Cambodian Government to Manage Online Gaming.
Thursday, 08 December 2016
The government is planning to set up a server to manage and control online gaming which is on the rise in the Kingdom, a move to prevent locals from gambling, an official at the Ministry of Economy and Finance told Khmer Times yesterday.
Ros Phearun, a deputy director-general of the Finance Ministry’s financial industry department, said that while a gaming law is in progress and is expected to be approved sometime next year, the ministry’s technical teams are learning how to manage and control online gaming.
“We have been observing the current rise of online gaming. We found that they operate in different ways by selling a code or scratch code by using smartphones. We don’t allow such betting because it is hard to manage and it is not in the system,” he said.
“By law, we don’t allow online gaming besides licensed casinos and we also don’t allow local people to gamble,” he added.
“Right now, we are learning about online gaming from other countries so we can set up a server to manage it. Once we have it, all transactions will come through the system. Even gamblers use wire banking.”

If they did that and it worked, all the chinese casino's in SHV would have to close or turn into chicken farms.

There are 77 licensed casinos in Cambodia, 65 of which are in operation. According to a report from the Finance Ministry, of the $37.4 million in taxes from casinos in the first nine months of this year, NagaWorld casino in Phnom Penh accounted for about $16 million, or 43 percent, of all casino tax.
