The Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau has dismantled the MNGAME888 online gambling network, conducting raids at four locations in Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Pathum Thani, and Bangkok, resulting in the arrest of four operators with over 5,000 members.
On August 15, Senior Police General Surpol Premburt, commander of the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau, ordered coordinated search operations at four target locations across the country.
At the first location in Pan District, Chiang Rai, officers arrested Dalphat, 27, who served as an admin and advertisement operator for the website. The second raid in Chiang Mai's Muang District led to the arrest of Chatchaya, 30, who promoted the website. At the third location in Pathum Thani's Muang District, Siritrap, 41, a beneficiary of the website, was not initially found but was later arrested in the Luk Si area of Bangkok. The fourth raid in Bangkok's Bang Kok Yai District resulted in the arrest of Wisrut, 31, who managed admin operations and maintained accounts for deposits and withdrawals. Officers seized one computer, three notebooks, six mobile phones, and six bank account documents.
Investigators discovered that MNGAME888 had been operating for over a year with more than 5,000 members and an average monthly turnover exceeding 12 million baht, or approximately 144 million baht annually. The platform offered illegal online gambling services including foreign football betting, lottery, slots, baccarat, tiger-dragon, and other games. Following investigation, police identified admin networks spread across multiple locations and obtained court-approved arrest and search warrants. All suspects face charges of organizing illegal gambling, facilitating gambling through direct or indirect promotion, and allowing unauthorized use of financial accounts. Cases are being processed according to law.
