On-line betting threat
Bangkok Post
|May 15, 2025
Amid a surge of contrary opinions, it would be no surprise if the The casino-entertainment complex bill that the Pheu Thai government has sponsored runs into hurdles when it goes for its reading in parliament in July.
-
Despite so, opponents of the bill and those who disagree with gambling legalisation generally cannot be complacent.
While people are focusing their attention on the casino complex law, the government is quietly amending the outdated Gambling Act 1935 and regulations under the Ministry of Digital and Social Economy to regulate on-line betting.
Some provisions will open the door for local and national governments to approve on-line betting activities such as gaming for boxing and football matches.
Since early this year, the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society have amended various laws to regulate on-line betting. The latest draft law was put out for a public hearing in January and February, and 60% of over 4,300 participants agreed with the changes, while 40% did not.
