Sports Betting in Thailand?
Although
most forms of gambling in Thailand is banned, the state lottery and
horse racing are the only two activities which are considered legal.
This rule is applicable to all except Muslims due to the nature of the
religion. Placing a bet on a horse race is only authorized at selected
tracks and is available at the Royal Bangkok Sports Club and also the
Royal Turf Club in Bangkok.
Aside from the horse races, betting on any other types of gambling in
Thailand is also strictly prohibited. This includes illegal sports betting which is widely available to the public but is considered a big risk
since many of the winning bets are not paid off by the bookmakers as it
should. A majority of the players who do so are left empty-handed. It is
best to avoid underground sportsbooks altogether or bet on sports in
neighboring countries where the gambling
activities are well regulated and lawful.
Online Betting in Thailand
It is said that online sports betting exist in Thailand but it doesn’t mean that it is legal. Online gambling
which includes sports betting is absolutely prohibited in the country.
The ones online pose yet more risk to players as the internet sports
betting sites can be shut down should the authorities find out about
their existence, and all the money that has been put in will be
completely
lost and usually never recovered.
To avoid this, Thai players can make use of foreign online sportsbooks
whose sites are hosted in other countries outside of the Thai
government’s purview. This means that no actions can be taken to prevent
you from signing up and placing wagers on the internet and the sites
cannot be taken down, therefore your bets will remain safe. While some
of these sites are offered in English, there are quite a few that are
translated into Thai as well. |
