Chairman Of The Board Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I understand that gambling is illegal in Thailand (with the exception of the lottery and the ponies) but what is the status of playing online poker? Can someone make enough money from online poker to support themselves in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtoad Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Would this be like what some of The Digital nomads do? Not sure, but would a WP be needed as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soutpeel Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 As your new to TV, you may not know all the rules about posting questions like this, as you have correctly stated it is illegal in Thailand, even the on line version, although I am led to believe large numbers of self professed digital nomads, ie those who profess to run on line business's in Thailand are infact supporting themselves financially in this manner in Thailand, I have also heard rumors about something called poker dens or houses in Thailand where these multiple Digital nomads share the rent on a house or accommodation and all they do is play poker illegally on line all day and share costs.

Soutpeel Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Would this be like what some of The Digital nomads do? Not sure, but would a WP be needed as well? Mr Toad, I believe you could be right....as we have established even on line poker playing is illegal, on suspects a WP couldn't be had and examples like this are a case for Thailand never giving a long term visa for on line activists as a some "on line business' are in fact highly illegal in Thailand, certainly where farangs are concerned, therefore the the authorities cannot control what sort of "business" is occurring on line another example could be participating in the production of pornographic material in Thailand for use on line, whether straight or gay porn.

They are called "grind houses" & i would advise stay clear of any place like this. If you research "grind house Thailand" you will find info related to your questions OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you keep the discussion general and none specific you may not be breaking TV rules as such, but you really cant be asking specifics of where these places are in Thailand....I am sure there are many who engage in this who may be members on TV but they can only contact you via the pm facility not on the an open forum..
