with photographs prior to storming the location and taking all seven suspects into custody on charges related to illegal gambling. The photographic evidence depicts seven individuals seated on client sofas, utilizing a large towel to serve as a makeshift gaming surface. A substantial pile of banknotes is visible in the middle of this improvised table. The group seemingly made minimal effort to conceal their actions; the lights were illuminated, and the alleged gamblers were playing adjacent to a large glass door facing the street. Authorities stated the operation took place at approximately 2:00 AM on May 19. Investigators noted that the raid was prompted by information received from a civilian tipster. A busy commercial street in Pattaya, Thailand. (Image: Hanny Naibaho) Pattaya Nail Salon: Suspects Allegedly ‘Showed No Fear of Law Enforcement’ The source informed officers that "a group of gamblers" was conducting card games "openly, without fear of legal repercussions" inside the salon. Police reported seizing a deck of playing cards along with an unspecified amount of money. Subsequently, the seven detainees were transported to the Pattaya City Police Station for interrogation. During questioning, one detainee allegedly explained that following the shop's closure, the staff gathered for drinks and subsequently "initiated a poker game." Although the individuals apprehended at the nail salon appear to be Thai citizens, Pattaya law enforcement officials have observed a rise in gambling offenses involving foreign nationals. Earlier this month, three individuals holding Chinese passports suffered injuries while leaping from second-story windows of a villa in Pattaya in an attempt to evade a police raid. Police stated the residence had been transformed into a clandestine VIP wagering venue. Emergency medical personnel attended to the injured men before transporting them to a local medical facility. Authorities have since filed gambling-related charges against the three men, as well as several other Chinese nationals. Authorities Keeping Watch on Foreign Nationals In late 2024, officers raided a property in Pattaya that South Korean tenants had allegedly converted into a headquarters for a $3.7 million online gambling operation. Internet-based casinos are prohibited under the laws of both South Korea and Thailand. Police indicated the group consisted of more than a dozen "staff members" who utilized the two-story detached home as an ad hoc office. The property featured tight security measures, including a perimeter fence and the installation of closed-circuit television cameras. Officers stated that those arrested offered sports betting and virtual casino services to a client base exceeding 20,000 people in South Korea. Investigators note that specific housing developments in certain districts have gained notoriety among international visitors. Many lease villas in secluded neighborhoods where some "participate in illicit operations involving call centers and online gambling," according to police reports. Meanwhile, in Phuket, law enforcement dismantled an illicit poker club in February that catered solely to Russian speakers. The Chalong police force reported finding a promotional post on Instagram in Russian regarding the club during a standard internet scan. The advertisement directed users to a WhatsApp group that disseminated the schedule for future gambling events. It is reported that the organizers required prospective poker players to pay approximately $650 for each session. This article is provided by a third-party.
