Cambodia's extensive crackdown on illegal gambling has led to the seizure of over $300 million and the repatriation of thousands of foreign nationals.

Cambodia's latest crackdown on illegal online gambling resulted in the arrest of 591 suspects, with most being foreign nationals. The operation, conducted in Poipet City, targeted a 30-floor building housing the gambling syndicate.

Cambodia is suspending online gambling activities starting in October to combat online scams, illegal gambling, and money laundering. Nearly 30,000 people have been arrested for related crimes in the past year.
