Local media reports that?Vietnam’s government has expanded its legal sports betting market?to a variety of wager-worthy sports such as the?Premier League, and the UEFA Champions League.??

The?Ministry of Finance said?on a draft bill?that only international football events organized by the International Federation of Football Association (FIFA) are currently allowed, such as the FIFA World Cup and matches involving?AFC Asian Cup.?The annual events are set to lure more bettors?according to the Ministry. However,?these events often occur only every two or four years.??

Moreover, the government said it wouldn’t announce the official list of sports until an unspecified later date.?

The ministry?also suggested that gamblers pay via digital wallets and prepaid cards aside from?current bank transfers.?

While Vietnam has legalised betting in the year?2017,?it has yet to license any bookmaking business.?The ministry requires bookmakers a minimum capital of VND1 trillion ($43.3 million), causing concern over recovering?investments.?

Vietnamese gamblers spend an estimate of?$800 million a year?betting?on?overseas,?predominantly?in Macau, Singapore and Hong Kong,?and?Vietnamese gamblers are earning a?minimum?of?VND10 million or US$432?to gamble in a casino?in?Phu?Quoc island.??

?Illegal betting and gambling is widespread?within the country.?Earlier this year, Vietnamese police busted a US$12.9 million online gambling ring for allegedly running a football gambling den.
