Thailand government proposes casino entry restrictions for local residents
Thailand’s government has proposed rules for locals entering casinos in planned integrated resorts, according to the reported draft bill. Thai nationals would need at least 50 million baht in fixed deposits held for six months, and the entry fee would be capped at 5,000 baht. Public hearings were scheduled to run until 1 March, after which the draft would require cabinet approval before parliamentary consideration.
The proposed eligibility and fee rules would shape operators’ access to local customers in Thailand’s planned casino market.
