Online Poker: How Popular Is It in Vietnam?

Online gambling activities in general and poker in particular are quite popular among residents of diverse Asian countries. At the same time, they are still not legal in Vietnam. There are no specific online poker laws in the country – the general prohibition on gambling on the Internet coming from the Decree on casino business holds for this popular game too.

And, according to statistics, these companies report on having a high number of players from the country, who, as a rule, are extremely attracted by the generous bonuses poker rooms provide for their clients.
