They say more than VND1tn (US$38.61m) in transactions were traced through 13 associated bank accounts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investigators said the alleged operators hired people to open bank accounts in their own names and paid them monthly fees. The account holders performed facial scans and other biometric checks when instructed to transfer money. Players reportedly deposited money into bank accounts provided by the site and converted the funds into points at a rate of VN\u01101,000 for 1,000 points. Winnings could then be converted back into cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investigation began after a complaint involving a resident of Tien Tien commune. He told police he opened an account on Net.win in early 2025 to play games including Tai xiu. Bank records reportedly show that between February 8 and October 16, 2025, the user made 165 deposits totalling nearly VND2bn (US$76,990).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions (FAQs)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>How much money did <strong>Net.win<\/strong><\/strong> <strong>process?<\/strong> Police said the network handled more than VND1tn (US$38.6m) through 13 bank accounts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How did the Net.win gambling network move money?<\/strong> Players deposited funds into bank accounts provided by the platform and converted them into points for gambling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div id=\"see-also-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label\">See also:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"related-article__thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/08\/9a47c06f-c400-4203-9b7c-f9a2b2ef2af0-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"related-article__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label-strong\">See also:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/cambodia-investigates-195-casinos-in-online-scam-crackdown\">Cambodia investigates 195 casinos in online scam crackdown<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Investigators tracked 13 bank accounts allegedly used to process transactions linked to the Net.win platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":680,"featured_media":777034381,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Vietnamese authorities have dismantled the Net.win online gambling network, which allegedly processed over US$38.6 million through 13 bank accounts.
