Cambodia Casino Regulator Pursues IT Upgrades and Online Payments to Strengthen Gambling Duty Collection

Cambodia’s casino regulator is focusing on improved collection and management of gambling-duty revenues. The General Secretariat of the Commercial Gambling Management Commission of Cambodia (CGMC) organized a meeting involving the regulator and taxation departments to address the issue.

Discussions examined development of an information technology system for managing gambling-duty revenues and the regulator’s own revenues. Particular attention went to establishing an online payment system to strengthen efficiency of revenue management in the commercial gambling industry, according to reporting by GGRAsia.

Technology Focus in Revenue Collection Meeting

The Monday update from the CGMC stated the meeting centered on an online payment system for the commercial gambling sector. This initiative aligns with the Cambodian government’s moves to tighten oversight of gaming and review licensing standards. Authorities continue reviewing casino operations as part of a nationwide campaign against online scams, including investigations of establishments suspected of unauthorized activities.

Draft Law Review for Sector Consistency

On October 14, the CGMC general secretariat met with the legal council of Cambodia’s Ministry of Economy and Finance. The session reviewed a draft “Law on the Suppression of Illegal Gambling.” Talks addressed provisions on management and regulation of the commercial gambling sector to ensure consistency with the Law on the Management of Commercial Gambling and other applicable instruments.

These steps show Cambodia addressing both revenue handling and regulatory alignment in its gambling sector. Licensed operators will face updated compliance expectations as the online payment system and new legislation take shape.
