The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) conducts an investigation on online gambling games, said an official of the Ministry of Home Affairs during the 18th Press Conference of State Administration Council.
“The online gambling games are not permitted according to the Gambling Law. There is Technology Department under CID. It will uncover the account owners of online games and take action as per the law. The Financial Investigation Unit is watching the money transfer and inspecting the suspected bank accounts. Some hide their profiles and so we cooperate with the communication ministries concerned. We carry out with the technological assistance of CID,” an official said.
Currently, the various online games are advertised with unofficial monetary payment on social networks and young people become more interested in such sector, retired teacher Daw Yin May told The GNLM. — TWA/GNLM
