Authorities across South East Asia and China have intensified action against illegal World Cup 2026 betting networks ⚽🚨 In Vietnam alone, police uncovered an underground operation worth around VND2tn ($75m), while Hong Kong police said a syndicate handled $40.8m in bets through offshore platforms. Malaysia’s Op Soga XI has led to 331 arrests since 11 June, and police in Zhejiang also dismantled a cross-border network 💻📉 The message is clear: major tournaments still attract strong black-market demand, keeping enforcement pressure high across regulated and grey markets.
