Rangsiman Rome, a party-list MP and chairman of the House committee on law, justice and human rights, met officials of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) in Bangkok on October 27, 2026, to hand over evidence from the committee's investigation of the Shuffle online gambling website1. He said the material included committee records and meeting reports, which he described as official documents usable in a prosecution1.
Rangsiman said transactions on the digital asset exchange Bitkub showed six accounts linked to Shuffle1. The first two came from information the cyber police sent to Bitkub, and a further four were found in an expanded check on October 161. Direct transfers through all six accounts totaled more than 100 million baht, and he said it was still being tracked whether they would be blacklisted1. He also cited data from the Maxbit platform reporting transactions linked to Shuffle worth 2.2 hundred thousand baht1.
He said the case may involve at least three offenses: organized crime, the Gambling Act, and conspiracy to launder money1. On the evidence so far, he said:
"จากข้อมูลที่มีในตอนนี้เพียงพอต่อการดำเนินคดีกับ Shuffle แล้ว"
Rangsiman said the committee's inquiry began with an allegation of a 40 million baht bribe involving Chaiyanok Chidchob, and expanded into online gambling suppression and financial transactions that may involve political figures1. He said the committee holds further information under review that could widen the number of people implicated1. He also said Shuffle has the characteristics of a casino website and was blocked from access quickly after the political issue arose, which he said investigators should examine1.

| Accounts linked to Shuffle on Bitkub | 6 |
| Accounts found in expanded check, October 16 | 4 |
| Direct transfers through the six accounts | More than 100 million baht |

What it means for players
Shuffle is described in the report as operating as a casino website, and Rangsiman said it was blocked from access quickly1. Players in Thailand who used the site face the practical question of whether the accounts and funds tied to it are now under scrutiny, since the transactions cited run through Bitkub, a Thai-regulated exchange, and Maxbit1. The case also touches on how money moves between platforms in Thailand and websites abroad, which Rangsiman said makes tracing and anti-money laundering checks more complex1. Thailand's gambling laws restrict most forms of betting, and the wider regional picture is covered in online gambling laws in Asia and crackdowns on offshore online gambling hubs. Anyone weighing offers tied to such sites can read gambling scams in Asia and fake casino and online gambling job offers.
What happens next
Rangsiman said the committee will invite representatives of Binance on Thursday to give further information, to check whether there were financial transactions linked to the website and how large they were1. He said it is still being tracked whether the six accounts will be blacklisted1. He raised the possibility that the DSI might prosecute only under the Computer Crime Act without the Gambling Act, saying that if so, it must be examined whether officials acted lawfully, given Shuffle's casino characteristics and the traceable financial data1. No DSI response to the evidence handover has been reported1.
