Behind the Internet Boom

Southeast Asia is a pretty dynamic place – you mix extreme poverty and third world conditions with advanced technologies coming out of the region and a love of technology. Finding internet access throughout Cambodia and Vietnam is now a cinch – WiFi cafes dot the streets of Siem Reap and Ho Chi Minh City. With all of this rampant internet access though, the governments in Cambodia and Vietnam are having a hard time keeping control over the internet usage…for Vietnam controlling online casino gambling has become a major issue. Because gambling is legal in Cambodia, residents near the border and in Ho Chi Minh are able to even access online casinos and gambling sites from broadcasts happening from Cambodia!

The Vietnam government has reported that online casino gambling is steadily on the rise despite the fact that the activity is wholly illegal in the country. The illegal gambling though has been hard for the government and police departments to trace because it is taking place on laptop computers rather than out of a handful of cyber cafes (this is often the case in developing countries or those with strict bans). So the police cannot merely find one or two local establishments and make a bust – rather they have to use more advanced internet-savvy tracking methods to find the online casino gambling rings.

The Southern Vietnam government has really only just caught wind of how much money is changing hands every day in these illegal online casino gambling rings. And beyond just the fact that the activity is illegal, many gamblers are reporting that the casinos are unscrupulous and that the odds largely favor the house – so the efforts to crack down on illegal gambling are also for the safety and protection of Vietnamese.
