Thailand cracks down Slot555 illegal online casino

Thailand police have closed down an illegal online casino website, which was quite popular in four provinces in the country.
The police also arrested 11 individuals in connection with case, including the leader, called Wasan Kaosa-art. Thailand has strict gambling laws. He could end up spending his entire remaining life in prison. According to the police, Wasan operated the gambling site from a server based in Bangkok’s Bueng Kum district. Some Thai media reports referenced a “network” of multiple gambling sites, although Slot555 was the only domain name cited.
The site reportedly had over 10 k customers who lost BHT103 m (US$3.2 m) on its games. The money was funnelled through multiple bank accounts listed under the names of members of Wasan’s family in areas outside Bangkok.
Money was transferred in and out of these accounts by one Chatchai Saengkaew, a programmer who Wasan hired to design the Slot555 website and handle the ring’s technical details. Chatchai has yet to be arrested, along with another five accomplices who are also still on the lam.
The site was promoted via Thai social media channels and often used photos of popular actresses to attract the interest of potential customers.
