Casinos, online betting, and sports wagering remain prohibited for locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, pilot programs have already been launched in the country, allowing local residents to gamble in certain venues, and their duration has now been extended for another five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Grand Ho Tram <\/strong>and<strong> Van Don Integrated Resort <\/strong>are the key facilities included in the expanded program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure the financial sustainability of operators, the Ministry of Finance has proposed entry fees of VND 2.5 million (about $100) for a 24-hour casino pass, or VND 50 million (around $2,000) for a monthly pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The extension of the pilot project must receive final approval from Vietnam\u2019s Prime Minister, <strong>Pham Minh Ch\u00ednh<\/strong>, and the Minister of Finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The approach now being implemented in Vietnam is largely modeled on Singapore\u2019s framework, which many experts regard as the \u201cgold standard\u201d in Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This reflects the continued development of the country\u2019s gambling decree and introduces a requirement for foreign online game providers to maintain an official presence in the region. The measure aims to foster stronger alignment between companies, local legislation, and market growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, casinos participating in the expanded pilot program are subject to strict obligations regarding player age verification and surveillance systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Corona Resort &amp; Casino<\/strong> in Phu Quoc previously took part in the pilot program that allowed local residents to gamble. Although the trial\u2019s outcomes were significantly constrained by the COVID-19 pandemic, reports suggest that the resort may be granted permanent status to admit Vietnamese players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taken together, these moves illustrate the country\u2019s gradual shift in its stance toward casinos and the steady evolution of its gambling regulatory framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/sbceurasia\">Telegram channel<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vietnam may be moving closer to a new stage in gambling regulation, as local media reports suggest that two land-based casinos could be granted permission to admit local players.
