Cambodia’s casinos are observing the country’s new online gambling ban, according to government officials.

On Wednesday, the Khmer Times quoted Ministry of Finance official Ros Phearun saying all of the 91 casinos in the country that had been offering online gambling had ceased those operations as of January 1, in accordance with the directive issued by Prime Minister Hun Sen last August.

Phearun said a joint committee consisting of government officials, police officers and military police had conducted inspections of all 91 casinos since the online gambling license revocation took effect. These inspections will continue for the foreseeable future to ensure that no casinos attempt to restart their online offering once the media focus shifts.

Phearun said there were now 118 licensed casinos in Cambodia, a significant reduction from the day before Christmas, when Phearun stated that there were 141 casinos. Around 70 casinos were based in Preah Sihanouk province but by December 31 Phearun told Reuters that there were now only 36.
