Cambodia

Online prohibited

Online games of chance have been banned since January 2020, and in 2026 the government ordered casinos to shut down all online and livestreamed play, including football betting and online lotteries, by 30 September. Land-based casinos are licensed under the 2020 Law on Integrated Resorts and Commercial Gaming and Cambodian citizens may not play in them. Retail lotteries operate under licences from the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
