Economics and statistics

Vietnam's gambling economy is built on two pillars: licensed resort casinos (primarily for foreigners and VIPs) and the lottery sector, where both provincial draws and computerized draws operate.

The budget receives revenues through licenses, gross gaming income tax, and general corporate taxes; the regulator strengthens reporting, AML/KYC and the transition to eKYC and cashless payments.

Seasonality is formed by tourist peaks and holidays, currency fluctuations affect margins and equipment purchases.

Online casinos remain outside the legal field, which is why part of the potential turnover goes offshore.

Basic KPIs for monitoring: GGR by segment (slots/tables/VIP/lotteries), share of tourists in visits, loading of halls by days/hours, non-cash share of transactions, margin taking into account operating and tax costs.

The general vector is gradual growth due to tourism, standardization of processes and digitalization of payments while maintaining strict compliance.
