Immigration police in Siem Reap town yesterday arrested 19 Chinese nationals for allegedly running an illegal online gambling operation, police said.

 

Chea Kamsan, deputy provincial immigration police chief, said the suspects – 18 men and one woman – were arrested in three separate locations in Svay Dangkum commune.

 

“They sell accounts for online games. Now, they are still at the police station for questioning before being sent to court, but it will take some time . . . We only just found [a translator], and we’ve just finished questioning one of them so far,” he said.

"Kamsan declined to divulge the details of the alleged operation or what type of gambling was being facilitated, saying only that the investigation had been carried out with the use of an undercover informant. "----PPP

I always find it difficult to get my head around what this is--especially when they seem reluctant to give the public any details, I know there must be a lot of money involved, as the Thai police also have arrested people over the years.

 

So they get to play a game---Poker etc in a country where its completely legal to play in.?  Is that the type of game that we are talking about ??

What does this have to do with the Thai police?

 

All forms of gambling have been illegal in Cambodia for about 20 years now, though only for Cambodian nationals. Those big casinos welcome the rest of us.
