Cyber Police Bust Online Gambling Network in Sa Kaeo

Thai cyber police, led by senior officers of the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau, raided a house on 25 June 2026, in village Moo 11, Khlong Nam Sai subdistrict, Aranyaprathet district, Sa Kaeo province, and arrested two suspected administrators of the illegal online gambling network “Mix77”. The suspects, both 27-year-old residents of Sa Kaeo province, were detained under a search warrant issued by the Sa Kaeo Provincial Court (No. 82/2568).

Officers seized a desktop computer, a laptop, a tablet, and two mobile phones believed to be used in running the operation. The site was operating from a residential property located approximately 200 metres from the Cambodian border.

The investigation found that the “Mix77” website had been running for more than one year and had accumulated around 45,000 registered members. Authorities estimated that the network generated about 45 million Thai baht in monthly turnover, or approximately 540 million baht per year.

The platform offered a range of illegal betting services, including football betting, lottery, slot machines, baccarat, dragon tiger, sic bo, and poker. Transactions were conducted through automated bank transfer systems, with users able to deposit and withdraw funds directly via the website. Investigators also found that the operation was supported by administrators who provided customer service and technical assistance to users.

The suspects reportedly confessed to working as online administrators for around four to five months, receiving a salary of 15,000 baht per month from investors believed to be based in Cambodia. Police officials stated that the operation formed part of a wider crackdown on online gambling networks ahead of major international sporting events, including the 2026 football season, which authorities fear could increase youth exposure to gambling.

During digital forensic analysis, investigators discovered that the suspects were also linked to six additional gambling websites, including suk99dd, 99ezbkk, mix77d1, 77acgg, gameplus168.asia, and w45.asia. Authorities said further investigations are ongoing to identify higher-level operators and financial beneficiaries behind the network, particularly those operating across the border in Cambodia.

ȚhaiRath reported that evidence gathered from seized devices will be used to map connections between administrators, payment channels, and related websites. Legal proceedings are expected to continue under charges related to organising and promoting illegal gambling through electronic systems without authorisation.
