Kazakhstan President Directs Govt Agencies to Limit Gambling for Certain Individuals

Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on September 4 addressed the increasing issue of gambling in the country. As it has caused tragedy for some families, particularly young people at a higher risk, President Tokayev has instructed state authorities to establish restrictions on gambling for certain citizens.

He stressed the importance of educational and explanatory measures in the fight against fraud and drew attention to the rise in crime associated with gambling addiction. To ensure law and order, both preventive and other measures have been mandated by Tokayev.

The President emphasised the significance of the public, the clergy and the media in shaping attitudes that deter the growth of gambling addiction in the country. Additionally, the leader of the Republic of Kazakhstan highlighted the necessity of increasing efforts to prevent financial and other misconduct in the gambling industry.

“It’s crucial to monitor all financial transactions in this field,” he stated.

Kazakhstan permits gambling but with strict government regulation. Only a limited number of casinos and other gambling establishments are allowed to operate in designated zones, which the government closely monitors to ensure compliance with all regulations and prevent illegal activities. In recent years, the government has introduced stricter rules and penalties for violations, including establishing a new regulatory body – the Committee for Regulation and Control of Gambling and Lotteries. However, despite these efforts, there are concerns about the negative impact of gambling on society and the economy. Critics argue that it can lead to addiction, financial hardship for individuals and families, and contribute to organised crime and money laundering.

Iveda, a global leader in AI-driven video surveillance and smart-city technologies, announced that Subic Sun Development Inc. has chosen the IvedaAI platform as the video surveillance solution for the soon-to-open Subic Sun Resort, Convention & Casino. IvedaAI was selected early in the build-out to inform camera placement and ensure frictionless integration with future-ready, AI-powered analytics. Located on the former U.S. naval base in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone—a special economic hub that hosts thousands of international and local businesses—the resort will feature 500 guest rooms, a state-of-the-art convention center, a luxury casino and two Accor-brand hotels, Ibis Styles and Mercure, scheduled to open in December 2025.

The decision comes as global resort operators sharpen their focus on safety, service and operational efficiency. The global resort market generated $347 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach nearly $945 billion by 2030, an 18.5% CAGR. IvedaAI’s AI-enabled video analytics will help property staff lower security costs, respond to incidents faster and unlock data-driven insights that boost both guest satisfaction and bottom-line performance.

“Iveda being selected as a premier security and surveillance provider before the first Subic Sun Resort guest ever checks in is a powerful endorsement of our commitment to providing state-of- the-art monitoring technology. By designing camera layouts around IvedaAI’s real-time analytics, Subic Sun can optimize coverage, reduce blind spots, and deliver safer, smoother guest experiences—without a costly equipment overhaul. We expect more ground-up projects to follow this blueprint,” said David Ly, CEO and Founder of Iveda.

Iveda Philippines—Iveda’s joint venture focused on nationwide smart-city deployment—secured the Subic Sun contract and will oversee the on-site rollout. The win represents the team’s first major hospitality project and advances its plan to generate US $3 million in smart-city revenue by FY 2026, building on the broader initiative it announced last year.
