With several government divisions being backed by the Prime Minister to combat illegal gambling, Cambodia is starting to take action against the underground industry.
The Commercial Gambling Management of Cambodia (CGMC) has issued a new directive on illegal gambling.
It was signed on 19 February by Aun Pornmoniroth, Head of the CGMC and the Minister of Economy and Finance.
This comes only a few days after Hun Manet, Cambodian Prime Minister, called for tighter restrictions on illegal gambling in the country, with a focus on lotteries.
