Many Internet cafes in the Northeast that offer online gambling services via live broadcasts from casinos and dens in Cambodia have halted their services temporarily after the government announced a crackdown.
A major cafe in Khon Kaen, the fifth largest in the country in terms of revenues earning approximately Bt10 million (S$430,450) from bets daily, was found closed yesterday. It was apparently raided and the owners paid a fine.
A large number of Internet cafes in Maha Sarakham, Chaiyaphum and Ubon Ratchathani, mostly set up near universities and schools, have closed down temporarily in anticipation of the government crackdown.
