Casinos in Cambodia: 2026 guide

Regulation

Cambodia permits land-based casinos, but only foreigners may play in them โ€” participation is banned for local citizens. Venues are concentrated in the capital (NagaWorld in Phnom Penh), in cities bordering Thailand and Vietnam and along the coast of Sihanoukville, which went through a rapid but unstable gambling boom. The industry is regulated by a dedicated law and a commercial gambling authority that issues licences. Online gambling for the domestic market was curtailed after online casinos were banned in 2019, which reshaped the industry. The currency is the Cambodian riel, but the US dollar is widely used in casinos. This material is informational: users should note the ban for locals, the casinos' focus on foreigners and the restrictions on the online segment.
