The Ministry of Interior has confirmed the arrest of a Kuwaiti citizen accused of promoting illegal gambling activities through social media platforms. The Criminal Investigation Department’s Cybercrime Combating Department discovered two Snapchat accounts being used to lure followers into paying money to join private groups for gambling, both online and in foreign gambling halls.
Authorities said the suspect promised followers guaranteed profits, violating Kuwait’s strict anti-gambling and cybercrime laws. Following careful monitoring, investigators tracked and detained the individual.
The Ministry stressed its ongoing commitment to tackling illegal online practices and called on the public to stay alert and report any suspicious content or accounts to protect community safety and prevent electronic fraud. The accused has been referred to the relevant legal authorities for further action.
