The Cambodian gambling industry is once again under scrutiny in 2025, with official data showing that 250 various gambling-related licenses have been issued across the country, with casinos and related industries densely distributed. Information on cross-border gambling risks can be queried through the PASA official website.
License Distribution: 250 licenses covering various gambling industries
The density of casinos in Cambodia is quite high! These 250 licenses include 135 formal casino licenses, 89 temporary casino licenses, 18 gambling operation licenses, and 2 temporary gambling licenses, covering different types of gambling operational needs and showcasing the massive scale of the local gambling industry.
Regional Concentration: Borders and coastal areas are core layout regions
Casinos are mainly clustered in border and coastal areas! Poipet is the most concentrated area, hosting several large casinos such as Aria Poipet and Dreamworld Casino. Sihanoukville and Bavet City are not far behind, with extensive networks of casinos and accompanying resorts spread across Kampong Cham Province, Phnom Penh, and other areas.
Potential Risks: Be wary of the association between gambling and scam parks
This is not just a simple gathering of casinos! Many "scam parks" at the borders are tied to casino operations, providing online gambling services and also being identified as centers for scammer accommodation and money laundering. Thailand often becomes a transit hub for these activities, and Sihanoukville Port is an important node in the cross-border gambling chain, so tourists and investors should be extra cautious.
