Police Bust Online Gambling Network, Seize 3 Million Baht
Police arrested three suspects and seized 3 million baht in assets after dismantling the Premsuk365 online gambling network, which processed approximately 1.5 billion baht monthly through layered financial transfers and digital currency con
On September 11, acting on orders from the Police Department's Deputy Commissioner, officers led a takedown of the Premsuk365 online gambling network. Three suspects were arrested in Bangkok and Nonthaburi: Chaiyawat, 32; Atipat, 37; and Naresb, 33. Police seized a Toyota Vellfire Z Premier van, mobile phones, and iPads valued at over 3 million baht.
The investigation began after the Financial Crime Prevention unit at Krung Thai Bank flagged financial flows connected to the Premsuk365 network. The money moved through multiple layered transfers before entering payment gateways, then was converted into digital currency. The network processed approximately 1.5 billion baht monthly.
On August 18, police launched Operation Seventy-Four Million, conducting raids at four locations across Bangkok and Chon Buri. They arrested multiple members of the money-moving and cash-withdrawal gang, seizing over 74 million baht. The expanded operation led to charges against Chaiyawat as the main operator directing withdrawals, Atipat who handled cash withdrawals for delivery to the network owner, and Naresb who owned the receiving accounts and assisted with withdrawals.
During questioning, Chaiyawat claimed he was merely a subordinate collecting funds from the withdrawal network to pass along to the website owner. Atipat admitted to withdrawing and delivering cash to the beneficiaries. Naresb declined to give a statement. Police are holding all three suspects and seized assets pending further charges, and continue efforts to confiscate additional assets and arrest other network members.
