Background

Empire Casino & Hotel is a licensed casino but rents office space to online operations. It is a relatively new site, , which began construction in late 2024, and started advertising office space for rent before construction was even completed.

Posts on Poipet property pages advertise office space at Empire Casino, stating that the location is licensed and has ‘100% safety’. Images attached to these posts show offices set up to accommodate rows of computers. Some ads target the Indonesian community, as Indonesian online operators are known to have a significant presence in Poipet. These ads continue to be posted in April 2026, even as police were conducting a crackdown on online scams across the city.

According to these rental ads, the casino offers Thai, Indonesian, and Cambodian internet connection, which would allow users to present their location in any of these countries. Some ads include price lists for different internet connections, as well as internet equipment. Several posts say the casino has IT staff on standby 24 hours a day.

The property has offices of various sizes available for rent. Images attached to rental posts indicate that many are already rented.

In December 2025, Cambodia’s gambling commission approved an updated floorplan for the casino. The plan mentions office space in one of the two buildings, but does not specify that it will be rented out.
