Fresh gambling law on way in Cambodia

According to Focus Asia Pacific, a news service, Cambodia will get a new gambling law this year. A committee of 11 people will regulate the gaming industry under the new law, it said.

Moves to accelerate the introduction of the fresh regulations by the end of this year are reported to be taking place in the Cambodian parliament. A final version of the draft law needs to be agreed before the project is presented to the Cambodian cabinet and then for formal approval.

A new law will make the application for licensing more strict. The country’s casinos have been closed since April because of the pandemic.
