I had a bet the other day that the Thai government will do that...

WHERE is BIG JOKE today April the 1st?

Wants to open casinos but crackdown on online gambling. So not against gambling then, they just want to be the one raking in the profits, a monopoly on misery and addiction.

Means absolutely nothing, the websites are essentially nothing more than landing pages with unique refferal codes for the people promoting it anyway. The actual casino things just keep running, all they have to do is use some new IP addresses and it's back online. Same for the 'websites' by just registering another domain name. 

 

The fact they took down so many, if that is not just another lie as well, means there are hundreds of thousands left online.
