Cambodia’s casino regulator, the Commercial Gambling Management Commission (CGMC), has discussed boosting oversight of the casino sector and its governance, says local media outlet The Khmer Times.
The meeting was reportedly led by the casino regulator’s secretary general, Yeth Vinel.
Attendees at the session discussed plans to improve inspection standards, and strengthen management of licensed gaming professionals, said the news outlet in a Thursday report.
In Cambodia, particular casino staff – including dealers and pit supervisors – are known as “special employees” under the country’s Law on the Management of Commercial Gambling, according to memos from legal practice Rajah & Tann Asia, seen by GGRAsia.
CGMC chairman Aun Pornmoniroth recently called – at a seminar on combatting online fraud in that nation – for relevant government departments to conduct “comprehensive” reviews of casinos across the country to assess their licensing status.
At the same occasion, the CGMC chair – also Cambodia’s deputy prime minister and minister of economy and finance – warned that any casinos found to be involved in online fraud or other illegal activities could see their licences revoked.
