I previously worked at a gambling company in Sihanoukville, Cambodia, and have now returned to share the real situation there, to prevent others from falling into the same trap.
I was hired as a Senior Golang Backend Developer, and they also recruited for PHP, Android, iOS, React, and other positions. However, I must tell you, all the job descriptions provided by this company are fake!
1. False promises, all pitfalls upon joining
During recruitment, they boasted:
✅ Salary increase of 1500U after three months ➝ False!
✅ Double salary at year-end ➝ False!
✅ 15 days of paid leave after working for six months ➝ False!
Even the CEO and CTO listed on their official website are fabricated, with randomly grabbed images and made-up names, with no way to verify any real information!
2. The office environment is outrageous, worse than a construction site
The modern office buildings and comfortable environments advertised on their official website are all fake. During video interviews with job seekers, they would say:
"We are building a new office, it will look just like the one in the pictures once it's finished."
But what's the reality?
Their so-called "new office" is just a seven-story brick building next to a ruin, with no elevator, almost like a pigsty.
The so-called swimming pool is as disgusting as a septic tank, no one dares to go in.
The so-called basketball court has turned into a mud field, the hoops are all broken, and no one fixes them.
You also have no time to use these facilities, working 996, exhausted to death.
3. Deep tricks in salary payment, ruthless exploitation
The agreed salary was 4000U, to be converted into US dollars in cash based on the exchange rate on the day of payment.
However, the actual situation is:
They exchange at the lowest rate, cheating you out of at least 500U to 800U.
Actual salary payments are often delayed, never on time.
Money deductions are arbitrary, the management is a bunch of beasts, deducting salaries for any reason they can find.
My salary, according to the normal exchange rate, should have been 4100U~4200U, but I only received 3200U! That's 900U less, and when I tried to argue, they were indifferent: "What can you do to me?"
4. No labor contract, everything relies on deceitful talk
You think you could have a contract when joining the company? Think again!
All promises are verbal, with no legal protection!
Think you can just leave? Impossible! Some who tried to leave had their salaries completely deducted, even threatened!
Always living in fear, worried about offending someone and getting double-crossed.
5. The only true promise from this company: four meals a day
The only thing you can be sure of in this company is indeed the four meals a day in Sihanoukville, Cambodia; everything else is a lie.
6. Why did I choose to run away?
Many might think, since the salary is high, endure the poor environment a bit, at least you can save some money.
But the problem is, you can't save money, and it's even hard to say if you can get it!
The management finds various reasons to deduct salaries, imposes fines at will, and the money never really reaches your hands.
You could be double-crossed at any moment, or internally sabotaged, becoming expendable at any minute.
There is no legal protection here, and no one cares if you get scammed.
So, after working there for a while, I realized this place is not fit for humans, and before getting completely trapped, I quickly figured out a way to run away.
Summary:
⚠️ Warning to all those considering going to the gambling industry in Sihanoukville, Cambodia! ⚠️
✅ All recruitment information, benefits, and salary promises from this company are fake!
✅ No contract, arbitrary salary deductions, difficult to leave, and easy to get double-crossed!
✅ The work environment is like a garbage dump, nothing like the beauty advertised on the official website!
✅ Earning money is just a dream; in reality, you're just working for the company for free, ending up hurt and exploited!
If you really get lured by such companies, find a way to run away as soon as possible, otherwise, you'll end up losing both money and peace of mind!
The name of this company, translated into Chinese, is: "How are you?" I'm afraid of retaliation, so I won't say more.
Beware! The gambling company in Sihanoukville is highly deceptive, offering fake salaries and benefits!
