Thai cyber police say three digital asset exchanges have provided transaction trail data tied to Shuffle.com, the Curaçao-registered crypto casino, marking what officials describe as a move toward enforcement in the case.

Police Major General Siriwat Deepho said an operation will “certainly” follow. The update came shortly after lawmakers questioned why the investigation had not advanced more quickly despite earlier transaction information.

Exchanges hand over transaction data

According to Thai police, officers have now received data from three crypto exchanges showing fund flows connected to Shuffle.com. Authorities have not publicly detailed which exchanges supplied the records, but they say the information is part of the money-trail analysis supporting the case.

Siriwat said police have organized 80 task-force teams for the investigation. He indicated the case is now moving from information gathering toward concrete action, though officials have not publicly set out a timetable for the next steps.

Players in Thailand are expected to be charged first

Investigators say they plan to begin with players located in Thailand before moving against the offshore operator. Police argue that this sequence is necessary because Shuffle is based outside the country and operates through cryptocurrency rather than the banking channels commonly seen in domestic illegal gambling cases.

Officials say the platform lets users convert cryptocurrency into its own token for betting. Because the operator is overseas, police are relying on Thai criminal code provisions dealing with conduct outside the country that nonetheless affects Thailand. On that basis, they say cases against local participants must be built first before the operator can be pursued.

Political pressure grew after committee hearing

The probe drew wider public attention after a House committee hearing in which lawmakers pressed police over why no action had been taken sooner. Questions were raised about why the case had not progressed despite authorities already having transaction data in hand.

Separately, it was reported that two wallets linked to 44 people moved roughly $113,000 to and from Shuffle across numerous transactions. The article did not say whether those transfers alone form the basis of the planned charges, but the figures added to scrutiny around the investigation’s pace.

Broader scrutiny of crypto flows in Thailand

The Shuffle case is unfolding as Thai authorities intensify monitoring of cryptocurrency-related financial activity. The country’s central bank has flagged large USDT transactions, and law enforcement recently arrested a Chinese national in a separate crypto-laundering case.

For now, the confirmed next step is the expected enforcement operation described by Siriwat, alongside prosecutors’ stated plan to file cases against Thai players before attempting to proceed against the Curaçao-registered operator. Shuffle had not publicly responded to police statements at the time of writing.
