Game Over for Scammers: Strengthening Regional Defenses against Online Gambling-Related Scams - 30/04/26 - 8:00AM UTC

Hannah Arendt’s concept of the “banality of evil” shows that wrongdoing is often committed by ordinary individuals who normalize it. In the same way, scams don’t spread only through one “big” scheme—they multiply through repeated acts, like a virus transmitted in small doses.

This April, we will examine the rise of online gambling–related scams driven by a faction of scam compounds across Southeast Asia, and explore best practices from selected regulators around the world.

This session brings together regulators, law enforcement, and experts to share best practices, improve cross-border coordination, and discuss practical strategies to prevent harm, protect communities, and disrupt scam operations.

✨ What to Expect:

Welcome & Introduction by GASA APAC
Overview of Common online gambling–related scams in Southeast Asia and current efforts to combat them by Interpol
Regulators’ Session: Presentation and panel discussion with two (2) gambling regulators
