Cambodian Gambling Seminar on the Possibility of Gaming
It’s well known that, Cambodia has stood in opposition to gaming for decades. Since the Communist Revolution and the emergence of the Khmer Rouge in the 1960s, the Cambodian government said its citizens were above social ills, such as gambling, drinking, and drugs. Since the deposing of the Khmer Rouge in 1979, the Cambodian government has maintained its stance on illegal gambling for its citizens. Note that the government does allow noncitizens to gamble.
In September, for the first time, there is going to be a gambling seminar in the country.
Recently, the Cambodian government has started to relax its position in part because of the money involved with casino gambling in Cambodia. The country is uniquely placed within Southeast Asia to attract gambling revenue. Other countries in the area, such as Thailand, do not allow gambling because the government feels it is a violation of the country’s Buddhist religion. Because Vietnam and Laos have Communist governments, gambling is also prohibited in those countries. Many residents of Southeast Asia are looking for gaming opportunities and, increasingly, they are looking to Cambodia as a gambling destination. It is estimated that in 2016 alone, gambling revenue was in excess of $30 million. That amounts to a large amount of money in a country that is still developing. The Cambodian government, while publicly still not in favor of gambling, has noted the gambling industry has been profitable for the country.
Gambling laws in Cambodia have also come under scrutiny. While Cambodian citizens cannot gamble, many do because they have a foreign passport, which signifies dual citizenship, thus allowing them to gamble in a casino. In addition, many citizens also spend millions of dollars gambling in illegal casinos, sportsbooks, card games, and lotteries each year, which means the Cambodian government is missing out on the revenue from all the illegal gambling ventures.
In addition, Cambodia is already a tourist destination for eco-tourists who want to explore Cambodia’s rainforests or ancient Buddhist temples, such as Angkor Wat. Gamblers have also been coming to the country, and, in some cases, were flown in by the casinos.
Gambling Seminar
The nation of Cambodia is looking for investors to increase the number of casinos in the country, which currently stands at 75. The seminar, which opens in September, hopes to attract businesses with plans to further develop the country’s casino industry. It is hoped businesses interested in the gaming industry will be able to communicate with each other and form partnerships to expand gaming. Gaming executives are also going to meet to discuss how to approach the country with legislation that would allow Cambodian citizens to gamble. There will also be discussions on the expansion of gaming into particular areas of Cambodia, how to lure tourists to the country for gambling, and how to lure high-roller tourists into the casinos with incentives. Technology and security are also expected to be a focus of the seminar. Experts in the field believe to stay competitive, as well as win additional government approval, the gaming industry will need to ensure client safety and security. Technology will be among the main topics because the locals seems to want additional games and opportunities to play online.

From Entry-Level Candidates to Team Leads in a Year — How We Trained and Developed Affiliate Managers at Betmen Affiliates
My name is Margarita, and I am the Director of the Betmen Affiliates program. We launched 1.5 years ago with just 10 active partners. Finding the perfect candidate for an affiliate manager role proved challenging—being such a specialised area, I reasoned that it was much better to train on the job. Therefore, after a short while running interviews, we hired two affiliate managers one of whom had no sales experience and the other who had no experience in traffic arbitrage. It was imperative to us that we hire driven, resourceful, hard-workers; it’s people like these who can launch a new brand almost from scratch and who easily understand that hitting targets sometimes means putting in more than the standard nine-to-six effort—sometimes working longer, sometimes harder.
How We Developed Two Entry-Level Affiliate Managers into Team Leads
How to Train Affiliate Managers: My Case Study
At first, both of my employees brought in very few partners, so I had to transfer some of my own over to them. At the same time, I demonstrated all the steps of partner contact. We began attending events together. Both Alex and Michael quickly took on all my recommendations, improved their skills, and eventually closed many successful deals.
An affiliate manager worth his or her salt must be able to sell the product and influence affiliates to promote it at our offered rate, promote our many payment options, and talk about conversions.
From Affiliate Managers to Team Leads
By the time we needed a team lead, we had formed a close-knit team. Even though I interviewed several candidates for the position, hiring externally did not feel right. The ideal person for the role needed to have strong managerial skills as well as be able to connect with myself and my team. Michael and Alex both recommended each other for the role. I took both their recommendations on and promoted them both to the position. Both Alex and Michael had already proven themselves, were loyal, trust-worthy and hard-working, and always driven to meet their goals
Conclusion: Why Should You Take a Chance on Newcomers?
I hired employees with almost no experience and I have no regrets. I now have a unique team that can deliver amazing results: in just a year and a half, we’ve increased the number of FTDs by 70 times and are steadily moving towards 80,000 monthly deposits. Here are the key takeaways from their stories:
→ A candidate’s enthusiasm is more important than relevant experience. You can teach anyone anything but you can’t spark passion in them. A future manager must be passionate about the work and strive for growth.
→ An employee who grows within the company is highly loyal to their lead and the project. Having moved from a regular manager to a team lead, they are able to train new hires because they know the role inside out. The team will respect leaders who were once in their position.
→ People who love their work drive the brand forward and achieve the best results. They focus not on working hours or weekdays but on the goals they need to accomplish.
I love my employees and am proud of them. I believe we are one of the strongest, most united, and professional teams in the industry.
