## Full section analysis

The Commercial Gambling Management Commission of Cambodia is drafting a casino integrity and quality evaluation framework, reviewed by its General Secretariat on 4 September 2026, that would set minimum suitability conditions for both new casino licence applications and renewals of existing licences. This is a draft regulator instrument: it is not yet finalised, its scoring criteria are undisclosed, and no implementation date has been published. Until the framework is published in full, the practical suitability bar facing an applicant or a renewing incumbent cannot be assessed. This development sits alongside, but is distinct from, the online-gambling suspension affecting casino premises, which is an enforcement and activity-class matter rather than a licensing-framework one. The direction of travel is toward a materially stricter suitability standard across the licensed casino estate.
