No minors were found to be involved, said deputy national police chief Pongsapat Pongcharoen yesterday.

In his capacity as chairman of the anti-gambling police centre, which was launched ahead of the Euro 2016 tournament, Pongsapat received campaign material yesterday morning from Lt-Colonel Noon Sansanakhom, a Government Lottery Office board member, and other anti-gambling networks at Royal Thai Police headquarters.

Noon said the GLO Foundation for Social Development and allies produced 2,000 vinyl signs saying “[People’s] lives are safe if [they] refrain from football gambling” for the centre to distribute to nationwide precincts. He also urged the public to alert authorities about football betting activities via hotlines at 191 or 1599.
