Which Cambodia casinos does this guide cover?
The Cambodia guide has one full venue page: NagaWorld in Phnom Penh, run by NagaCorp3. Our venue register also lists four border casinos, Le Macau and Titan King in Bavet and Star Vegas and Holiday Palace in Poipet. All four are marked unverified, meaning we have not read a 2026 operator or regulator source for them, so they have no page yet. The status tracker shows where each stands.
Who can gamble in Cambodia’s casinos?
Only foreigners can gamble in Cambodia’s casinos. Cambodian casinos are open only to foreigners, and gambling has been illegal for Cambodians since 19961, according to iGB. A researcher quoted in the same piece says the law keeps Cambodian citizens out of casinos. For a Malaysian, that means you are the target customer and need to show you are a foreign visitor. A search snippet of Wikipedia says a foreign passport is required4; confirm with the casino.
How many casinos does Cambodia have?
At last count, 184 licensed gaming halls1. The regulator’s split, reported in July 2024, was 100 on the coast, 48 in provinces bordering Thailand and the rest on the Vietnam border1.
| Location | What serves it |
|---|---|
| Phnom Penh | A single casino, NagaWorld1 |
| Bavet (Vietnam border) | Vietnamese patrons1 |
| Poipet (Thai border) | Thai gamblers1 |
The figures are two years old and the regulator’s own page was not read.
What has changed in Cambodia’s casino rules?
In July 2024 the prime minister banned new casinos in Kep and Kampot, except Bokor Mountain1. The 2020 gaming law keeps gambling venues out of some places on cultural or religious grounds, and exempts casinos built before it took effect1.
In September 2026 the prime minister announced that all online gambling operations at land-based casinos would halt from October 20262, according to The Star. The stated aim is to crush technology-based fraud. Whether it is enforced is unconfirmed, and this site does not cover online gambling.
What should a Malaysian check before going?
Before going, a Malaysian should check the Cambodian visa rules, NagaWorld’s entry age, table limits, dress code and playing currency, which are all unconfirmed.
- Visa: unconfirmed5. Ask the Cambodian embassy.
- Entry age: unconfirmed5 for NagaWorld; Genting uses 21 and over6.
- Table limits, dress code, currency: unconfirmed5, unconfirmed5, unconfirmed5.
We have not visited any of these casinos. Flights and transfers are not covered.
How does Cambodia compare with Vietnam and Genting?
Cambodia keeps locals out entirely. Vietnam now lets some citizens in under a pilot, while Genting Highlands admits everyone 21 and over6 (see the Genting guide). Whichever you choose, the house keeps its edge on every bet. Set a limit first and read our responsible gambling page.
