Land-based casino gambling is legal in Cambodia, but locals are not allowed to participate in any games of chance. The Cambodian government has had a large revenue from taxes on the money spent by foreigners at casinos. However, this amount is likely to be diminished, as neighbouring countries introduce more lax gambling laws. Still, the Cambodian government has not contemplated legalising casino gambling for Cambodian people as well.

Cambodia currently hosts over 50 brick and mortar casinos catering to foreigners. Casinos are concentrated near the borders, but several are located in the capital, Phnom Penh. The largest and most well-known casino in the capital is NagaWorld, boasting an 8-storey entertainment wing and an outdoor casino as well. The casino offers hundreds of slot machines and table games including Poker, Roulette, Baccarat and Blackjack.

Online casino gambling is not specifically mentioned in the Law on the Suppression of Gambling. Still, it is considered illegal, foreign online casino sites are often blocked, and there have been cases of the Cambodian police making arrests for participation in online gambling.*

Bingo in Cambodia is legal for foreigners, but illegal to play by and offer to locals. Bingo games are available at several of the country’s land-based casino in Poipet (the Star Cegas Casino), Siem Reap and the capital Phnom Penh.

None of the brick and mortar casinos in Cambodia where Bingo is available offer any online Bingo games. Foreign Bingo websites may be available to Cambodian players, but some are blocked, and it involves some risk, as the punishment ranges up to 50 000 Riels or a month in prison.

The following bingo websites accept players from Cambodia:

Playing Poker is, as other forms of gambling, prohibited for Cambodians by the Law on the Suppression of Gambling. Foreigners, on the other hand, are free to participate in live Poker games at any of the country’s casinos, many of which offer Poker games. The most popular types of Poker are Hold’em, Omaha and Caribbean Stud.

Online Poker, while not specifically regulated, is likely considered illegal in Cambodia. However, Cambodian players who decide to take the risk do have quite a few online Poker sites to choose from. They should bear in mind though, that the punishment for online gambling can range up to 50 000 Riels or a month in prison.

The following online poker sites accept players from Cambodia.

Sports betting is illegal in Cambodia, but is still widely enjoyed. Gambling on sports events is somewhat of a tradition, with Cambodians betting on anything from cockfights through boat races to football matches. Even foreigners in the country would be hard-pressed to find legal opportunities for sports betting, as the Cambodian casinos don’t seem to offer sports betting as part of their repertoire.

Online sports betting is also illegal, though many international sports betting sites are available to Cambodian players.

Traditional lottery games are legal in Cambodia, and the country has a national lottery, Pan Cambodian Lottery. The lottery has a website, but currently not even the types of games are listed, which means, of course, that there is no online lottery available. Revenues from tickets sold support Cambodian social welfare programs.

The national lottery has a monopoly on the Cambodian market. As they have no online licence or version, there are no legal options for Cambodian gamblers to play lottery games online. Several offshore online lottery sites are available to Cambodians, but others may be blocked, and players possibly prosecuted.

The following websites allow people from Cambodia to purchase lottery tickets online:

Use of Bitcoin itself is legal in Cambodia, and there is a Bitcoin exchange service based in Cambodia, so the cryptocurrency is not unknown in the country. Bitcoin gambling, however, falls under the general ban on gambling by the Law on the Suppression of Gambling, and is illegal. Due to the anonymous nature of Bitcoin gambling, Cambodians may be able to play on foreign Bitcoin casinos, but some sites may be blocked and players can be – and have been – prosecuted for online gambling.
