How come Thai Rath got the tip off and the gambling den didn't?

Please send a brown envelope with your response.  

Ah!  I have just answered my own question.  Thai Rath still send envelopes but the gambling den didn't send in theirs.

There are several thousands more thai casino sites online.

Just search for "win88" or "game88" and the police have work up to the next year. ????
