| Is online poker in Thailand illegal? |
I am a professional poker player who travels a lot, but mostly I play poker online. I was thinking about living in Phuket from September to April as I have been visiting a lot since 1994 and really like the people and the climate.
This would not be possible if there was no way for me to play poker online from servers placed elsewhere in the world. Is it illegal to play online in Thailand? |

“It is legal if you play online poker for entertainment only, but illegal under Thai law to play for even small amounts of money. Every online game played for money is illegal in Thailand.” |
