Is it legal to play online poker in Thailand?

Although gambling is illegal in Thailand, there hasn’t been a case yet where a poker player has had a problem playing online. However, for those who do wish to play online poker, special care is advised. Using a Thai Credit Card for making deposits is definitely a no-go. Solutions like Entropay/Skrill/Neteller/Bitcoin are recommended.

The poker sites themselves seem to have put Thailand on their whitelist of legal online poker countries. As a result, all the major online rooms are available in Thailand: PokerStars, iPoker, America’s Cardroom and many others work. Playing on these sites using a Thai IP-address/wifi provider is not a problem.
