VietNamNet – Vietnamese police have uncovered a network of foreigners who are allegedly behind online gambling operations in the country, according to a report released by the Ministry of Public Security.
The report revealed that the group of foreigners, whose identities have not been disclosed, have been operating illegal online gambling websites targeting Vietnamese players. The police said that the group has been using sophisticated technology to evade detection and continue their operations despite repeated crackdowns by authorities.
According to the report, the group has been running a network of online gambling websites that offer a variety of betting options, including sports betting, casino games, and lotteries. The websites are designed to mimic legitimate gambling sites to attract unsuspecting players, who are then lured into placing bets using real money.
The police report also stated that the group has been offering lucrative bonuses and rewards to entice players to continue betting on their websites. Additionally, the group has been using virtual currency and online payment methods to facilitate transactions and ensure anonymity.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the network of foreigners behind the online gambling operations and are working to identify and apprehend those involved. The police have urged Vietnamese citizens to refrain from participating in illegal online gambling activities and to report any suspicious websites to the authorities.
Online gambling is illegal in Vietnam, and those caught participating in such activities can face heavy fines and imprisonment. The police have warned that individuals who engage in online gambling are not only breaking the law but also putting their financial security at risk.
The Ministry of Public Security has vowed to continue cracking down on illegal online gambling operations in the country and has called for cooperation from the public in reporting any suspicious activities. Authorities are urging Vietnamese citizens to practice caution when accessing online gambling websites and to refrain from participating in such activities to avoid legal consequences.
