The General Secretariat of the Commercial Gambling Management Commission of Cambodia (CGMC) held meetings with taxation departments to discuss an information technology system for managing gambling-duty revenues and establishing an online payment system to bolster revenue management efficiency in the commercial gambling industry. This aligns with the Cambodian government's efforts to tighten gaming oversight and review licensing standards amid a nationwide crackdown on online scams. Separately, on October 14, the CGMC met with Cambodia's Ministry of Economy and Finance legal council to review a draft "Law on the Suppression of Illegal Gambling," ensuring consistency with existing commercial gambling regulations. These initiatives signal that licensed operators will face updated compliance expectations as the new systems and legislation take shape, while improving transparency and targeting illicit activities.
