Vietnam is considering a pilot program to legalize online gambling as part of its broader economic reform agenda. The Ministry of Finance has proposed a limited trial involving a small number of operators, focusing on sports betting and online lottery games.
Supporters argue that regulation could help Vietnam tap into the growing online gambling market while curbing illegal activities. However, critics warn of potential social costs, particularly among young people.
If successful, the pilot program could pave the way for broader reforms, making Vietnam a competitive player in the Asian gambling market. Policymakers have stressed the importance of balancing economic benefits with social responsibility.
