Thai cyber police arrested 12 suspects in raids across Bangkok, Samut Prakan and Tak provinces in an alleged online gambling and money-laundering network built around a site called All Game 248. Investigators said the operation handled more than THB900 million a month in the latest three-month period, equal to more than THB10 billion a year, and moved money through bank accounts, mule accounts, payment gateways and cryptocurrency.

Thai Rath reported that the arrests were announced at a press conference on 13 July at the Technology Crime Suppression Division headquarters in Nonthaburi. The operation, called All Game End Game, formed part of a wider crackdown on illegal betting during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Investigators said All Game 248 had been running for about 18 months and had several thousand users. The platform was said to have taken bets on World Cup matches, and Thai Rath separately reported that it also offered foreign football betting, lottery, slots, baccarat and other games.

The user base was described as broad. The Nation said it included school pupils, university students and members of the general public.

Police said the network ran as a layered system in which members had separate duties for collecting, transferring and concealing money. The Nation reported that regional administrators oversaw different parts of the operation.

Investigators identified more than 20 bank accounts directly linked to suspects and more than 200 additional accounts allegedly used to launder proceeds. Individual accounts reportedly recorded monthly inflows and outflows of THB10 million to THB100 million, while funds were routed through a system that received players’ money, held it briefly, then passed it on to accounts controlled by ultimate beneficiaries.

Authorities also said the network used an unauthorised payment-gateway system and corporate mule accounts to obscure the trail. The Nation reported that foreign nationals were reportedly involved in holding some of the accounts.

Among those detained was a former secretary to a provincial administrative organisation president, identified by Thai Rath as Sitthichai Chueathai. Police alleged that he converted cash into cryptocurrency and moved it through digital wallets before passing it to beneficiaries, with investigators believing at least THB500 million a month may have been converted this way.

The raids led to the seizure of about THB3 million in cash, 20 bank passbooks and several electronic devices, and police froze more than THB10 million in bank accounts. The total value of seized and frozen assets was put at more than THB13 million.

Court warrants had been issued for 15 suspects, leaving three still at large. Police said the charges included jointly organising or promoting unauthorised gambling through electronic media, conspiracy to commit money laundering and laundering the proceeds of crime. Investigators said they were still tracing the flow of funds, identifying beneficiaries and working with the Anti-Money Laundering Office to pursue further seizures and freezes.
