Reports say Thailand’s SEC has filed a criminal complaint against BG Limited, identified as Bitget’s operator, over alleged unlicensed digital-asset exchange activity. Access to Bitget in Thailand is reportedly set to be restricted from December 5, 2026. The measure is said to cover the website, related domains and mobile app. For Thai users, the immediate concern is access within Thailand, rather than any confirmed freeze of assets.

What Thailand Is Reportedly Doing Against Bitget

Reports say Thailand’s SEC filed a criminal complaint against BG Limited, described as Bitget’s operator, and notified the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society to restrict access to Bitget in Thailand from December 5, 2026. The alleged violation is operating an unlicensed digital-asset exchange for Thai users.

According to the same reports, the alleged activity occurred from 2022 to 2025. Bitget is said to have provided trading services to Thai users, charged fees, used Thai-language interfaces or promotions, and displayed prices in Thai baht. One promoter was also reportedly named in the complaint.

The legal stage is important. A criminal complaint is an enforcement action and an allegation, not a conviction or final court ruling. The current report concerns a complaint and a planned access-restriction date, rather than a confirmed final finding of liability.

What the December 5 Restriction Is Likely to Cover

The reported measure would restrict access in Thailand to Bitget’s website, associated domains and mobile application. This indicates a local access issue for users in Thailand once the measure takes effect, rather than a claim that the platform will cease to exist globally.

Thailand’s SEC has previously used a similar mechanism. On May 29, 2025, the regulator said it had referred Bybit, 1000X, CoinEx, OKX and XT.COM to the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society, with public access due to be restricted from June 28, 2025. That earlier notice does not verify the Bitget case, but it shows that Thailand has used an SEC-to-ministry process to cut local access to unlicensed offshore platforms.

In practical terms, the reported action against Bitget follows an established Thai enforcement route: a complaint first, followed by a dated domestic access restriction. The exact blocking method, complete list of affected domains and app-store implementation details have not been established.

What Thai Users Know So Far About Assets and Access

The clearest reported warning is for users to manage assets held on the platform before December 5. Put simply, the known risk is disrupted access from within Thailand after that date, which is why reports say the SEC advised users to act in advance.

Equally important, the available reports do not establish that Thai authorities have frozen or seized customer assets. They also do not specify whether users will still be able to log in, withdraw funds, transfer assets or contact support after the restriction begins. The supported conclusion is therefore narrower: Thai users face a reported access deadline, but the mechanics of accounts after a block remain undefined in the disclosed material.
