Dismantling a football betting ring with over 10 billion VND
Taking advantage of websites registered overseas, the subjects opened football betting accounts. In just a short time, the subjects made thousands of betting transactions with an amount of over 10 billion VND.
The Investigation Security Agency of Gia Lai Province Police has just issued a decision to prosecute the case, prosecute the accused, and issue an order to temporarily detain 4 subjects, including: Truong Van Dao (1980, residing in Ia Mron commune, Ia Pa district), Dang Thanh Hoang (born in 1991), Nguyen Xuan Huy (born in 1995, both residing in Nghia An commune, Kbang district, Gia Lai) and Tran Minh Y (born in 1988, residing in Binh Nghi commune, Tay Son district, Binh Dinh province) for gambling and organizing gambling.

According to initial investigation results, around July 2024, Truong Van Dao accessed a foreign website to register to open a football betting account.
Here, Dao was instructed on how to bet and agreed on a commission policy (each betting point is equivalent to 10 thousand VND/point).
In addition, Dao was also given a Master account (agent account) and password by foreign entities to log into the betting website system. At the same time, the closing time was agreed on every Monday. Winnings and losses will be paid by bank transfer.
Knowing that Dao had a Master account, Dang Thanh Hoang and Phan Van Kha (both residing in Tu An commune, An Khe town) requested to be given the same type of account to organize gambling in the form of football betting. Dao agreed and contacted subjects abroad to get more Master accounts to give to Hoang and Kha.
After having a Master account, Kha is in charge of creating Member accounts (from the granted Master accounts) and finding gamblers to deliver these Member accounts to.
Hoang was in charge of transferring winnings and losses between gamblers and bookies (through Dao). Kha and Hoang agreed to raise the exchange rate when delivering points to gamblers from 50,000 VND - 100,000 VND/point, then they would benefit from the exchange rate difference.

The police agency determined that from July 2024 until being discovered and arrested, the above group of subjects had conducted thousands of football betting transactions from matches of the German National Football Championship and the English Premier League, with an amount of over 10 billion VND.
The arrested subjects have admitted their crimes. Some subjects involved in the case have fled the locality. The police are actively persuading them to surrender, and at the same time, deploying wanted notices to organize the arrest, serve the investigation and strictly handle the subjects according to the provisions of the law.
