iGaming payments in Thailand

Gambling is illegal in Thailand, and on July 9, 2025, the House of Representatives approved the withdrawal of the Entertainment Complex Bill, which would have licensed casinos. No new draft has reached parliament since, and Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, re-elected on March 19, 2026, opposes legal casinos. Thai players are served offshore against heavy enforcement. The Royal Thai Police blocked 717,425 gambling URLs between October 2025 and May 2026, and the Anti-Money Laundering Office freezes and seizes assets tied to gambling networks, with a mule-account sweep around the World Cup taking down more than 4,500 sites. That pressure has pushed operators off simple mule accounts and onto corporate accounts, cross-border intermediaries and crypto. PromptPay is still what players reach for, and the hard part for an operator is keeping a collection account open.
