Cambosix, the sole football-gambling agency of Cambodia, had closed all its outlets on Wednesday in accordance with an order issued by Prime Minister Hun Sen on Tuesday, national media said on Thursday.
"The police are forcing us to close," Nancy Chau, manager of the Cambosix's head office in Phnom Penh, was quoted by English-language newspaper the Phnom Penh Post as saying.
Minister of Economy and Finance said that the government would sign a license termination agreement with the company, which would stipulate that it would not receive any compensation.
The betting chain had 20 outlets across the country and its current operation license was due to expire in 2011.
On Tuesday, the premier gave the order to close Cambosix during a student graduation ceremony of a university in Phnom Penh, citing that the government didn't get much tax incomes from Cambosix, but instead its operation caused the country social disorder, domestic violence, family divorce and robbery.
Cambosix, the only legitimate bookmaker in Cambodia, won the license from the government for the first time in 2001 and managed to renew it in Feb. 2007.

If you are part of Hun Xen line you will not be closed. I think you are pare of the Chea Sim or Sor Kheng line. Why dont you watch the Naga? Hun Xen never touch it. Mr. Hun Xen strategy is to destroy the income of Mr. Chea Sim by trying to close any business generating income for Chea Sim
No, Cambodia Six is part of Pouk Ah Scam Rainxy. They brought it directly from the west, and it has created much harm to Khmer society as intended by Ah Scam Rainxy so that he can get more votes in the election.
This type of evil doing must all be shut down to save Cambodia, period.
1:12 is an idiot. Hok Lundy used to signed the paperwork that enabled Cambo Six to operate. In essence, it was protected under the police.
Signature doesn't mean shit, Ah Potato digger. You know fair well that the six number game came from the west, and Ah Scam Rainxy brought it over to destroy Khmer people.
1:25, you are an idiot. Where do you think we got the number system from? I don't think our Khmer developed it. Sorry.
All please make sure onr rumor that A Nhok Kit Meng lost a lot of money with casino at LASVIGAS and MACAO?
No Cambo Sex is belong to Xun Shen's nephew Khun Toooo
Oh good, that mean sex workers in Cambodia is safe.
In that case, I think we should invite Dr Lao to come to Cambodia for some fun. He has been lost in Westerner's smoke bombs in Hong Kong for too long. I think it will help him to release some pressure that has been build up inside him for quite sometime.
No one is safe now, except the rulilng party's families, or maybe the intermarriage families--but those friends are not safe. The order was from the Vietnamese. I hope Hun Sen is not trying to Vietnamize the Cambodian people. We all know that Hun Sen already had a pistol in his head by the Viet Minh's boss.
2:48, when I was in Phnom Penh for the New Year, I heard he lost 3 million. That's crazy! The disappointment is that money could be used to improve Cambodia; instead, rich people are wasting (or giving it away) to foreign country. Deep deep disappointment.
One guy in this forum don't want to helping khmer he want khmer get trouble with their family everyday,because their life in the gambling.Look at khmer lived in USA some khmer families like to gambling and always get trouble with their family everyday,but they can't do nothing against the USA law. If they try to do they will in jail.How about khmer in Cambodia country everyone still have poor.How they gonna find money to buy some food to feed their own family?

These are the Trade Mark of Hun Sen Regime.
Hun Sen, Chea Sim and Heng Samrin are Khmer Rouge commanders.
When is the ECCC going to bring these three criminals to U.N. Khmer Rouge Trail?
Khmer Rouge Regime is a genocide organization.
Hun Sen Regime is a terrorist organization.
Hun Sen Bodyguards is a terrorist organization.
Hun Sen Death Squad is a terrorist organization.
Cambodian People's Party is a terrorist organization.
I have declare the current Cambodian government which is lead by the Cambodian People's Party as a terrorist organization.
Whoever associate with the current Cambodian government are associate with a terrorist organization.
Hun Sen's government (Cambodian People's Party) invented human right abuses, intimidation, death threats, assassination, murder, killing, eviction, land grabbing, injustice and corruptions in Cambodia.
These are some of Hun Sen Regime's Trade Mark.
Under Hun Sen Regime, no criminals that has been committed murder and all other crimes within Hun Sen's government ever been brought to Hun Sen Regime's court.
agree with previous statement that it's never a good idea to allow casino operation in the capital city. should confine it only to border towns only if anything.
