There are no specific laws in Laos regulating gambling, except for the state lottery. The 2001 Penal Law says that ‘forbidden gambling’ is illegal, but does not specify what kinds of gambling are considered illegal. This makes it easy for locals to gamble, especially at international bookies. However, the government does not monitor these sites or try to block them from being accessed in Laos.
Laos has the second largest number of state-owned and operated lottery companies in Asia, after only Cambodia. Its state-run Vietlott has a large market share in the country, and two customers won the Vietlott jackpot on Thursday. The jackpot is worth around US$12.4 million.
In Canada, before 1967 buying a lottery ticket was illegal. But that year the federal Liberal government introduced an Omnibus Bill that sought to update a number of obsolete laws. It included an amendment allowing the provinces to legally operate lotteries. Montreal mayor Jean Drapeau immediately took advantage of this opportunity to raise money for the World’s Fair and a subway system.

Despite these legal issues, lottery playing flourished in Quebec City and other Canadian cities. On September 14, 1968, the Quebec Appeal Court declared Drapeau’s “tax” to be a lottery and therefore legal.
While most countries have made gambling illegal, the law is vague and has not kept pace with technological advances. As a result, most people are able to play online, even though some sites are based in a foreign country. In Laos, where the lottery is legal, betting on international bookmakers is not monitored at all. This allows people to have no problem accessing online betting sites like 1xBet. It offers the widest array of betting options on major football leagues and competitions in Laos.
