webfact Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 As many as four million Thais are expected to engage in World Cup 2022 online gambling during the month-long competition, including about one million new participants, according to Thanakorn Komkrit, secretary-general of the Stop Gambling Foundation. He said that, normally, between 3 and 4 million Thai people are regular online football gamblers. During the World Cup, however, that number is expected to climb by about one million, 13% of whom will be youths. From his experience in the efforts to stop gambling during the last World Cup four years ago, Thanakorn admitted that, since gambling has migrated to online platforms, monitoring and control have become more difficult.

But then the police wouldn't make a fortune turning a blind eye to it. Same as after hours drinking, prostitution etc. Make laws that are bound to be broken, then take payment for overlooking said laws.
