Cross-border gambling fraud has become a significant challenge for Southern Asian governments as criminal networks exploit regulatory differences between countries. Fraudsters operate online platforms from offshore locations, making it difficult for local authorities to take direct action.
Governments in the region are now working together, sharing intelligence and conducting joint operations to combat these illicit activities. Increased cooperation with financial institutions is also helping track suspicious transactions linked to fraudulent betting platforms.
While progress has been made, the fight against cross-border gambling fraud requires stronger regulatory alignment and enhanced enforcement mechanisms. Without unified international efforts, fraudsters will continue to exploit gaps in the system, putting millions of players at risk.
