The first 6 digits of the card just defines the bank that issued the card and the type of card (MasterCard, Visa, Discover, etc.) so giving out that that information should not be a problem. The remaining numbers on the card is the account number with that bank.

Why would you send a picture of your credit card? That makes no sense. If you have to pay a fee to play this game, you have to put your credit card number into their secured page. Is this how things are done in Vietnam? Very strange, indeed!
