An illegal online gambling den in Vietnam was raided by police last week, resulting in 21 arrests. Following an investigation authorities learned that the organization had generated an income of a staggering VND20 trillion, or US $858 million since January 2019.

The ring, led by 28-year-old Nguyen Thi Huong Ly and 24-year-old Nguyen Duc Manh, utilized online gambling methods under the guise of games like poker and lottery, the ministry said. The ring had servers overseas and cooperated with several clients inside Vietnam.

The clients in Vietnam used phone numbers and social media for players to contact and transact with them. Players transferred cash into bank accounts provided by the clients, or paid through top-up cards.
Earlier this year, Vietnam police busted a $12.9 million online gambling ring for allegedly running a football gambling den. Last year, Vietnam police busted a $1 billion gambling ring.
