Six arrested in Sungai Petani online gaming scam investigation

What police reported

A Bernama report published by Malay Mail on 25 October says Kuala Muda police arrested six people in connection with an alleged online gaming scam based at an abandoned hotel in Sungai Petani. Four Bangladeshi men were arrested on 21 October; two Malaysian men, suspected of being involved in the property arrangements, were arrested on 23 October.

Withdrawal complaints

Police said customers used a website and WhatsApp, and that withdrawal requests were allegedly left pending rather than paid. Their preliminary estimate put losses at around RM2,000 a day. These are attributed police statements, not independently measured findings by World’s Best Casino.

Investigation remains ongoing

The source reports continuing investigations under Sections 420 and 120B of the Penal Code. Arrests and suspicions do not establish guilt. The report does not identify any of the six brands listed on this website as involved.
