The World Cup kicked off in Brazil last month, and it’ll end in two weeks. During this period, the lives of frequent gamblers — both online and offline — have become much more difficult. In Thailand alone,almost 1,000 football gamblers in metropolitan areas were arrested between June 12-23. To break this down, about 870 gamblers, 22 hosts, 16 bookmakers and one online gambling organiser were legally charged.More than 700 football gambling websites in Thailand were shutdown, and these numbers are rising.
