Gambling Age in Cambodia

The legal gambling age in Cambodia is 18 for tourists in licensed casinos, but Cambodian citizens are prohibited from gambling under the country’s laws. Gambling is tightly regulated, with casinos catering primarily to foreign visitors.

You Must Be 18 to Gamble as a Tourist in Cambodia

In Cambodia, only foreign nationals aged 18 and above are permitted to gamble in the country’s licensed casinos, such as NagaWorld in Phnom Penh. Cambodian citizens are strictly prohibited from entering casinos or participating in any gambling activities, regardless of age. The government enforces these restrictions under the 1996 Law on Suppression of Gambling.

Unregulated gambling activities, including illegal betting and underground games, are prevalent but carry significant risks, including fines and imprisonment. Visitors should ensure they gamble only in licensed establishments to avoid legal issues.
