Gambling in Vietnam had been deemed illegal for many centuries. Frankly, until the late 20th century, the only legal gambling form was the national lottery. The government had been trying to battle illegal dens for many years, and for those who wanted to bet, Vietnam wasn't exactly paradise.

Eventually, officials decided to legalize games of chance by passing a decree in 2017; which included betting on football games, horse races and greyhound racing. On June 14, 2018, the parliament's National Assembly passed the final bill that legalized sports betting, together with casinos.

Here comes the tricky part, though, as the new regulation brings a few obstacles. When talking about sports betting, Vietnam citizens are only allowed to play provided they are 21 and above. Apart from that, they need to have permission from their family to enter these establishments and show a monthly income that exceeds 10 million Dong per month.

If this is not enough, there is also a minimum betting limit set at 1,000 Dong and a maximum of 1 million Dong per day. Naturally, most active Vietnamese players prefer international bookmakers that widely accept them.

The main reason is that there are no absurd limitations; they can register from 18 years old, and they face no real threat of fines or prosecution by the federal government.
