A federal gambling commission has been established to manage such activities in order for online gambling to be legalized, according to Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul.
Mr. Anutin lately addressed the speech of the Interior Ministry and the Digital Economy and Society Ministry regarding the organization’s two-month-long partnership to legalize online gambling in a statement released by Deputy Prime Minister Prasert Jantararuangtong.
With draft draft bills already in place, Mr. Anutin said his government had manage matters like licensing and categorizing gambling types.
When asked how gambling may be made legal, Mr. Anutin stated that it will involve moving from illegal gambling to reasonable platforms to combat crime and exploitation.
The Digital Economy and Society Ministry will use these systems to monitor and control gambling habit, he said, by advising debts when people become debt so that they will stop offering any additional funding.
He emphasized the importance of being financially secure and responsible, as well as ensuring operators don’t fall short of obligations by closing down their operations when faced with a substantial loss.
He also emphasized the need for a federal committee to oversee the gambling sector.
In a campaign speech in Chiang Rai on January 5, past leading Thaksin Shinawatra argued the need to legalize online wagering, noting that the government had been unable to collect taxes from the activity even though it generates significant income.
