Cambodia Revokes Licenses of 18 Casinos Involved in Online Scams

The Cambodian government has taken decisive action against casino establishments implicated in technology-enabled fraudulent activities (online scams). According to a press release from the Secretariat of the Inter-Ministerial Committee to Combat Online Scams (ICCOS), the government has been working to clear over 600 online scam-related locations nationwide. In the casino sector, the ICCOS has closely collaborated with the Cambodian Game Management Committee (CGMC) to monitor casinos suspected of involvement in online scams. As of September 2026, a total of 18 casinos have had their licenses revoked due to their involvement in fraudulent activities. Additionally, licenses for 9 other casinos have been suspended pending further investigation and evidence collection, after which a decision on license revocation will be made. The 18 casinos whose licenses have been revoked include KHMH Paradise Tower Casino & Hotel, Eagle King Casino, Orchid Hotel & Rich Casino, Shanghai Resort, Golden Galaxy Casino, Le Jeng Casino, Golden Fortune Resort World Casino, I Casino, Jin Bei Group, Jin Bei, Zhonghengwei Golden Scene International Entertainment, G.C. Casino, Da Jin Kang Casino & Hotel, Gun Dao, Ying Huang Casino, Jin Bei Four, Sin Hao Pique Casino, and Jin Yu Men Tang Casino. For all locations whose licenses have been revoked or suspended, the ICCOS continues to fully cooperate with the CGMC, judicial police, provincial prosecutor's offices, provincial courts, the Cambodia Financial Intelligence Unit, and other relevant authorities. These collaborations are aimed at taking measures to detain, freeze, and confiscate assets belonging to the owners and/or shareholders of these casino companies involved in online scams. The ICCOS also remains open to cooperation and calls upon all segments of the public, especially international organizations, to join the government's campaign to eradicate online scams. If any suspicious information regarding any location, particularly casinos secretly engaged in online scam activities, is received, the ICCOS, in collaboration with the CGMC and relevant authorities, will investigate thoroughly to gather sufficient evidence, leading to raids, license revocations, and asset detention, freezing, and confiscation in accordance with the prevailing law on combating online scams.
