The Euro 2020 football tournament may be finished but the crackdown on online football betting and casino games online continued apace yesterday. 

 

Naew Na reported that deputy commander of the RTP and officers from the PCT or cyber tech police raided six places in Thanyaburi, Pathum Thani north of the Thai capital Bangkok.

 

Eighteen arrests (three on warrants) were made at two houses in the Phomphirom and Thanyaphirom housing estates. 

 

Eight luxury cars and 11 million baht was seized along with computer equipment.

It was action against a group operating under the name of MGM99 and their sites @MGM99VP, @MGM99TH and PD24H.com.

 

Bets were taken on the football and many games like bingo and slots. 

 

1.2 billion baht was in circulation. 

 

The delayed EURO 2020 football tournament ended in the early hours of Monday in Thailand.

This looks exactly the same as a house near us. Lots of Chinese men going in, with their luxury cars all on red plates or with special numbers all parked outside. Empty brand name bags and boxes thrown outside for rubbish collection.

Seems like I wasn't the only one to stick a wager on England winning the Euros
