Online
Gambling
for
Vietnam?
January
14,
2008
With
Vietnam
experiencing
a
rapid
growth
in
their
economic
structure,
it
is
no
wonder
that
people
would
start
to
turn
to
them
to
be
the
next
frontier
for
online
gambling.
The
country
is
considering
allowing
gambling,
and
casinos
to
be
legalized
in
their
country,
and
that
they
would
be
able
to
draw
tax
revenues
from
those
venues.
The
country’s
Ministries
of
Finance,
Investment
and
Planning
are
allegedly
drafting
legal
documentation
that
would
put
the
order
into
effect
and
legalize
gambling.
They
are
supposedly
taking
care
of
ensuring
the
safety
of
their
residents
as
they
want
protection
for
gamblers
and
regulations
put
in
place
against
criminal
activity.
The
proposal
will
also
allow
gambling
providers
to
open
their
doors
in
the
country.
This
will
be a
major
change
for
the
country
because
only
a
lottery
has
been
allowed
to
prosper
in
their
borders,
and
that
all
other
types
of
gambling
have
been
illegal.
In
2003
they
started
allowing
gambling
to
foreign
passport
holders,
but
that
was
all.
With
the
way
that
gambling
has
been
spreading
across
the
Asian
countries,
many
wonder
if
the
proposals
will
contain
any
information
on
online
gambling
as
well.
They
hope
that
they
choose
to
include
online
gambling
as
it
could
be
regulated
as
well,
and
it
will
only
add
to
the
additional
tax
income
that
the
country
could
profit
from.
They
say
that
they
already
have
illegal
gambling
dens
in
the
country
and
it
is
only
a
matter
of
time
before
the
population
starts
participating
in
online
gambling
as
well.
They
hope
that
Vietnam
chooses
to
embrace
online
gambling
instead
of
shunning
it,
for
it
could
be a
poor
financial
decision.
