Vietnam legalizes sports betting

31.10.2006, Lesen Sie hier den Bericht über «Vietnam legalizes sports betting»

Effective from next year (Vietnam).- Bets on foreign soccer matches will become legal next year in betting-crazy Vietnam, where a multi-million dollar gambling ring in a state agency led to the resignation of a cabinet minister in April.

Newspapers quoted the Sports Minister last week as saying the National Sports Committee was seeking government approval to establish a joint venture with a foreign bookmaker to provide betting services on international soccer games. The communist-run Southeast Asian country prohibits all forms of gambling, but illegal betting on football matches in England, Italy, Spain and other countries is very popular. Officials have estimated around $1 billion is transmitted illegally every year for soccer betting.
