MONOMAX Joins Forces with Thailand’s Ministry of Digital Economy and Society to Combat FIFA World Cup 2026 Copyright Infringement

Ms. Boonthida Somchai, Deputy Minister of Digital Economy and Society (MDES), together with Mr. Navamin Prasopnet, Chief Executive Officer of Mono Next Public Company Limited, and Ms. Nedpanit Potarakul, Chief Content Officer and Director of Monomax Sports TV, held a meeting to discuss measures to prevent and suppress illegal websites, online gambling platforms, and copyright infringement related to the live broadcasting of the FIFA World Cup 2026. The initiative aims to strengthen public-private cooperation in accelerating the shutdown of illegal platforms.

Ms. Boonthida stated that MDES places high priority on combating online crime, copyright infringement, and online gambling, particularly during the FIFA World Cup 2026. Between 10 and 24 June 2026, the Ministry’s Illegal Website Monitoring Center blocked a total of 12,671 URLs associated with illegal activities. Of these, 4,496 URLs were blocked under court orders, while another 8,175 URLs were taken down through cooperation with Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube.

As the official rights holder for the FIFA World Cup 2026 and the Premier League broadcasts in Thailand, Mono Next Public Company Limited is integrating its monitoring information with the Illegal Website Monitoring Center to enable the immediate blocking of platforms found violating copyright laws, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of law enforcement.

Ms. Boonthida added that MDES maintains 24-hour surveillance and enforcement operations while working closely with private-sector partners to swiftly block illegal websites, minimizing their impact on the public, society, and Thailand’s digital economy. Members of the public who encounter online gambling websites during the FIFA World Cup 2026 are encouraged to report them via the GCC Hotline 1111, extension 87, available 24 hours a day, or by email at csoc@mdes.go.th.

Meanwhile, JAS and MONO continue to promote the legal consumption of world-class sports content through Monomax Sports TV, which offers comprehensive coverage of major international sporting events, including the FIFA World Cup 2026, the Premier League, the Emirates FA Cup, Volleyball World, and the UEFA EURO. The initiative also seeks to raise awareness among Thai businesses about the importance of respecting intellectual property rights and consuming licensed content legally.

CIB and JAS-MONO Launch “Operation VAR” to Crack Down on Sports Broadcasting Copyright

17 June 2026 – The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), through the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD), under the direction of Pol. Lt. Gen. Nattasak Chaowanat, Commissioner of the Central Investigation Bureau, and Pol. Maj. Gen. Chananat Sartwanpat, Commander of the Technology Crime Suppression Division, has joined forces with Jasmine International Public Company Limited (JAS) and Mono Next Public Company Limited (MONO), operator of the MONOMAX platform, to launch “Operation VAR” targeting websites involved in the unauthorized streaming of international football matches and the promotion of online gambling services.

Investigations revealed a network of websites illegally retransmitting copyrighted football broadcasts while displaying advertisements linked to online gambling platforms. Authorities subsequently conducted searches at two locations in Phetchabun and Samut Sakhon provinces, leading to the arrest of two suspects who admitted to managing the websites. The suspects reportedly generated approximately 300,000–500,000 baht per month from online advertising sales. Computers, mobile phones, and data servers were seized as evidence.

Further investigation led officers to a second network operating in Udon Thani Province. Authorities identified a website serving as a source of unauthorized streaming links and carrying advertisements connected to more than 20 gambling-related websites. Two additional suspects were arrested: Mr. Rojanarin (surname withheld), a system programmer and administrator, and Ms. Kannika (surname withheld), an advertising coordinator. The pair allegedly earned between 1–2 million baht per month from the operation. Officers seized computers, servers, and 480,000 baht in cash during the raid.

In total, four suspects were arrested as part of the operation. They have been charged with offenses related to organizing, advertising, and promoting unauthorized online gambling activities through electronic media, in violation of applicable laws.

The operation highlights the strong cooperation between CIB, JAS, and MONO in protecting intellectual property rights, combating unauthorized sports content distribution, and preventing the use of illegal online platforms as channels for gambling-related promotion. The initiative also reinforces efforts to foster a safer and more sustainable digital ecosystem for legitimate content providers and rights holders.
