Thailand Government only do care about the count of a positive Covid patient that they may count on when these street gambling or illegal gambling that will gather people in one place happen and also every country had only one goel and it is to lessen much better to vanish virus and stop the spread of it. However, i know the sense of being a gambler they may gamble as long as they wanted even if it is illegal.
That is because the spread of Covid still high, and there is a new case almost every day which we do not know when it will reduce or stop. Maybe their reason is to reduce the number of infected people playing gambling in one big place and the crowd because that can give a chance to get a new case. People will not know who is healthy and who is infected, and the asymptomatic people will be dangerous for the other people in the crowd. We can hope that every country will concern about this in reducing the new case in their country.

As far as I know, it is banned there.
As long as it is not a government-supported lottery or betting on horse races, it is illegal. I don't know how addicted people are to gambling in this country but like those Chinese people, they are also into gambling. I don't know about casinos in that country, but I just hope they would just regulate it so they will not be having a problem, that also means tax for the government.
I think that is also a concern.
If there will be a lot of illegal gambling happening there, that also means that there are a lot of health protocols that are not followed at that place. There will be no regulation of the protocol and could cause more casualties in this pandemic. I guess it is really best if they will just let it regulate, what's with that tax they are so afraid of than hide and be jailed?

In my opinion, the Thai government should solve the problem of illegal gambling not to be banned. It only makes gambling addicts look for other
ways to be able to play gambling. The best solution is to legalize gambling, and the government can benefit from the taxes imposed on casinos
and gamblers. Moreover, the circulation of money in the world of gambling is quite large, I'm sure government can provide a sizable tax income too.
Can learn from countries that have already legalized gambling, so the Thai government must be able to think again whether there are more negative
or positive effects if it bans gambling. Because the good thing is gambling must be regulated, not banned.

You make a reasonable point but if you understand the Thailand government viewpoint about gambling you will know that, they don't totally ban gambling though they only support betting on horse races and the government sponsored lottery and I don't why they supported horse race betting and ignore others form of gambling. But people can still gambling online freely despite the Thai government viewpoint which I believe it still fair than the people gambling in an overcrowded place during the season of pandemic.
I think the organizers/owners should be arrest for not limiting the numbers of their customers.

The ongoing conversation before Saint-loup above message was about the percentage of Thailand adults that gambling regularly which was said to be 70%, I believe women are included and when he heard that the result seem to be base on the Thailand lottery game which is usually back by the government.
Even if it is a man or women it is still a huge number 7 out of ten people are into gambling and many of these are into illegal gambling, we can easily tell that the government failed miserably because of this figure, they should legalize gambling so they can make a profit and restrict these gambling operators, if they are working underground they do no have control on these people.I think the organizers/owners should be arrest for not limiting the numbers of their customers.

Talking about corruption, I don't know if there is someone, a country had left not doing this. They have the reason why they push themselves on the position and that to take advantage of their citizen. And to say about the stoppage of illegal gambling, that could be a hard thing to do, IMO.

Government regulations would push every individuals to abide their rules on taxation, by virtue of no choice. This became mandatory on every business establishments, because if they don't follow certain implementation they're considered as illegal gambling operation. If there's a need for petition when there's really a hardships encountered, then it's always open to raise for congress or some officials who can help in a specific country.Talking about corruption, I don't know if there is someone, a country had left not doing this.

Knowing that gambling is banned in Thailand, I think people just wanted to gamble or use their money to bet but it is illegal so they find their ways. I agree that they should just legalized gambling as it is a good source of taxes for them. If they will be really strict with these regulations, they will be taking the hard way dealing with these people.
Legalizing gambling would be the most logical thing to do. The reason is that with internet being available in every nook and corner of the world, banning casinos doesn't make any sense. Gamblers can simply use online casinos and participate in various games using the internet. The only difference here is that the government will lose tax money, which they would have otherwise gained. The rich gamblers can even catch a flight and travel to countries where gambling is legal. The governments need to get out of "banning this, banning that" mentality.

Illegal gambling takes place because there are people who take part in this and the users who continue to support it despite knowing it's illegal.
It's good to see that the government of Thailand is planning to take measures to stop illegal gambling and convert it into legal ones so that it benefits their nation but I hardly think that this would stop illegal gambling.
The owners will definitely find an alternative to continue illegal gambling unless the government is continuously tracing them and blacklisting the owners for regular investigation.
Those people who are patronizing illegal casino I think is avoiding extra fees that a government legal casino ask or they have something that they are avoiding from legal casinos. That's right, Government should be actively tracking down illegal casinos especially if they know that the gamblers population is increasing in their country. It will be a good source of income for the country for just collecting a gambling tax revenue.It's good to see that the government of Thailand is planning to take measures to stop illegal gambling and convert it into legal ones so that it benefits their nation but I hardly think that this would stop illegal gambling.

Yes, there are always people who support illegal gambling for a simple reason, it's profitable. Also, for some gamblers the fact they are gambling illegal makes even a bigger thrill.
Isn't it obvious that people are expecting a profit that's why they gamble? Legit or illegal gambling, no difference in terms of probability to win.
The reason why people support illegal gambling is not that it's profitable but it's because of borderless and not much restriction. That's why while government thinks of a way to shut down illegal ones, they should also go after the people that support it.

It's not so easy for any government to turn something illegal into legal. I don't know what kind of methods and measures they use but that should be something that would make people aware that illegal isn't good for them or economy of their country and of course there should be quite sharp fines and punishment for organisers of illegal gambling. Still there are no guarantees for success.

Where there's illegal gambling, there's serious cases of criminality, underground syndication, and the likes. If Thailand wants to and is willing to take these guys down for good, they have to aim directly for the head, otherwise these crime groups will just disband and then in due time resurface with a new MO. They will just be wasting time, money and precious police force in not aiming to eradicate the root cause of the problem.

People will gamble where there's an avenue for it. Regardless if it's illegal or licensed. Moreso, these illegal gambljng dens thrive because they allow the common joe to bet, whereas high stakes gambling are only for the rich.

In terms of this topic, the government of Thailand is having a problem with underground gambling,
In principle, it is also an indirect message that there are problems with criminal organizations or the mafia, because they are the ones who rule a large part of underground gambling. So in order to drive back illegal gambling, these criminal associations must first be smashed. A few private people who meet regularly to play poker are certainly not the problem.

Basically illegal casinos will only harm the government in term of gambling tax revenue. There is a fair amount of money flowing into gambling and if there are lot of illegal casinos operating there the government should take precautions and close them down if they don't comply with the rule. I believe the gambling population in a country will continue to increase all the time, even in countries where gambling is illegal.

Basically if 70% adult are into illegal gambling should have made the government to raise eyebrow into it reform, there are indications that if the government of Thailand refuse to take this urgent action there will be more individuals at that age into gambling, which won't be good for the entire country. Having the necessary measurement "to tackle this problems of illegal gambling" will not only enhance government revenue generation but also making gamblers useful for themselves.
