On July 2, 2026, police arrested Arunya (also known as Iris), a 21-year-old from Surin province, for online gambling-related offenses. Investigators discovered an Instagram account with over 55,000 followers posting sexualized images with links to the gambling website "winsiam88." Clicking the link directed users to an illegal online gambling site where they could deposit money and place bets.

During questioning, Arunya confessed to being hired as a content creator to promote the illegal gambling website. She posted approximately 10 promotional posts daily on her Instagram account for over a year, receiving 300 baht per day in compensation. Police charged her under the law prohibiting direct or indirect promotion of unauthorized electronic gambling.

The Dong Muang District Court initially sentenced her to eight months imprisonment but reduced the sentence to four months due to her guilty plea, with no suspension of the sentence.
