Automating Hidden Gambling Detection in Web Sites: A BeautifulSoup Implementation

In response to escalating challenges posed by online gambling, particularly its deliberate promotion on university websites, this study enhances the capability to detect and promptly alert administrators to hidden gambling advertisements within Thai university domains. Leveraging systematic URL extraction from Google search results, we've devised a streamlined system employing BeautifulSoup for comprehensive retrieval and assessment of current gambling advertisements. Augmented with automatic reporting techniques, our system swiftly notifies network administrators of concealed gambling activity. Our primary objective is to uncover and eliminate gambling-related content within these domains. With an impressive accuracy rate of 89%, surpassing conventional methods by 53%, our system ensures instant, automatic notifications, promising to streamline the review process and bolster the cybersecurity posture of Thai universities, presenting a proactive stance against the spread of online gambling.
