Cyber Police Crack Down on Major Gambling Website All Game 248, Arrest Former Local Politician’s Secretary, Shocked by Over 10 Billion Baht Turnover

Cyber police have dismantled the major gambling website All Game 248, revealing an astonishing annual turnover exceeding 10 billion baht. They arrested a former secretary to a local politician along with 12 associates and seized assets worth over 13 million baht.

At 11:00 a.m. on 13 July at the Technology Crime Suppression Division Headquarters (TCSD) in Muang Thong Thani, Pak Kret District, Nonthaburi Province, Pol Maj Gen Thinkorn Rangmat, Deputy Commander of TCSD; Pol Maj Gen Chatchapandkan Klaidklung, Deputy Commander of TCSD; Pol Maj Gen Siriwat Deepor, Commander of TCSD1; Pol Maj Gen Krittach Bamrungrattanayot, Commander of TCSD4; and Pol Maj Gen Songklod Kreekritaya, Commander of the Crime Suppression Division, jointly held a press conference on the "ALL GAME END GAME" operation, which dismantled a 2 billion baht gambling site, arresting a former politician and 12 associates and seizing assets worth over 13 million baht.

Pol Maj Gen Chatchapandkan said that following government policy and directives from Police Chief Pol Gen Kittirat Phanphet, the TCSD and related agencies have intensified crackdowns on online gambling networks, especially football betting sites that brazenly defy the law, and are also focusing on monitoring and preventing youth involvement in online gambling during the 2026 World Cup event.

Investigations by TCSD4 found that the website "All Game 248" had been secretly operating online gambling services including foreign football betting, lottery, slots, baccarat, and various other games. The site had been active for about 18 months, with thousands of members and operated as a network with clearly divided roles. They engaged in complex asset transfers to conceal proceeds from illegal activities. The majority of customers were students and the general public.




Pol Maj Gen Krittach stated that financial investigations revealed over the past three months a monthly turnover exceeding 900 million baht, averaging more than 10 billion baht annually. They identified more than 20 bank accounts linked to suspects, plus over 200 additional bank accounts used for money laundering. Monthly transactions per account ranged from 10 to 100 million baht. The network had established a complex financial system dividing accounts into levels to receive players' funds, hold money temporarily, then transfer it to beneficiary accounts. They also used illegal Payment Gateway services to obscure financial trails, complicating investigations.

Funds were transferred through mule company accounts, with foreigners involved in holding network accounts to evade police scrutiny. Additionally, the gambling network managed operations regionally by assigning administrators to different areas.

Evidence also showed that 35-year-old Sitthichai Chueathai, a former secretary to a local politician, was responsible for converting cash into cryptocurrency to transfer to various wallets before passing it on to beneficiaries. It is believed that at least 500 million baht per month was laundered this way. Authorities gathered evidence and obtained arrest warrants for a total of 15 suspects involved in the network.
Subsequently, Pol Col Norawat Kamphilo, Deputy Commander of TCSD4; Pol Col Anucha Srisamrong, Superintendent of Division 2, TCSD4; and Pol Col Natthaphon Rattanamongkolsak, Superintendent of Division 3, TCSD4, led investigative teams with court search warrants to conduct raids at five locations across Bangkok, Samut Prakan, and Tak provinces.

Pol Maj Gen Krittach added that the first two locations searched were houses in luxury villages in Bangna-Trad area, Bang Kaeo Subdistrict, Bang Phli District, Samut Prakan Province. The third was a condominium unit in Village 9, Samrong Nuea Subdistrict, Mueang Samut Prakan District. The fourth was a house on Pracha Uthit Road, Thung Khru Subdistrict, Thung Khru District, Bangkok. The fifth was a house in Soi Chumphon Khiri, Mae Sot Subdistrict, Mae Sot District, Tak Province.

The raids resulted in the seizure of 3 million baht in cash, 20 bank passbooks, and various electronic devices. Authorities also froze over 10 million baht in bank accounts, totaling assets valued at more than 13 million baht.




Additionally, they arrested Sitthichai and 11 other network members responsible for cash withdrawals and operating mule accounts, all wanted under arrest warrants. The suspects face charges of "jointly organizing or facilitating unauthorized online gambling via electronic media, conspiring with two or more persons to commit money laundering, and committing money laundering in conspiracy."

The investigation team is continuing to expand inquiries to arrest beneficiaries and other accomplices still at large. They are also coordinating with the Anti-Money Laundering Office to track, seize, and freeze assets derived from criminal activities for further legal action.
