I have not said that the lottery is not gambling and if he was happy with his activity and could afford there's no problem.

 

But the topic is on-line gambling. That's a whole different ball game.

 

And just as an afterthought, how does anyone find the time to check all those lottery tickets for a win?

not a whole different, but slightly different,

more specifically the online gambling solves

your second question: no need to check, the online gambling give a receipt and notify you on your win, and in fact send the sum straight into your account, i can only praise online gambling dens, i honestly could not be ar$ed checking them lottery tickets manually

They exist, just use the back-door.

Situated in most police stations.

They can control operations in Thailand but most are outside and with a VPN easily accessible. In fact I'm about to have a flutter on the footie with Paddy Power. Its impossible to control access. It is time Thailand entered the real world. As seen earlier, they are lagging behind Myanmar but as others have correctly stated, too many police, Government officials and other "VIPs" making money from the illegal operations.

I don't know what is the problem to stop illegal online gaming. They just must visit the online casino & gaming sites, check for Thai bank accounts and online paygates, confiscate this bank accounts and bring the owner of this accounts to court for illegal online gaming, computer crime act and money laundering.
 

Hard penalties and publishing the judgement in TV and online will do the rest. ????

But for sure some BIG PLAYERS will be still online with Thai bank accounts.
