Myanmar warns telecom operators re online gambling links
Myanmar’s government may be growing more receptive to land-based casinos, but online gambling remains indelibly inscribed in the authorities’ Bad Books.
Late last week, Myanmar officials warned private telecom firms that they dabble in online gambling at their own risk. The Ministry of Transport and Communication’s Department of Post and Telecommunications (DPT) issued a statement informing all telecom firms that “if they break the rules, they will be shut down” without warning.
The government is obviously concerned about a surge in online sports betting when the 2018 FIFA World Cup kicks off next month, but the letter, which was signed by DPT Director-General Soe Thein, also expressed concern about other forms of mobile gaming, including a local poker variant known as shan koe mee.
The government’s missive warned mobile operators and Network Facilities Service (C) license holders that it was their responsibility to not only end active cooperation with online gambling sites but also to prevent future links to unauthorized activity. Telecoms will be punished regardless of whether their involvement with illegal gambling is direct or indirect.
