According to media agencies in Pattaya, Thailand, the local police raided a sports betting call centre which it believes is associated with internet sportsbook SBObet, shutting it down for illegal gambling activity.
It was stated by Lt.Col. Sutin Suandokmai of the Bangkok police that the centre was located in an upmarket bungalow in Butsarakam Village just outside Bangkok, and that they managed to identify it thanks to an undercover, sting operation.
