Karom Polpornklang, deputy spokesperson at the Office of the Prime Minister, said that the Government was concerned about citizens falling prey to various types of crimes. A large number of people have lost their assets due to gambling.
He said if there are any illegal activities or tip-offs related to online gambling, citizens can report them to the 191 emergency hotline or the National Police Headquarters hotline at 1599, available 24 hours a day.
Players, promoters, and organisers of football gambling would be subject to penalty under the Gambling Act, which includes imprisonment for up to two years or a fine of up to 2,000 THB (55 USD), or both, he warned./.
