Betting in Cambodia: the law, the ban on online licences and the sites Cambodians use
Cambodia licenses casinos for foreign passport holders, bars its own citizens from gambling and, since a 2019 decision confirmed by the 2020 Law on the Management of Commercial Gambling, issues no online gambling licences at all; the online operations that once filled Sihanoukville were ordered closed. The international platforms serve Cambodians through Khmer sites regardless. This page describes the position; it does not recommend betting from Cambodia.
The legal position
The 2020 law created the Commercial Gambling Management Commission, confirmed that Cambodian citizens may not gamble in the licensed casinos and made permanent the ban on online gambling licences announced in 2019, which ended the offshore online industry that had grown around Sihanoukville. Gambling by citizens is punishable; enforcement focuses on illegal casinos and betting rings, with individual online bettors rarely prosecuted.
What exists anyway
1xBet, SBOBET, Betwinner and their siblings run Khmer-language sites with riel and dollar accounts and count Cambodia among their Southeast Asian markets. Deposits go through the Wing and ABA transfer services, through agents and through crypto; withdrawals return the same way. None holds any Cambodian authorisation, since none can, and none offers recourse.
What we suggest
Anyone who bets from Cambodia does so at legal and financial risk. Small balances, stablecoins, prompt withdrawals.
