Cyber police in Thailand have successfully shut down a major online gambling network operating under the name “FAST24H” in Pattaya, revealing a monthly cash flow of over 9 million baht.
The operation, led by Police Major General Trirong Phiewphan and supported by Police Major General Kritchat Bumrungrattanayot, was conducted at a luxury condominium in the Nong Prue area of Bang Lamung district, Chon Buri province. The raid resulted in the arrest of two suspects: 22-year-old Chanachai and 24-year-old Siwakorn.
Authorities confiscated two computers, a router, seven bank account books, nine debit cards, modified blank firearms (.38 and .380 calibres), and 52 rounds of .380 ammunition.
The investigation began after officials identified the FAST24H website, which had been operating for about four months, offering a range of online gambling services. The platform reportedly had over 6,800 registered members and generated monthly transactions exceeding 9 million baht (approximately USD 277,605).
According to police, Chanachai was responsible for creating promotional content for the website, while Siwakorn handled digital marketing and customer acquisition. Both earned between 20,000 to 40,000 baht per month for their roles in the operation.
The suspects face multiple charges, including organising and promoting illegal online gambling without permission and illegal possession of firearms and ammunition.
Authorities continue to investigate the full extent of the operation and any potential links to larger criminal networks.
